BALTIMORE (AP) — Mayor Martin O'Malley has apologized to the city prosecutor in their first meeting since he publicly berated her for dropping charges against a police officer accused of corruption.
"There was no yelling and screaming. We were all very civilized and civil," State's Attorney Patricia Jessamy said after the Thursday meeting.
O'Malley, in a profanity-laced tirade two weeks ago, told reporters Jessamy didn't have the "guts" to try Brian L. Sewell, a police officer accused of fabricating drug charges.
Jessamy said she dropped the misconduct charges against Sewell because critical evidence was lost as a result of a break-in at a police department unit.
