Margaret Burns, spokeswoman for Baltimore State’s Attorney Patricia Jessamy,  expressed doubts about Zach Sowers’ brain injuries in an interview published in Exhibit A.  In the interview she says among other things that:

  • "He looked like a sleeping baby when he arrived” at the hospital.
  • "The injuries were not consistent with this horrible pummeling—it appeared that when he fell down, he had collapsed after being hit."
  • "He probably injured something in the fall or he had a pre-existing condition."
  • "We had not wanted to go against this poor woman. Everything she says to you is not 100 accurate. He is gone and the opportunity to have questions answered was ruined by not having an autopsy."

The spokeswoman is the official voice of the Baltimore State’s Attorney office.  These statements are at the very least inflammatory and inappropriate for the office of an elected official.  This interview shows an amazing lack of public relations skill and only reinforces negative opinions about the Baltimore State’s Attorney office.

Anna Sowers is disturbed by this latest development.
