One is a defense motion to dismiss the charges against the officers because of prosecutorial misconduct by Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby; the second is a motion for Mosby and other prosecutors in her office to be recused from the case. Both sides are also expected to debate whether the officers should be tried together or separately.
