Former Federal Prosecutor Wins Baltimore City State?s Attorney Race

By Andrew Ramonas

ADVERTISEMENTS

A former Maryland Assistant U.S. Attorney unseated a 15-year incumbent as the top state prosecutor in Baltimore, The Baltimore Sun reported Friday.

Gregg Bernstein (Zuckerman Spaeder LLP)

Gregg Bernstein, who was a federal prosecutor in Maryland from 1987 to 1991, will replace Baltimore City State?s Attorney Patricia C. Jessamy, who conceded on Friday. He is currently a partner at Zuckerman Spaeder LLP.

“The citizens view Gregg Bernstein as a state’s attorney who can make Baltimore a safe city,” Bernstein supporter Steven H. Levin told the newspaper.

The former Assistant U.S. Attorney edged out Jessamy by less than 1,400 votes in the bitter election that pitted prosecutors against police and divided parts of Baltimore on racial lines, according to The Sun. He has never sought elected office before.

Bernstein has said his top priorities will be combating crime and aggressively prosecuting criminals.
