Former Baltimore City SA Marilyn Mosby appeals convictions

Former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby on Thursday filed an appeal of her federal convictions on both mortgage fraud and perjury. Mosby, 44, was convicted in May of lying about her finances to make early withdrawals from retirement funds during the COVID-19 pandemic. Jurors in Mosby’s federal mortgage fraud trial returned a split verdict in February. Last month, Mosby was sentenced to 12 months of home confinement, 100 hours of community service and three years of supervised release.

Mosby has maintained her innocence.

Federal judge sentences Marilyn Mosby to home detention, supervised release, community service

Mosby’s sentence includes 12 months of home confinement, 100 hours of community service and three years of supervised release.

After the sentencing hearing, Mosby hugged her supporters, some of whom applauded when the judge announced the sentence.

“I’m just so incredibly grateful,” Mosby told dozens of supporters outside the courthouse. “This is not over, but God was here today.”

Mosby was convicted of lying about her finances to make early withdrawals from retirement funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and fraudulently claiming that her own $5,000 was a gift from her then-husband as she closed on a Florida condominium.
