Former Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby convicted of perjury in Florida retirement home case

Former Baltimore state's attorney Marilyn Mosby has been convicted of two counts of perjury for lying about the finances of a side business to access retirement funds during the pandemic. She used the money to purchase two homes in Florida. Mosby gained national attention for prosecuting Baltimore police officers involved in the death of Freddie Gray in 2015. She also faces separate charges of mortgage fraud. Mosby withdrew $90,000 from Baltimore's deferred compensation plan in 2020, claiming her business was harmed by the pandemic. Prosecutors argued that she was not entitled to the funds and that her business had no clients or revenue. Mosby's lawyers claimed she was legally entitled to the money and that her business was affected by the pandemic.
