Former Baltimore Prosecutor Marilyn Mosby Convicted of Perjury in Florida Home Purchase Case

Former Baltimore state's attorney Marilyn Mosby has been convicted of perjury for lying about the finances of a side business to access retirement funds during the Covid pandemic, using the money to purchase two Florida homes. 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. Prosecutors argued that Mosby falsely claimed her business was harmed by the pandemic to access the funds, while her defense argued she was entitled to withdraw the money. Mosby's trial was moved from Baltimore to Greenbelt, Maryland, due to concerns of biased media coverage.
