The prosecutor of the former Baltimore State Marilyn Mosby was canceled by conviction for mortgage fraud, sentenced by jury

The conviction for the mortgage fraud of the former prosecutor of the state of Baltimore, Marilyn Mosby, was canceled by a federal court of appeal on Friday, although her convictions for perjury were confirmed, according to court documents.

Mosby was sentenced to three years of probation And a year of residual residence in May 2024 after being convicted of perjury in November 2023 and mortgage fraud in February 2024.

The decision of the court of appeal occurs shortly after the end of his sentence of detention at home.

Condemnation for canceled mortgage fraud

Mosby was found guilty of mortgage fraud After a jury discovered that she had made a false mortgage in 2021 when she bought a condo in Florida. She was a state prosecutor at the time.

According to evidence of the court, Mosby said that she had received a gift of $ 5,000 from her ex -husband – the former president of the Baltimore municipal council, Nick Mosby – which she allocated to the purchase of goods. Prosecutors said she had included the gift in her request to obtain an interest rate below.

At the time, the Ministry of Justice said that she had not received a gift, but rather sent the money to her husband before transferring it to her.

On Friday, judge Stephanie Thacker, judge of the Circuit Court of Appeals, said that the judge of the Circuit Court of Appeal declared that the conviction for the mortgage fraud of Mosby should be canceled because “the district court gave the jury an investigation of an erroneous place and because the weight of the evidence did not support the conclusion of the jury”.

Last week, Mosby said to Wjz That she had to sell one of Florida’s houses to pay the lawyer fees. The other house was on hold of appeal decisions, she said.

“The government tried to take my house and take my law permit before the appeal was exhausted, and the Supreme Court of Maryland essentially said that you could not do so, so it was a constant struggle and a battle that we temporarily won until this call was finally decided,” said Mosby last week.

Under the decision on Friday, the district canceled its order so that it was losing the house.

Judge Thacker said that the confiscation order “was not authorized by law and was unconstitutionally excessive”.

Mosby’s perjury conviction confirmed

While Mosby obtained a victory with his conviction for canceled fraud, the court confirmed his convictions for perjury.

She was found guilty for two perjury chiefs After allegations that she lied to the substance of commercial losses due to COVID-19 to withdraw funds from her retirement account.

According to the judicial archives, Mosby used the money she withdrew to pay for her holiday homes in Florida.

In the decision of court 2-1-1, the Judge Thacker declared that the conviction should have been canceled because the document “on which his convictions for perjury were founded was fundamentally ambiguous” and because “the district court wrongly admitted evidence” on its use of the funds it obtained following the perjury.

According to court documents, judge Niemeyer wrote a separate opinion. WJZ has not yet obtained these documents.

Wjz contacted Mosby lawyers to comment.
