Former Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby found guilty on 2 counts of perjury

[NY Post] Former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby has been convicted on two counts of perjury by a federal jury.

The federal jury reached the verdict Thursday, finding Mosby guilty of perjury after she falsely claimed financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to withdraw money from the city’s retirement fund, prosecutors announced.

"We respect the jury’s verdict and remain steadfastly committed to our mission to uphold the rule of law, keep our country safe, protect the civil rights of all Americans, and safeguard public property," US Attorney Erek L. Barron said.

Mosby faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison for each of the two perjury counts.

US District Judge Lydia K. Griggsby hasn’t scheduled a sentencing hearing.

Mosby initially pleaded not guilty to the charges, which allege that the former prosecutor falsely claimed financial hardship during the pandemic in order to withdraw $90,000 from her city retirement accounts.

She then used those funds for down payments on two vacation properties in Florida, prosecutors said.

Mosby lost a re-election bid in July 2022 to defense attorney Ivan Bates.

Mosby received her full salary of $247,955.58 in 2020, which is the year she claimed financial hardship and withdrew the money from her retirement accounts, according to federal prosecutors.

The trial was delayed in February after Mosby’s entire defense team quit.

*Snicker* A definite vote of No Confidence.

As she walked out of a federal courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland, following the verdict, Mosby said, "I’m blessed," according to FOX 45.

Mosby also faces two counts of making false mortgage applications in a pending federal case, which relates to the purchase of two Florida vacation homes. A trial date hasn’t yet been set in that federal case.

If convicted of making false mortgage applications, Mosby faces a maximum prison sentence of 30 years for each of the two counts.

Ouch! Still, it will be interesting to see how many other Soros DAs join her behind bars in the next few years.

#13 #2 - She got divorced too

#14 Oops - not divorced just yet - Hubs is Preznit of the Ballymore City Council and a minor-league criminal too:
The perjury charges stemmed from the testimony that Mosby provided during hearings that examined her abuse of COVID relief program funds to benefit her family. In addition to the perjury charges, Mosby is still facing two counts of mortgage fraud, but no date has been set for that possible trial yet. If convicted of everything, she would face a total of up to thirty years in prison.

But those aren’t the only possible charges she’s facing. She and her husband are also being investigated for tax evasion. The Mosby’s are separately facing allegations of campaign finance “irregularities.” They also apparently didn’t feel it was required for them to pay their water bills. Throughout all of this, Marilyn Mosby has remained indignant, insisting that she’s just a misunderstood public servant. She even filed a complaint against Fox News for reporting on her misdeeds.

#16 I don’t think George cares. These DAs are like harpoon missiles to him. They are generally people without integrity to begin with. They accomplish his goal of damaging society. He probably expects them to flame out and plans for a succession by a deputy of equally dubious character. They are ammunition not staff.
