Mosby had been found guilty of two counts of perjury in 2023 after a jury decided that she had lied in order to withdraw $90,000 from a retirement account under a provision allotted by the CARES Act, which she used to purchase a home and a condo.
Marilyn Mosby, the former top prosecutor for the City of Baltimore who found herself on trial for and later convicted of mortgage fraud, had her conviction upheld by U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby on Feb. 16. Mosby, as the Baltimore Banner reported, sought to have her case thrown out on the grounds that federal prosecutors had not done enough to establish that Mosby was in the State of Maryland when she allegedly submitted a fraudulent gift letter to her mortgage company.
Griggsby believed that the evidence presented by the prosecution was sufficient to establish that Mosby was in Maryland because she refused to throw out the case and demanded that Mosby turn over her U.S. Passport.
Griggsby said, “The court must deny the defendant’s motion as to venue issue,” before adding that a written opinion would be released at a later date. Before this recent motion, Mosby had been found guilty of two counts of perjury in 2023 after a jury decided that she had lied in order to withdraw $90,000 from a retirement account under a provision allotted by the CARES Act, which she used to purchase a home and a condo.
