GREENBELT, Md. (NEWSnet/AP) — A former Baltimore city prosecutor was spared any prison time in her sentence Thursday for perjury and mortgage fraud.
Marilyn Mosby’s sentence includes 12 months of home confinement, 100 hours of community service and three years of supervised release.
Mosby was convicted of lying about her finances to make early withdrawals from retirement funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and fraudulently claiming that her own $5,000 was a gift from her then-husband as she closed on a Florida condominium.
Mosby, 44, has maintained her innocence. She declined to address U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby before learning her sentence.
Her lawyers said they would appeal while they seek a presidential pardon,
The judge noted that Mosby's crimes didn’t involve any taxpayer money and said the prospect of separating Mosby from her two young daughters “weighed very heavily” on her decision.
Mosby, 44, gained a national profile when she charged officers in the 2015 death of Freddie Gray, which led to riots and protests in the city. After three officers were acquitted, Mosby’s office dropped charges against the other three officers. She ultimately served two terms before she was indicted and lost reelection.
