Former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby has been ordered by a judge to a year of home detention after being convicted on one count of mortgage fraud and two counts of perjury. However, recent reports have shown that she attended an event located several miles from her home in Baltimore over the weekend with friends, supporters, and family members. The court-ordered home detention requires Mosby to remain confined to her home in Fells Point as well as communal areas at her apartment complex. She is also permitted to leave her residence for doctor appointments, court dates, child care responsibilities, employment-related reasons, and to meet with her legal team; travel outside for these reasons must be pre-approved.
In February, Mosby was convicted of mortgage fraud after she testified that she unintentionally made false statements on loan applications to buy two Florida vacation homes. In November, she was convicted of two counts of perjury by a federal jury after falsely claiming financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to withdraw money from the city’s retirement fund. A judge sentenced Mosby to a year of home detention and three years of supervised release in May.
Mosby posted a video on Instagram featuring her with family and friends at a “thank-you barbecue” in Clarksville, Maryland. In the video slideshow, Mosby is seen wearing an ankle monitor, which she must wear as part of her home detention sentence. The court-ordered home detention requires Mosby to remain confined to her home in Fells Point as well as communal areas at her apartment complex, and she is permitted to leave her residence for doctor appointments, court dates, child care responsibilities, employment-related reasons, and to meet with her legal team; travel outside for these reasons must be pre-approved.
Last week, Mosby’s legal team filed a brief with the federal appeals court seeking to have her name cleared while pleading with the court to find flaws in the two trials in which she was convicted of perjury and mortgage fraud. In the court filing first reported on by the Baltimore Sun and obtained by Fox News Digital, Mosby said her conviction was the result of a prosecution that was “ill-advised and ill-conceived from the beginning.
