FILE - Maryland State Attorney for Baltimore City Marilyn Mosby speaks during a news conference on Oct. 11, 2022, in Baltimore. The former top Baltimore prosecutor lied about her finances during the COVID-19 pandemic to improperly access retirement funds that she used to buy two homes in Florida, a federal prosecutor said Monday, Nov. 6, 2023 at the start of Marilyn Mosby's perjury trial.
“This case is about a three-page form and what was in Marilyn Mosby’s mind when she completed that form,” said Grace, an assistant federal public defender. A. Scott Bolden, a lawyer who initially represented Mosby but later withdrew from the case, has described the charges as “bogus” and claimed the case is “rooted in personal, political and racial animus.”
Mosby's attorneys argued that she couldn't get a fair trial in Baltimore, where they said she has been a “lightning rod" for nearly a decade, bombarded by negative press coverage and “dogged by persistent criticism of her prosecutorial priorities.”Mosby is charged with two counts of perjury and two counts of making false statements on a loan application.
