Maryland State Attorney for Baltimore City Marilyn Mosby speaks during a news conference on Oct. 11, 2022, in Baltimore. The former top prosecutor was convicted Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2024, on one count of mortgage fraud, concluding a lengthy criminal trial …A group of 15 civil rights organizations joined together to call for President Biden to pardon former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby, who they say was targeted during the Trump administration.
She was found guilty in February of one count of mortgage fraud for making false statements on a mortgage application for the two homes. Prosecutors said she never mentioned a tax lien and a signed contract she had to rent out one of the homes, to get lower interest rates. Renting out the home was prohibited by the mortgage company as well.
The groups said Ms. Mosby’s “focus on accountability and racial equity raised the ire of highly placed officials including the U.S. Attorney General and other law enforcement officials.” The group argued that out of 739 people who withdrew funds from their retirement accounts, Ms. Mosby was the only one questioned. She was then denied due process, the opportunity to testify and present exculpatory evidence.
