With Key Conviction Overturned, Marilyn Mosby Pushes to Fully Clear Her Name

A federal appeals court recently delivered a mixed ruling in Marilyn Mosby's case, vacating her mortgage fraud conviction while upholding her perjury convictions related to COVID-19 retirement fund withdrawals. The 2-1 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit reversed the forfeiture of Mosby's Florida condominium valued over $900,000, determining that the venue for prosecuting the mortgage fraud charge in Maryland was improper. Mosby, who served as Baltimore's state's attorney for two terms, has maintained that the case against her was politically motivated and has already completed her home confinement sentence while being allowed to retain her law license during the appeal process.
