US EditionCourt Overturns Ex-State Attorney’s Mortgage Fraud Conviction but Upholds Perjury Convictions
MARYLAND, JUL 11 – The 4th Circuit vacated Mosby’s mortgage fraud conviction due to flawed venue instructions but upheld perjury convictions tied to false COVID-19 financial hardship claims.
- On Friday, the federal appellate court handling the case overturned Marilyn Mosby's mortgage fraud conviction while affirming two separate perjury convictions.
- In a 2-1 decision, the court found the jury instruction regarding venue to be incorrect, concluding there was insufficient proof the offense occurred within the Maryland trial jurisdiction.
- Mosby, former Baltimore State's Attorney from 2015 to 2023, gained national attention for charging officers in Freddie Gray's 2015 death and has maintained her innocence.
- Prosecutors stated that Mosby misrepresented a $5,000 gift from her then-husband on a home mortgage application, leading to her conviction on charges including perjury related to real estate transactions.
- The appeal vacated a forfeiture order on Mosby's Florida condo and leaves open possible retrial, while her law license remains in question amid calls for revocation.
