Former Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby found guilty of 1 count of mortgage fraud

Former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby has been convicted of one count of mortgage fraud, after testifying that she unintentionally made false statements on mortgage functions to purchase two Florida trip properties.

The Associated Press reported that the cut up verdict was introduced Tuesday night after jury members deliberated for many of the day, discovering Mosby not guilty on a second mortgage fraud cost.

In November, Mosby was convicted of two counts of perjury by a federal jury after she falsely claimed monetary hardship in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic so as to withdraw cash from the town’s retirement fund. She has not been sentenced in both case and faces as much as 5 years for every count.
