Marilyn Mosby has trial delayed after entire defense team quits
The Maryland Bar Counsel has filed a petition to suspend former Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby's law license, following alleged misuse of her finances during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A new petition, filed Tuesday, asked the Maryland Supreme Court to immediately suspend Mosby because she was found guilty of a "serious crime" as defined under state ethics rules for lawyers.

The petition requests Mosby to "be suspended immediately from the practice of law pending the imposition of sentence and entry of a judgment of conviction."

With two trials and two guilty verdicts maybe there is a good chance for the sentences to run consecutive.

While not charged in the case himself, Nick Mosby could face fallout from revelations during the trial, including that he was in such financial straits at one point that he got behind on the mortgage, his car was repossessed and his wages were garnished because of unpaid student loans.

He is running for re-election as council president, a role that includes overseeing the annual city budget process and presiding over the Board of Estimates, the city spending panel.

that is how Baltimore rolls

how stupid was she ?


She used the money to close on the two Florida properties, worth almost $1 million combined: an eight-bedroom house near Disney World and a beachside condo on the Gulf Coast.

While much of the trial focused on Mosby’s failure to disclose a federal tax debt that with penalties and interest had grown to $69,000 , the guilty verdict was for a “gift letter” she composed saying that her then-husband Nick Mosby gave her enough money to close on the condo in Longboat Key, Florida.

Mosby was about $5,000 short on closing because the mortgage lender wouldn’t accept an earnest money deposit from an account she shared with her daughter. She needed to find $5,000, or convince the lender that she could come up with it at closing, quickly.

One of the loan underwriters testified that his company already had locked in an interest rate for Mosby at that time. If Mosby didn’t close, the underwriter said, “that rate lock was set to expire.”

Her mortgage broker, Gilbert Bennett, had another solution. He downloaded a template for a “gift letter” from the lending company’s website, filled it out partially and told Mosby to take it from there.

Nick Mosby, president of the Baltimore City Council, testified that he pledged to give Mosby $5,000 at close.

But, as the forensic accountant testified, he didn’t have that much money in his account. Marilyn Mosby waited until she received her next paycheck and transferred $5,000 to her then-husband. Nick Mosby transferred the money from his checking account to his savings account and back again.

Then, he wired it to an escrow agent for closing. The FBI accountant said the transaction was the only time Marilyn Mosby transferred money to her husband in the five years of the couple’s financial records that were reviewed.

she put herself at risk to get a rate lock ?

So I guess the jury truly followed MLK's words of judging her by the content of her character instead of her skin color.

Outstanding!

“Former Baltimore DA Marilyn Mosby is seeking a presidential pardon as she faces decades behind bars for perjury and mortgage fraud.

The ex-prosecutor, 44, insisted to MSNBC's Joy Reid that she has done 'absolutely nothing wrong, nothing illegal, nothing criminal', and argued that Biden dismissing her conviction would be 'appropriate.' [chuckle]

Mosby said her conviction was a 'political attack' against her, with Reid citing her decision to charge police officers involved in the controversial 2015 death of Freddie Gray as the reason she 'found herself on the other side of the courtroom.'

She is set to be sentenced on May 23, after a jury found her guilty of illegally withdrawing funds from her city retirement and lying on a mortgage application for a Florida home she bought with the money. …

I have no doubt the regime will do anything to further damage America. But I can't think of any real use they had or have for Mosby. What has she done for them? It's not like MD is going to go for Trump if Brandon doesn't throw them this bone. His handlers probably don't see any value in pardoning Mosby.

The "real use" is additional pandering to his voting base

Maybe not a Maryland advantage but he will do anything to show he is down with the brothers (and sisters).
He has a Homo-Black Press Sec, A Idiot-Black VP, put one on the Supreme Court .... just because.
Yeah, I can see him doing it, if he is not napping. Eek

Biden doesn't need to pander to his base. He needs to convince working class Americans in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin to vote for him.

Yeah, this regime is worried about being accused of "abuse of power," which like "obstruction of Congress," appears no where in the federal code. LOL. Lots of people get pardoned who have never been charged, let alone convicted or sentenced or served any time. Does anyone think Hunter Biden isn't getting a pardon on his dad's way out the door?

NAACP calls on Biden to pardon Marilyn Mosby, who was allegedly victimized by Trump

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news...1a7a488d9b4a0c&ei=56

The NAACP and 14 other civil rights organizations called on President Joe Biden in a letter to pardon Marilyn Mosby, a former state’s attorney for Baltimore, on federal charges related to mortgage fraud and perjury.

Mosby was convicted in February of making a false mortgage application in an attempt to secure a lower interest rate, and in November 2023, she was convicted of perjury when she claimed to have suffered a pandemic-related financial setback and withdrew money from her city retirement account. The money was then used to make a down payment on two vacation properties in Florida. Her sentencing is set for May 23, and she faces up to 40 years in prison.

The letter from the NAACP asserts that Mosby was targeted by the Trump administration’s Department of Justice, having endured “political” and “malicious” prosecution.

“We are deeply concerned that the last administration abused their power to advance a meritless indictment against Ms. Mosby and worse, the current administration’s U.S. Department of Justice ignored a clear political motive of the malicious prosecution against Ms. Mosby,” the letter reads.

According to the letter, Mosby vowed to prosecute any federal agent who engaged in unlawful actions after former President Donald Trump threatened to deploy federal agents to Baltimore during the protests following the death of George Floyd. Two months later, Mosby learned she was under federal investigation.

The DOJ argued that because Mosby retained her full salary, she did not require the funds she withdrew from her retirement plan, but the NAACP said she did meet an objective standard qualifying her for withdrawal.

“In contrast, 739 individuals withdrew funds from their retirement accounts without being charged for improper withdrawals, including three within her agency,” the letter reads. “Ms. Mosby was the only person charged.”

The letter describes the charges as a “miscarriage of justice and an example of the last administration’s misuse of authority.”

While the letter points the blame to the Trump administration, Democratic U.S. attorney Erek Barron brought the charges against Mosby, and the case has been handled by Biden-nominated U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby.

For the past several weeks, Mosby has promoted an online petition calling for Biden to pardon her, and it has received 9,000 signatures so far.
