Marilyn Mosby asks federal appeals court to toss perjury, mortgage fraud convictions [Video]

Former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby is continuing her fight to have her name cleared and is now pleading with a federal appeals court to find flaws in the two trials where she was convicted of mortgage fraud and perjury.

In a new court filing first reported on by the Baltimore Sun and obtained by Fox News Digital, Mosby claims her conviction was the result of a prosecution that was “ill-advised and ill-conceived from the beginning.”

Mosby was convicted on one count of mortgage fraud in February, after she testified that she unintentionally made false statements on loan applications to buy two Florida vacation homes. 

In November, she was convicted of two counts of perjury by a federal jury after she falsely claimed financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to withdraw money from the city’s retirement fund. A judge sentenced Mosby to a year of home detention and three years of supervised release in May.
