Former Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby Ends Home Detention After Federal Convictions

Former Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby completed her one-year home detention sentence following convictions on federal perjury and mortgage fraud charges. U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby ordered the return of Mosby's passport and waived the $1,447 location monitoring fee, acknowledging her financial hardship caused by legal fees and unemployment during the prosecution. Mosby was convicted in part for misusing funds withdrawn under the CARES Act during the pandemic and for submitting a false gift letter during a mortgage application for Florida vacation homes. Despite restrictions, Mosby was allowed to travel for work and personal reasons, including her role as director of global strategy for a church-based outreach organization. The U.S. Probation Office plans to file for early termination of her supervised release following completion of home detention. Mosby has appealed her convictions and maintained her law license during the process, and recently made a public appearance at a community event hosted by the Empowerment Temple.
