This story is concerning former Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby, who got convicted of perjury after withdrawing money from her retirement fund during the pandemic. Mosby’s trial took place in federal court, and prosecutors argued that she used the funds to buy homes in Florida. In closing arguments, Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron Zelinsky emphasized the importance of honesty and taking an oath seriously. Her defense attorney, James Wyda, tried to make the case that Mosby began a travel business in 2019 and was financially affected by the pandemic, justifying her actions. The outcome of her case is yet to be determined, and a public statement was released by the U.S. Attorney Erek L. Barron to respect the jury’s decision. Mosby could face up to five years in prison for each count.
