Former Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby is begging the court for mercy again. Mosby asked the Federal Court of Appeals to throw out her white collar crime convictions, and let her keep a condo she purchased illegally.
Mosby was sentenced in May to one year home detention following convictions for mortgage fraud and perjury.
Prosecutors said Mosby used a bogus COVID hardship claim to withdraw money from retirement funds to buy two vacation homes in Florida.
Mosby is serving her home confinement concurrently with 3 years of supervised release. The judge also ordered Mosby to forfeit her luxury condo to the government.
In court documents, obtained by Fox News Digital, Mosby claims her conviction was the result of an “ill-advised” prosecution.
Mosby claims she was unfairly targeted and that the investigation into her spending was politically motivated.
“This prosecution was ill-advised and ill-conceived from the beginning, and the three convictions and forfeiture order that resulted are infirm,” Mosby’s attorneys wrote in the brief. “They should all be set aside.”
Mosby said she did not intentionally make any false statements on her loan documents and she signed the loan applications in good faith.
Prosecutors say Mosby lied about getting a $5,000 gift from her husband at the time, which helped her get a lower interest rate on a luxury condo in Longboat Key, Florida.
Her ex-husband, Baltimore City Council President Nick Mosby, testified that he lied about the gift because he was embarrassed.
The Mosbys share 2 minor daughters.
Mosby also begged the court to stop the government from seizing her $900,000 condominium in Florida. She claimed she could have purchased the property without the $5,000 gift letter from her ex. She said seizing the condominium would violate her constitutional rights because the punishment is excessive.
“The Longboat Key condominium is now her only significant asset — she is otherwise deeply in debt — and has generated much-needed rental income during some periods when she is not using it,” her lawyers wrote.
