Former Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby has been convicted on two counts of perjury by a federal jury.
The federal jury reached the verdict Thursday, finding Mosby guilty of perjury after she falsely claimed financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to withdraw money from the city's retirement fund, prosecutors announced.
"We respect the jury’s verdict and remain steadfastly committed to our mission to uphold the rule of law, keep our country safe, protect the civil rights of all Americans, and safeguard public property," U.S. Attorney Erek L. Barron said.
Mosby faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison for each of the two perjury counts. U.S. District Judge Lydia K. Griggsby hasn't scheduled a sentencing hearing.
Mosby initially pleaded not guilty to the charges, which allege that the former prosecutor falsely claimed financial hardship during the pandemic in order to withdraw $90,000 from her city retirement accounts. She then used those funds for down payments on two vacation properties in Florida, prosecutors said.
She lost a re-election bid in July 2022 to defense attorney Ivan Bates.
Mosby received her full salary of $247,955.58 in 2020, which is the year she claimed financial hardship and withdrew the money from her retirement accounts, according to federal prosecutors.
The trial was delayed in February after Mosby's entire defense team quit.

Should I be ashamed that this news made me smile? I can’t seem to muster up that feeling.
Soros DA held accountable? There’s a real man-bites-dog story.
WHAT!!! She wanted to destroy Trump. Who did she piss off in DC?
I just love a feel good story.
Karma
My heart bleeds....
Hmmm. There must be more to this story since Covid fraud in many various forms was very common amongst pretty much all rat politicians and about half of their voters. She must of gone rogue on following orders from higher up Rats. Either she sent a protected corrupt crook up the creek, or carelessly let off someone whose life she was supposed to completely destroy.
Probably, but I don't think she has taken on President Trump.
Well, her business that suffered such horrendous hardship, was a shell company.
Sort of like those many that the Bidens curiously set up.
Lefty democrat- 30 days probation?
This idiot is not who I thought she was. I was thinking her claim to fame was giving thugs “Space to Destroy” Baltimore.
That remark actually belongs to another moron. Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake
The POS will do NO time.
Just like Jussie.
That’s oogabooganomics!
Just another CROOKED BLACK DEMOCRAT backed by SOROS, I assume.
She’ll eventually be back in office somewhere.
If you’re in her cell block, sleep with one eye open.
