Supreme Court declines to hear Marilyn Mosby’s appeal in perjury and fraud case

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear former Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s appeal in her perjury and mortgage fraud case.

Mosby, 46, was found guilty at separate trials in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt of two counts of perjury as well as one count of making a false statement on a loan application. The convictions were related to her purchase of two luxury vacation homes in Florida.

U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby sentenced Mosby to three years of supervised release, with the first year on home detention, and ordered her to perform 100 hours of community service.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit in 2025 threw out her conviction for mortgage fraud but upheld the guilty verdicts for perjury.

The full bench refused to rehear the appeal.

In 2020, Mosby, a Democrat, twice filled out forms to withdraw a total of $90,000 from a retirement account under penalty of perjury.

Mosby would not have been able to access those funds but for a provision in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act. She then used the money to buy a home in Kissimmee and a condominium in Longboat Key, both in Florida.

Jurors determined that she lied on the forms. They also concluded that she falsely claimed in a letter to the mortgage company that her husband at the time, Nick Mosby, had agreed to gift her $5,000 at the time of closing on the condo.

From the start, Marilyn Mosby maintained her innocence.

She unsuccessfully sought a pardon from President Joe Biden.

Mosby served as the city’s top prosecutor from 2015 to 2023. Ivan Bates defeated her in the Democratic primary in 2022 and then ran unopposed on Election Day.
