Marilyn Mosby, former Baltimore City State's Attorney, has been found guilty of two counts of perjury related to her unauthorized withdrawal of $90,000 from a restricted city retirement account
The evidence in the trial revealed that Mosby falsely claimed a COVID-19 financial hardship to access the funds for personal gain, which included purchasing $1 million worth of Florida vacation homes
Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron Zelinsky emphasized during closing arguments that Mosby twice committed perjury in accessing funds that belonged solely to the city of Baltimore
The funds were intended for the city's use, and Mosby's actions were deemed to be for her own private gain
Mosby, who was married to Baltimore City Council President Nick Mosby, announced their separation in July of the same year as the trial
In a joint statement, the Mosbys emphasized their commitment as strong co-parents despite the divorce, stating that their dedication to family and community remains unwavering
The couple requested privacy, refraining from providing further comments or interviews regarding the divorce proceedings
Nick Mosby, the Baltimore City Council President, graduated from Baltimore Polytechnic Institute and holds an engineering degree from Tuskegee University
In 2011, Nick Mosby ran for City Council, initiating programs for juveniles awaiting trial as adults and passing legislation to eliminate criminal record requirements on job applications
Appointed to the Maryland General Assembly in 2017, Mosby worked on legislation supporting GED recipients and Historically Black Colleges and Universities, introducing tax credits to boost endowments
