A federal jury found former Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby guilty of perjury Thursday.
The verdict came a year and a half after Mosby was indicted on charges of falsely claiming financial hardship due to the coronavirus pandemic. Mosby claimed in 2020 that she met at least one of the qualifications for relief defined under the CARES Act.
Mosby's trial was initially slated for February but was delayed for months after her defense team quit. Additionally, Mosby faces two charges of making false mortgage applications related to the purchases of two vacation homes in Florida. The Department of Justice hasn't set a trial date for the case, but Mosby has pleaded not guilty. Mosby applied for a $490,500 mortgage to purchase a home in Kissimmee, Florida, and a $428,400 mortgage to purchase a condominium in Long Boat Key between 2020 and 2021.
The former prosecutor could face up to five years in prison for each perjury charge. A sentencing date has not been set.
