STATE & NATIONAL: On Thursday, former Maryland State Attorney Marilyn Mosby received sentencing in a case that resulted in the 43 year old state official's forfeiture of a lavish Florida condominium. The judge in the trial ultimately sentenced Mosby to 1 year of house arrest and 100 hours of community service following the guilty plea on charges involving perjury and mortgage fraud. By Anne M. Erbynstein "This dishonesty also occurred when you held the highest office for a prosecutor in the City of Baltimore."-- Judge Lydia Grigsby Following the case that found the former Baltimore county state's attorney guilty involving 2 felony charges, the judge in the trial, Lydia Griggsby, avoided sentencing Marilyn Mosby to the maximum sentence for the crimes committed. "God was here today and I know he’s with me. He touched the heart of this judge and has allowed me to go home to my babies."-- Former Baltimore State's Attorney, Marilyn Mosby During the closing moments of the trial, Judge Grigsby commented in regard to the serious nature of the offenses committed by the tearful Mosby. Judge Grigsby commented further alluding to the damage that had been imposed on the Baltimore community by Mosby , the impact of her wrongdoing leaving a impression of disappointment on residents who once held the former prosecutor in high esteem. "What is different here today is that underneath that white collar is the neck of a Black woman who dared to challenge the status quo." --Attorney Ben Crump One who impresses as being a committed Christian, Mosby commented in reference to the presence of "God..." during the trial. Mosby stated, "This is not over..." indicating that the former Baltimore official believes that the trial ended in a wrongful verdict -a matter that, by attorney Ben Crump described a situation that may have been associated with racial bias. Mosby, who has 2 minor daughter, stated that God touched the heart of the judge who showed leniency in enabling her to remain at home with her children as opposed to the sentence sought after by federal prosecutors who stated their hope for a 20 month prison sentence. The court appointed attorney, James Wyda, defended Mosby who, by Judge Grigsby, found that the defendant had been rendered to a state of indigents, despite her former 200,000 annual salary. The case brought against Marilyn Mosby span the course of 2 years following the charges filed in 2022.
