Former progressive prosecutor faces possible disbarment over her legal battles





Former Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby may lose her law license. The Maryland Bar Counsel filed a petition Tuesday to suspend her license due to her alleged misuse of her finances during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The petition asked the Maryland Supreme Court to immediately suspend Mosby because she was found guilty of a "serious crime" as defined under Maryland's ethics rules for lawyers.

The petition requests the semi-famous Mosby "be suspended immediately from the practice of law pending the imposition of sentence and entry of a judgment of conviction." She gained national fame for prosecuting Baltimore cops after Freddie Gray, a black thug, died in police custody and four police officers were charged separately for his death. Not one case was successful for the prosecution as there were acquittals and mistrials galore, and Mosby looked like an amateur as she did not properly handle the cases. 

Mosby faced perjury charges after lying about her finances during the pandemic and was found guilty in 2022 and charged with not one, but two counts of perjury along with two counts of making false statements on a loan application.

The former prosecutor allegedly withdrew $90,000 from Baltimore city's deferred compensation plan in 2020 and then used the money as down payments to buy a home in Kissimmee, Florida, and a condominium in Long Boat Key, Florida. She didn't even have allegiance to her own state.

The shady prosecutor also falsely claimed that she suffered financial hardships during the COVID-19 pandemic, but in fact she still received a full salary of $250,000 and her husband, Nick, also got paid his full salary on the Baltimore City Counsel, so it's hard to shed any tears over their situation.

Prosecutors said that the money in the retirement account was held in a trust belonging to the city until a planned participant is eligible to withdraw it upon retirement.

They argued that Mosby wasn't entitled under federal law to access the funds in 2020 because her business, Mahogany Elite Enterprises, did not suffer any "adverse financial consequences" from the pandemic.

Jury selection for that trial will begin on January 18, 2024.

A judge ruled that Mosby would not be sentenced until the completion of her second federal trial.

Mosby's lawyer in her criminal case, Federal Public Defender James Wyda, did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
