Federal prosecutors are asking the court to sentence Marilyn Mosby, the former Baltimore City prosecutor convicted of mortgage fraud and perjury, to 20 months in prison. Meanwhile, Mosby’s defense team is advocating for probation instead of jail time.
Mosby’s lawyers argue that prison isn’t suitable, suggesting supervised release as a sufficient alternative. They believe imprisonment wouldn’t serve justice in Mosby’s case.
On the contrary, federal prosecutors insist on a 20-month prison term for Mosby, followed by up to five years of probation. They maintain that Mosby’s convictions result from her repeated violations of the law, dismissing allegations of political or racial bias.
Throughout the trial, Mosby has maintained her innocence, attributing the charges to political and racial motives. The case has drawn significant attention, given its implications for Mosby’s career and the broader political landscape, especially with both the prosecutor and the judge appointed during the Biden Administration.
