Mosby is facing charges of perjury and creating false mortgage applications. The trial was delayed again to November after the entire defense team quit.
Mosby pled not guilty to the charges last year. Those charges allege that she falsely claimed financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic to withdraw $90,000 from her retirement accounts. The claim is that she then used those funds to make two down payments on vacation properties in Florida. That is a violation of the law.
Fox News reports that despite the claims of financial hardship, records show that Mosby had a full salary of $247,955.58 in 2020. This is hardly a case of financial hardship in most people’s eyes. However, 2020 is the year she withdrew funds from her retirement accounts to pay for the down payments on the properties she allegedly used as investment properties.

Prosecutors also allege that Mosby lied on mortgage applications by failing to disclose unpaid federal taxes.

Her lead attorney, A. Scott Bolden, quit last month after U.S. District Court Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby threatened to hold him in contempt of court.

The judge told Bolden off because he used profanities in an interview outside of the Baltimore courthouse and because he alleged racial animus against his client. He also allegedly disclosed confidential responses from jurors in court filings. These are all things that can land Bolden in legal trouble himself, and it appears that he decided to quit the defense team instead of digging himself further into a hole with this particular case.

Mosby did not win her re-election campaign after facing charges in the courts. She couldn’t even win the Democrat primary that she would have needed to win to get in place to win re-election. She served two terms in her role, and she was often very high-profile in terms of the responsibilities and roles she played in that office. One of the things that she was known for at the time, according to Fox News, was her failure to prosecute the police officers involved in the death of Freddie Gray.
