Jury returns split verdict in Marilyn Mosby's mortgage fraud trial
Despite being described as a real estate rookie who trusted her family and professionals, a federal jury found former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby not guilty of Kissimmee federal mortgage fraud but guilty of the Longboat Key charge Tuesday afternoon.
The verdict was read to the court just after 5:30 p.m. after 6 hours of deliberations. The decision came after nine days of testimony and during the fourth week of the trial. Mosby was accused of making a string of false statements when she bought two vacation homes in Florida in 2020 and 2021.
The mortgage fraud trial came after Mosby was convicted of two federal perjury charges in November after a jury determined the former top prosecutor in Baltimore City lied on forms to withdraw money from her city-retirement account citing a COVID-era financial hardship when she didn’t suffer financially. The money she withdrew from the retirement account was then used as down payments on the homes in question during the mortgage fraud trial.
