GREENBELT, Md. (WBFF) — 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.
Once selected, the jury heard from six witnesses from the
prosecution and eight from the defense, including the star defense
witness, Baltimore City Council President Nick Mosby, Marilyn’s ex-
husband. Throughout the entire trial, prosecutors from the
government tried to convince the jury that Marilyn knew about the
couple’s tax debt and liabilities and chose to omit them from the
two mortgage applications.
Nick Mosby’s testimony was emotional at times, especially while
describing the early days of his relationship with Marilyn while the
two were in college at Tuskegee University. He said he was
responsible for the couple’s ballooning tax debt, which continued to
grow since at least 2011, and admitted to lying to the public about
taking care of the $45,000 tax lien that was on his home he shared
with Marilyn in Baltimore.
Also included in the string of false statements Mosby was alleged to
have made was a gift letter Nick and Marilyn both signed indicating
he was gifting her $5,000 to close on a condo in Longboat Key,
Florida. During Nick’s testimony, he said he offered to give her the
money after Marilyn’s broker told her she was short. However, Nick
didn’t have the money, so Marilyn wired it to him. From there, he
shuffled it around between various checking and savings accounts
before wiring it to the lender.
While on the stand, Marilyn testified that she wired her now ex-
husband the money to ensure he would have the funds to cover the
amount.
Throughout the trial, Marilyn’s defense team attempted to convince
the jury that she didn’t knowingly lie on the mortgage applications,
her husband hid financial information from her for years, and she
relied on the advice and guidance from professionals while venturing
into real estate investments.
In late 2020, Nick Mosby held a news conference outside City Hall in
Baltimore following his successful election and he was asked about
the status of the tax lien; it had been previously reported the
Mosbys had a lien on their Baltimore home, but Mosby repeatedly
denied the existence.
“I said it would be done in the coming days and you know, I’ve been
able to settle that,” Nick Mosby said at the time, per FOX45 News
archives.
On the stand and under oath, Nick Mosby said he lied to the public
about the tax lien.
“I lied because I didn’t want my wife to find out,” Nick Mosby said
on the stand Monday.
Prosecutors also claimed Nick Mosby “repeatedly committed perjury”
on tax forms previously, alleging he claimed more than $20,000 in
charitable donations during the same time period in which he was
behind in mortgage payments, had his car repossessed, and had his
wages garnished to pay student loans. However, that information was
not discussed in front of the jury.
Meanwhile, Marilyn continues to fight for her law license; the
Maryland Bar Counsel filed a motion seeking to suspend it following
the perjury conviction.
Sentencing has yet to be scheduled for the mortgage fraud
convictions; while she could face a maximum of 30 years in prison
per count, it’s unlikely that will happen given her history. She
also faces up to five years in prison per perjury conviction. James
Wyda, the federal public defender and lead defense attorney on
Marilyn’s team, indicated there would be appeals filed for both
charges.
