BALTIMORE -- Baltimore's former top prosecutor, Marilyn Mosby, has
been found guilty of two counts of perjury—after one day of
deliberations.
After the judge read the instructions Wednesday afternoon, the
jurors were excused and were told that deliberations would start
Thursday morning.
Mosby decided not to take the stand in her own defense in the trial,
fearing prosecutors would ask damaging questions about her tax
records and her credibility.
The government alleges the former Baltimore City state's attorney
lied about suffering business losses because of COVID-19 to get
penalty-free withdrawals from her retirement account.
She used the money to buy vacation homes in Florida.
Much of the government's case focuses on financial records
surrounding Mosby's Mahogany Elite travel operation, which the
state's attorney herself acknowledged made no money and had no
clients.
"We should not allow Ms. Mosby to lie under oath because of her
position," Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron Zelinsky told jurors in his
closing argument.
"When the world was suffering the effects of COVID, Ms. Mosby took
advantage of the situation," he said.
Of Mosby's travel business, Zelinsky said,"Ms. Mosby never had any
plans to open or operate Mahogany Elite." And noted, "Mahogany Elite
has no business cards, no letterhead, no notes, no business plan."
Zelinsky said the trips she deducted on her taxes for Mahogany Elite
were personal vacations including roughly $800 a night at a resort
in Cancun.
She is not charged with any tax fraud.
Mosby's public defender Jim Wyda began by telling the jury, "This
case is about a three-page form and what was in Marilyn Mosby's mind
when she filled it out."
He added, "Marilyn Mosby is innocent."
He stressed she registered her business with the state. "The
government is attacking Ms. Mosby for her expenses. This all turns
on if you believe Mahogany Elite is real," he said.
He then played this call with Mosby and her retirement plan
representative where she asked about the guidelines for a
withdrawal.
Wyda told jurors, "Ms. Mosby acted consistent with the limited
guidance available, and she did not intentionally lie."
He said, "She did the best she could. …This is only evidence of a
mother trying to do the best she can for her family."
Wyda said there is no evidence of a bad motive, "These are not the
actions of a greedy, lying thief. These are the actions of someone
acting responsibly."
U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland Erek Barron issued a
statement following the verdict.
"We respect the jury's verdict and remain steadfastly committed to
our mission to uphold the rule of law, keep our country safe,
protect the civil rights of all Americans, and safeguard public
property," Barron said.
