Fraudster ex-Baltimore DA Marilyn Mosby avoids prison for mortgage fraud and is sentenced to time served with home confinement
This is a breaking news story
The corrupt former DA of Baltimore has avoided jail fort mortgage fraud after the Biden-appointed judge overseeing the case said she should be at home with her daughters.
Marilyn Mosby was facing a possible 40-year prison sentence after lying on her mortgage application for a $428,000 home in Long Boat Key, Florida, including the false claim she received a $5,000 gift from her husband.
Prosecutors said she claimed to receive the $5,000 to secure a lower interest rate, while she actually sent the funds to her husband first for him to then send back in a financial sleight of hand.
Mosby has asked for a Presidential pardon as she maintained her innocence but was sentenced to 12 months of home detention and three years of supervised release.

Speaking outside court afterwards she thanked her supporters, adding: 'I swear, God sent angels into my life to see me when I felt like I wasn't being seen, and I'm just so grateful to each and every one of you.
'God has touched the heart of this judge and allowed me to go home to my babies.'
