A federal judge has sentenced Baltimore’s former top prosecutor Marilyn Mosby to time served and 12 months of home confinement – to be served concurrently with 3 years of supervised release – for mortgage fraud and perjury, according to a reporter with CNN affiliate WBAL-TV who was in court Thursday. Mosby, who gained national prominence for charging six police officers in connection with the 2015 death of Freddie Gray in a police van, was convicted in two trials of making a false mortgage application and perjury. She did not speak before her sentence was delivered, according to WBAL-TV. US prosecutors had asked the court to sentence Mosby, 44, to 20 months in prison, followed by a supervised release, according to a May 9 sentencing memorandum. That sentence, the memo says, would “make clear that those who break the law, including those in positions of public trust, will be held accountable.” Mosby has claimed she is innocent and the charges against her politically motivated. Her attorneys argued in a May 16 response she “has been punished enough,” asking for a sentence of time served with one year of supervised release. US District Court Judge Lydia Griggsby said she took into account that two juries found Mosby did something wrong and “breached a public trust,” according to WBAL-TV. The judge also said the fact that Mosby is a mother of two weighed heavily on the court, according to the news station.
