A mortgage fraud charge against Marilyn Mosby, the former Baltimore state’s attorney, has been dismissed.
A federal jury convicted Mosby of mortgage fraud in 2024 after it found that she submitted a false mortgage application for a home in Florida, the Baltimore Sun reports.
Additionally, in 2023, she was convicted of perjury—related to taking money from the city’s deferred compensation plan. In 2025, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals at Richmond, Virginia, vacated the fraud charge on the basis that it should have been tried in Florida.
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear her appeal earlier this month, and the Maryland U.S. attorney’s office has said it will not retry her, according to CBS News.
Mosby was sentenced to three years of supervised release and served a year of home confinement, according to the Baltimore Sun. Additionally, she will be allowed to keep her Florida home, CBS News reports.
“Despite the attempts to discredit me and dismantle my career, I am still standing. I am deeply grateful to my attorneys for their unwavering advocacy, dedication and commitment to fighting for justice on my behalf,” Mosby said in a statement shared by CBS News.
