Former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby went out partying with friends, supporters and family members at an event located a few miles from her home in Baltimore over the weekend despite being ordered by a judge to serve a year in prison.
Mosby was convicted on one count of mortgage fraud in February after he testified that he knowingly made false statements on loan applications to buy two Florida vacation homes.
In November, he was convicted of two counts of perjury by a federal jury after he falsely claimed financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic to withdraw money from the city’s pension fund.
A judge sentenced Mosby to a year of house arrest and three years of supervised release in May.
Mosby posted a video on Instagram on Thursday with family and friends at a “thank you barbecue” in Clarksville, Maryland.
In a video slideshow, Mosby is seen wearing an ankle monitor.
Court-ordered house arrest requires Mosby to remain confined to her Fells Point home as well as the communal areas of her apartment complex, according to FOX 45 in Baltimore.
They are also allowed to leave home for doctor’s appointments, court dates, childcare responsibilities, employment-related reasons and to meet with the legal team.
Outbound travel for these reasons must be approved in advance.
When it comes to employment or child care requests, the station learned from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland that former prosecutors don’t have to consult with the government beforehand.
Fox News Digital has reached out to US Attorney Erek Barron’s office for confirmation and clarification on the matter.
The station added that the online federal court system did not show anything that Mosby or his team filed for permission to attend the barbecue in Howard County.
Last week, Mosby’s legal team filed a brief with a federal appeals court to clear his name while asking the court to find defects in two trials in which he was convicted of perjury and mortgage fraud.
In a court filing first reported by the Baltimore Sun and obtained by Fox News Digital, Mosby said the conviction was the result of a prosecution that was “ill-advised and ill-considered from the start.”
Mosby said he was unfairly targeted during the investigation, although the brief did not say he was the victim of racial or political prosecution.
Federal prosecutors filed criminal charges against Mosby after allegations that she used pandemic-related hardship to withdraw money from her retirement account and then used the money as down payments on two Florida properties.
Prosecutors also said he repeatedly lied on mortgage applications.
While Mosby’s mortgage fraud trial was scheduled to take place in Baltimore, it was eventually moved to Greenbelt, Maryland, out of concern that potential jurors might be biased by media coverage of the case.
After the trial began, both Mosby and her ex-husband, Baltimore City Council President Nick Mosby, testified, with the latter saying she lied about her federal tax debt because she was embarrassed.
Mosby told the court that he did not knowingly make false statements and signed the loan application in good faith.
But she failed to disclose the debt on her application which contributed to the mortgage fraud charges.
Prosecutors alleged during the trial that Mosby lied about receiving a $5,000 gift from her then-wife, which helped her get a lower interest rate.
The gift led to a conviction, as prosecutors traced him to the account.
