Former Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby set forth numerous legal arguments on Monday for why her perjury and mortgage fraud convictions should be overturned, describing the prosecution as “ill-advised and ill-conceived from the beginning.”

Mosby, 44, a Democrat who served two terms as the city’s top prosecutor from 2015 to 2023, was found guilty at separate trials in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt of two counts of perjury as well as one count of making a false statement on a loan application related to her purchase of two luxury vacation homes in Florida.

U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby later sentenced Mosby to three years’ supervised release, with one year on home detention, and ordered her to perform 100 hours of community service.

“This prosecution was ill-advised and ill-conceived from the beginning, and the three convictions and forfeiture order that resulted are infirm,” Mosby’s attorneys wrote in a 59-page brief filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit. “They should all be set aside.”

In the brief, Mosby argues that when she twice checked off a box on a form that she had experienced “adverse financial consequences” due to the COVID-19 pandemic to withdraw $90,000 from a retirement account, that language was “fundamentally ambiguous.” So, she contends, it cannot support convictions for perjury.

The judge, she asserts, failed to exclude evidence about what she did with the money — which was irrelevant to the charges.

Meanwhile, Mosby claims there was insufficient evidence to bring the prosecution for mortgage fraud in Maryland. The judge, she alleges, also gave incorrect instructions to the jury and improperly allowed prosecutors to extensively cross-examine her about the details of her perjury convictions.

She argues that the judge should not have ordered her condominium in Longboat Key, Florida, to be forfeited as well.

Mosby maintains her innocence and has asked President Joe Biden for a pardon.

“I’ve done absolutely nothing wrong, nothing illegal, nothing criminal,” Mosby said on the “The ReidOut” with Joy Reid on MSNBC ahead of her sentencing.

The Maryland Supreme Court has ruled that Mosby will be allowed to continue practicing law while she appeals her convictions.

Federal prosecutors have until Sept. 9 to file their response.
