A federal appeals court on Friday overturned former Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s mortgage fraud conviction, but rejected her attempt to challenge guilty verdicts for perjury.

Mosby, 45, 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 sentenced Mosby, a Democrat who served two terms from 2015 to 2023 as the city’s top prosecutor, to three years of supervised release, with one year on home detention, and ordered her to perform 100 hours of community service.

She appealed her convictions to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit.

In the 2-1 decision, Circuit Judge Stephanie D. Thacker wrote for the majority that Griggsby gave an instruction to the jury in the mortgage fraud case that was “erroneously overbroad.”

“In rendering this disposition, we emphasize that our holding is cabined to the unique circumstances of this case,” Thacker wrote in the 34-page opinion.

Circuit Judge Paul V. Niemeyer issued a 14-page opinion in which he in part concurred and dissented.

Kevin Nash, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, declined to comment.

Mosby’s lead attorney, Federal Public Defender James Wyda, also declined to comment.

In 2020, Mosby twice certified, under penalty of perjury on a form, that she had experienced adverse financial consequences in order to withdraw a total of $90,000 from a retirement account.

She was able to pull out that money using a provision in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, and otherwise would not have been able to access the funds.

Mosby then used the money to buy a home in Kissimmee, Florida, and a condominium in Longboat Key, Florida.

A jury concluded that she lied on those forms. And a separate jury determined that she submitted a letter to the mortgage company that falsely claimed that her husband at the time, Nick Mosby, had agreed to gift her $5,000 at closing for the condo.

They’ve since divorced.

Griggsby ruled that Mosby had to forfeit the condo, but the panel of three judges also overturned that decision.

Even before she was sentenced, Mosby publicly pushed for a pardon, making appearances on podcasts and cable news shows.

The NAACP and more than a dozen organizations sent a letter that implored then-President Joe Biden to pardon Mosby, describing her case as a “miscarriage of justice and an example of the last administration’s misuse of authority.”

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump and more than 50 other lawyers later joined the drive.

Bernice King, the youngest daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, released a statement in support.

Despite the campaign, Biden did not grant her clemency.

During a recent appearance on “Native Land Pod,” Mosby continued to maintain her innocence.

She also spoke about the challenges that she’s endured.

“Having to fight the federal government, you know, it was very difficult,” Mosby said. “I lost everything.”

Her marriage. Her career. And her house.
