13 Students Suffer Heat-Related Illness at McDonogh School Ceremony

Nick and Marilyn Mosby, once prominent figures in Baltimore City politics, have faced a dramatic fall from grace in recent years, marked by legal troubles and electoral defeats.

Rise and Fall of Marilyn Mosby

Marilyn Mosby rose to prominence in January 2015 as the youngest chief prosecutor in any major American city, unseating incumbent Gregg Bernstein. Her tenure garnered national attention after the death of Freddie Gray, a young Black man who died in police custody. Mosby charged six Baltimore City Police Officers in connection to Gray’s death, though failed to secure convictions, leading to controversy.

Allegations and Investigations

In February 2021, Inspector General Isabel Mercedes Cumming’s investigation revealed troubling findings about Mosby’s activities. Cumming found that Mosby was absent from Baltimore City for 85 days between 2018 and 2019, with unapproved trips and business concerns. The investigation escalated to a federal level, with FBI and IRS involvement.

Legal Battles and Convictions

In January 2022, Marilyn Mosby was federally indicted on four charges, including perjury and mortgage fraud. Despite maintaining her innocence, she faced trials and legal setbacks. Her husband, Nick Mosby, also faced scrutiny, admitting to financial mismanagement during court proceedings.

Electoral Defeats and Uncertain Future

In July 2022, Marilyn Mosby lost re-election, and in February 2024, Nick Mosby failed in his bid for re-election to the Baltimore City Council. The future of both their political careers remains uncertain, as Marilyn faces potential prison time and Nick grapples with electoral defeat.

Legal Consequences and Sentencing

Marilyn Mosby’s legal battles continue, with federal prosecutors seeking prison time and asset seizure. While her legal team advocates for probation, her law license hangs in the balance.

The downfall of the Mosbys serves as a cautionary tale of the intersection of power, politics, and legal scrutiny.
