Story

Marilyn Mosby is fighting to prevent the government from selling her Florida condo, which she claims is her primary asset. Her lawyers argue that the forfeiture of the condo, valued at over $900,000, is excessive punishment for the $5,000 gift letter she used to obtain the mortgage. Mosby, a former Baltimore City State's Attorney, is appealing her convictions on mortgage fraud and perjury and remains on home detention. She maintains her innocence and claims the charges were part of a "federal witch hunt." Prosecutors argue that Mosby should not profit from her crimes and accuse her of failing to pay condo fees. The FBI has emphasized the importance of trust in elected officials, and under the current forfeiture order, Mosby will only receive a portion of the condo's value. Recently, the trial judge modified Mosby's home detention order to allow her to use common areas in her apartment complex.
