Baltimore’s Fmr. Top Prosecutor Has Trial Delayed After Entire Legal Team Quits

-

Life for a disgraced Democrat who critics say contributed to 's decline has gone from bad to worse.

Former Baltimore City's State's Attorney made a name for herself, charging six police officers for a litany of crimes, including second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter for the death of .

More recently, Mosby was indicted by a federal grand jury on a perjury charge for falsely claiming financial hardship during COVID-19 and receiving monetary compensation via the CARES Act.

Now, Mosby's case is being delayed.

After her entire defense team quit.

Fox News has more:

Mosby pleaded not guilty last year to the charges, which allege that she falsely claimed a financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic to withdraw $90,000 from her retirement accounts, then used those funds to place down payments on two vacation properties in . 

Despite the claim of financial hardship, prosecutors say that Mosby received her full salary of $247,955.58 in 2020, the same year that she withdrew from her retirement accounts.

Prosecutors also alleged that Mosby lied on mortgage applications by failing to disclose unpaid federal .

Mosby's former lead defense attorney, A. Scott Bolden, quit last month after U.S. District Court Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby threatened to hold him in contempt of court. 

Bolden dropped the race card against the prosecution, accusing prosecutors of harboring racial animosity. He also disclosed confidential conversations with jurors.

In the Freddie Grey case, Baltimore Police department sources told the press that the evidence didn't support at least some of the charges brought against the officers. Famed law professor Alan Dershowitz speculated at the time that Mosby overcharged the officers to please anti-police activists and minimize the likelihood of future riots.

The first officer's trial resulted in a hung jury, being one vote shy of an acquittal on the most serious charge. The second and third officer's trials resulted in acquittals on all charges.

Mosby has since been sued by five of the six officers for malicious persecution.

  1. Still using the race card. Commit crimes but its racist when caught. Hope she loses everything like she did to the police officers. Lies and kissing terrorists butt. What a unamerican idiot.

  2. What everyone is forgetting, is that Mosby is a woman of color, so she deserved to get that COVID money, after all the BLM gals got millions to spend on themselves and they said they deserved the ill-gotten cash also, women of color are above the laws…. right?

  3. The wheels of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. Another corrupt Democratic Socialist operating under the guise of a phony utopia as a trap for uninformed voters!

  4. First you told us her entire defense team quit. Then you told us about the lead attorney’s issues. But you never told us why the entire defense team quit. Exciting headline. Nothing story. Happens too often.

  5. bury her in charges,and make her spend her money defending herself so she is destitute. Look what these communist basta–s did to Roger Stone, or General Flynn< or so many other innocent people.NO MERCY!
