BALTIMORE SUN — It is a familiar scene, a public official at the lectern the day after being indicted or otherwise landing in trouble. But when Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby took to the microphone to defend herself against federal perjury charges, the scene played out in less-familiar fashion.
There was no spouse standing behind her, an absence all the more eyebrow-raising given that Mosby’s husband is himself a top officeholder, Democratic City Council President Nick Mosby.
Publicly silent since Thursday, when prosecutors charged his wife with perjury and false statements to withdraw early from a retirement fund and apply for mortgages to buy homes in Florida, Nick Mosby posted supportive messages Friday on his Instagram account. On Sunday, he joined her at Empowerment Temple AME church, where the pastor preached in her support. But he did not speak, nor has he made any public statements about the case nor returned calls from The Baltimore Sun.
