Baltimore’s former top prosecutor Marilyn Mosby has applied for a presidential pardon ahead of sentencing on her recent perjury and mortgage fraud convictions. The Congressional Black Caucus has expressed support for her cause, citing claims of political motivation behind the prosecution.
Mosby, who is set to be sentenced next week, has requested probation while prosecutors are seeking 20 months in prison. The letter to President Joe Biden emphasized the importance of ensuring that the justice system is not weaponized to hinder progress towards a more perfect union.
