Marilyn Mosby (née James; born January 22, 1980)[1] is an American politician and lawyer who served as the State's Attorney of Baltimore from 2015 to 2023.[2] She was the youngest state prosecutor for any major city in the United States.[3] Mosby gained national attention following the killing of Freddie Gray in 2015, after which she led a highly publicized investigation and unsuccessful murder prosecution of the police officers who arrested and transported Gray.[4]
Mosby was re-elected in 2018 but lost her 2022 reelection campaign to Ivan Bates, following her indictment by federal grand juries for perjury and fraud.[5] The two perjury charges were due to Mosby having financially exploited a COVID-19 pandemic relief program[6] for which she was convicted on November 9, 2023.[7] The fraud case, for which she was convicted on February 6, 2024, was due to mortgage fraud committed when purchasing two Longboat Key, Florida properties.[8]
