A Baltimore State Attorney facing a $1million perjury lawsuit for fudging financial numbers while taking out a loan for a pair of holiday home purchases in Florida has tried to get the case thrown out, claiming she's being targeted due to the fact that she's black and progressive.
In their most recent filing in the federal case, attorneys for Marilyn Mosby, 42 - who is charged with two counts of perjury and two counts of submitting false statements on loan applications to make the purchases, which amounted to $1.02million - accused federal prosecutors of having a personal vendetta against their client, claiming one of the legal eagles even spread rumors she cheated on her husband.
'Since its inception, the prosecution against State’s Attorney Mosby has been driven by malicious personal, political, and even racial animus on the part of the prosecutors,' Mosby’s attorneys wrote in motion to toss the case filed Friday.
The city official's legal team characterized their client's indictment as the culmination of a 'crusade to ruin the political career of a young, progressive, Black, female elected official.'
The lawyers specifically accused the prosecution's head lawyer, Erek Barron, of 'prosecutorial vindictiveness,' saying the fellow Baltimore State Attorney - who is also black - has 'expressed disapproval of her both personally and professionally.'

Mosby allegedly falsely claimed she was facing COVID-related financial troubles to use her city retirement fund to help her buy a property in Kissimmee. She was also accused of claiming this home was a second residence in order to get a lower interest rate
Mosby and her team asserted that no such occurrence ever transpired.

The liar is being targeted for being a perjurer.
Woke and black= racist and crooked
Marilyn, you are a trained lawyer. Are you telling me that is the best defense argument you can cobble together?
They ought to revoke your law license, just for that!
Stand up. Be a woman and take your medicine!
It’s a popular defense in these times.
People shouldn’t be targeted because they are black. However wokesters..... full steam ahead.
No, you’re being targeted because you’re a criminal. Take responsibility for your criminal actions.
Quality of people IS quality of society
It’s not because you’re woke and black, Mosby, it’s because you’re a freakin’ CRIMINAL!
Let me know if you want on/off this list.....
Mosby is a bum.
Makes you wonder how she ever got out of law school. Well, maybe being “woke and black” helped.
Woke and Black...
Yeah, oh yeah, unhuh...
That’s definitely it...
Wink!
When shown to be lying play the race card.
Imagine a world where when you doing something wrong or against the law, all you do is reach in your back pocket (or pockets in general) or purse and pull out your very own race card. Oh wait..... /s
