ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Marilyn Mosby, a high-profile prosecutor who aligned herself with criminal justice reformers but ended up with legal problems of her own, has lost the Democratic primary for Baltimore state’s attorney to Ivan Bates, a defense attorney.
Baltimore is heavily Democratic, and there is no Republican candidate in the race. Roya Hanna is an unaffiliated candidate who has filed to run in November’s general election.
Mosby, who was a two-term incumbent, rose to national prominence in 2015 when she pursued criminal charges against six police officers in the death of Freddie Gray, a Black man who suffered a spinal injury after police handcuffed, shackled and placed him headfirst into a van. His death triggered riots and protests. None of the officers was convicted.
In January, a grand jury indicted Mosby on two counts each of perjury and making a false statement on a loan application in purchasing a home in Kissimmee, Florida, and a condominium in Long Boat Key, Florida. She has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The indictment accuses Mosby of falsely stating that the COVID-19 pandemic harmed her finances so she could withdraw $90,000 from her city retirement account. Mosby’s gross salary in 2020 was over $247,000 and never was reduced, according to the indictment.

Has she played the race card yet?
I can imagine she is ecstatic and happy,
Good riddance. Now on to prison for her.
Of course it’s Baltimore so nothing will really change.
She has the sads meaning sad not sudden death
So, when will she be Governor?
These commies are like blow flies, you can't figure out where their coming from, and you just can't seem to get rid of them..
Typical GOP bull$hit. Don't even attempt to put up a fight.
Ah, yes, I remember this - a white woman protestor was shown on screen saying the system was "racist to its core!" when a black judge dismissed charges against officers, some of whom were themselves black.
I would never live somewhere that is so one partied (Democrats). No Republicans to run? Tells me its a rats nest and not where I want to be.
Hey, GOP put someone there, to run. I guess the Baltimore GOP meets at the local telephone booth...If there is more than 2 people...
They sound an awful lot like the New York State Republican Party.
This is the face of a miserable human being, who has a chip on her shoulder. She is not a prosecutor to serve, she is there to get even. It is exactly why the grievance crowd is not ready for positions of authority. They can not see beyond the color of their own skin, sexual preference, or gender.
“a grand jury indicted Mosby on two counts each of perjury”
Sorry Marilyn, three counts and I think you might have won.
A shame...a darn shame.
That’s a shame.
Good riddance to the racist, soros witch
Her big behind needs to be indicted.
The Republican Party has plenty of money to burn. They're just gutless wonders. What kind of message does it send, when you don't even attempt to run anyone against a Democrat candidate? By doing nothing, you are admitting defeat without a fight, and that you don't really care about crime in Baltimore. The GOP is good at throwing in the towel. Congressional Republicans gave us unlimited voter fraud on January 6th. It's why after 40+ years, I am no longer a registered Republican.
