A former Baltimore city prosecutor who was found guilty of mortgage fraud avoided a prison sentence.

The Associated Press reported that former state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby’s was sentenced to 12 months of home confinement, 100 hours of community service and three years of supervised release. Mosby was convicted of lying about her finances when she withdrew $90,000 from Baltimore city’s deferred compensation plan to make down payments on two vacation homes in Florida. She was also convicted for stating $5,000 of her own money was a gift from her then-husband when she was closing on the purchase of a Florida property.

U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby said Mosby showed a “pattern of dishonesty” during her time in public office, but also noted Mosby’s crimes did not involve public funds.

Mosby became a national figure in 2015 when she charged six officers in death of Freddie Gray, which sparked riots across Baltimore. When three of the officers were acquitted, Mosby dropped the charges against the other three.

Civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump told the judge Mosby was being sentenced for a victimless “minor white-collar crime” and suggested she was the victim of selective prosecution, add that the “prosecution of Marilyn Mosby seems intended to send a chilling message to our progressive prosecutors.” he said.

Mosby’s attorneys said they would appeal her conviction and added that she applied for a presidential pardon. The Congressional Black Caucus sent a letter to President Biden backing her pardon request.
