FORMER BALTIMORE PROSECUTOR MARILYN MOSBY FOUND GUILTY OF 1 COUNT OF MORTGAGE FRAUD
A jury in February found Mosby not guilty on a second mortgage fraud charge.
Mosby argued that she was the target of a politically and racially motivated prosecution under the Trump administration, and she has asked President Biden to pardon her.
"While pardon applications generally express remorse and regret, what happens when justice was not served and in fact, denied? No such remorse and regret is appropriate in this case," Mosby's pardon application states, according to The Associated Press.

Her campaign for clemency has been supported by the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP.
Mosby rose to national prominence in 2015 after she charged six police officers in relation to the death of Freddie Gray.
