In a stunning fall, Baltimore’s onetime top prosecutor, who made a national name for herself with her unsuccessful prosecution of six police officers in the notorious case surrounding the death of Freddie Gray, is now awaiting sentencing herself and could face up to 30 years in prison for mortgage fraud. 

The two-term district attorney, Marilyn Mosby, who was on the vanguard of liberal prosecutors who took a permissive approach to lower-level offenses, found herself in a long and emotional criminal trial over her mortgage applications for two vacation homes in Florida. In a split verdict, the jury found Mosby guilty of one count of mortgage fraud for her Longboat Key property, while finding her not guilty on a second count related to the second house, which is situated near Disney World.
