“This is a moment. This is your moment,” Mosby said. She didn’t have to say it was also her moment, because that seemed obvious.

Marilyn Mosby
American politician and lawyer (born 1980)
Marilyn Mosby (née James; born January 22, 1980)[1] is an American politician and lawyer who served as the State's Attorney of Baltimore from 2015 to 2023.[2] She was the youngest state prosecutor for any major city in the United States.[3] Mosby gained national attention following the killing of Freddie Gray in 2015, after which she led a highly publicized investigation and unsuccessful murder prosecution of the police officers who arrested and transported Gray.[4]
Mosby was re-elected in 2018 but lost her 2022 reelection campaign to Ivan Bates, following her indictment by federal grand juries for perjury and fraud.[5] The two perjury charges were due to Mosby having financially exploited a COVID-19 pandemic relief program[6] for which she was convicted on November 9, 2023.[7] The fraud case, for which she was convicted on February 6, 2024, was due to mortgage fraud committed when purchasing two Longboat Key, Florida properties.[8]
