Marilyn Mosby, the former Baltimore City State's Attorney, has filed motions in her ongoing perjury trial, aiming to prevent questions related to a mortgage fraud case from being presented as evidence.
The motions come as Mosby faces charges of perjury and making false statements regarding her financial dealings. The prosecution is expected to reference the mortgage fraud allegations during the trial, which Mosby argues is irrelevant to the charges she currently faces.
Mosby’s legal team contends that the introduction of such evidence would not only be prejudicial but also distract from the core issues at hand. The defense is focused on ensuring that the jury's attention remains on the specific allegations of perjury without the influence of unrelated accusations.
The trial is set to proceed with pre-trial motions being addressed in the coming weeks. Mosby has maintained her innocence, asserting that the charges are politically motivated.
