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][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 reelected in 2018 but lost her 2022 reelection campaign to Ivan Bates, following her January 2022 indictment by a federal grand jury on perjury and mortgage fraud charges.[5] The charges against Mosby stemmed from allegations that she had withdrawn money from a program designed to help people financially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] Mosby denied any wrongdoing,[7] and pled not guilty to the charges, but was convicted on two counts of perjury on November 9, 2023,[8] and on one count of mortgage fraud on February 6, 2024.[9]
