Nov 9 (Reuters) - Baltimore's former top prosecutor Marilyn Mosby was found guilty of perjury on Thursday for falsely claiming financial duress to withdraw funds from a retirement plan.
A U.S. District Court jury in Greenbelt, Maryland, convicted Mosby, 42, on both federal perjury counts she faced after hours of deliberation.
Mosby, a Democrat, lost her bid for a third term after she was indicted on federal charges in January 2022.
Mosby's defense team argued in court that she did not lie in stating financial hardship because her private travel business took a hit during the pandemic.
None of the six officers charged in his death was convicted.
