Marilyn Mosby processed at Baltimore federal court
Indicted Baltimore prosecutor scheduled for court appearance Friday
February 2, 2022
Baltimore's City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby spent Wednesday morning at the federal courthouse, where 11 News was told she was processed ahead of her initial appearance in court on Friday.
Mosby reiterated her desire for a speedy trial ahead of her re-election campaign.
"We are four months from my election," Mosby said outside the courthouse. She said city residents "deserve for this to be over."
Sources told 11 News Mosby was "processed" Wednesday morning and "had her picture taken."
On Tuesday night, Mosby and her attorney, A. Scott Bolden, appeared on MSNBC's "The Reid Out," during which host Joy Reid asked Mosby specifically about the two perjury counts against her and about the two charges of false mortgage application statements.
Mosby said the charges are politically motivated and that one of the prosecutors on the case has donated to her political opponent.
"At the end of the day, and again I'll refer to my attorney, there (are) ulterior motives for something like this, for an attack like this," Mosby said.
"If I may, when you bring an indictment four months before an election, when you don't sit down with the defense and tell them what you're looking for, you're not trying to find justice or truth. You're trying to affect an outcome of her re-election effort," Bolden said.
Mosby said that since the announcement of the indictment, she has been mocked and ridiculed and she has received hate mail and death threats. Despite that, she said she's ready to prove her innocence in a court of law.
"I have fought Donald Trump, against William Barr, I've been through it all. I am built for this, Joy, and I'm ready to fight, and let's get to the election because that is what this is all about," Mosby said.
Mosby will have an initial appearance Friday in federal court.
