NAACP Urges Presidential Pardon for Marilyn Mosby, Citing Political Persecution

Civil rights groups claim Mosby's convictions for mortgage fraud and perjury were driven by political motives from the Trump era.

The NAACP and 14 other organizations have requested President Biden to pardon Marilyn Mosby, arguing her legal troubles stem from political retaliation.
Mosby faces up to 40 years in prison following convictions for false mortgage application and perjury related to financial hardships during the pandemic.
The letter to Biden highlights a broader issue of 739 similar cases where individuals were not charged, underscoring potential selective prosecution.
Mosby's case has garnered public support, with an online petition for her pardon receiving 9,000 signatures.
Critics argue that the Biden administration should not continue the alleged unjust practices of the previous administration in handling Mosby's case.
