In their case against Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby, federal prosecutors are requesting that the trial either be postponed or witness evidence be excluded.
According to FOX 45, the prosecution want the court to either exclude witness evidence or postpone the trial so they may locate expert witnesses they can persuade to testify.
Mosby has been accused of falsifying mortgage paperwork in order to purchase two vacation houses, leading to charges of perjury and creating fake mortgage applications.
To the four-count indictment, the state's attorney for Baltimore entered a not guilty plea. According to the accusation, Mosby used the COVID-19 pandemic’s “adverse financial consequences" as justification to take $90,000 out of a municipal retirement account.
It is claimed that Mosby used the funds to make down payments on Florida vacation houses.
Although Mosby purportedly claimed the epidemic had “adverse financial consequences," his pay actually climbed. She earned $141,450 in 2019, and $151,268 the following year.
According to the newspaper, Jerome Schmitt and Eric Forster will be called as witnesses by Mosby's lawyers. According to the prosecution, Forster will testify that Mosby maintained control over the property in Kissimmee, Florida, and Schmitt will speak about the detrimental effects of COVID-19 on the tourist sector.
Although the defence claims to have told them about the testimony before July 1, the prosecution claims that they were just made aware of it on September 9.
In July, former Baltimore prosecutor and defence lawyer Ivan Bates defeated Mosby in the Democratic primary for re-election.
