Prosecutors that Try to Prosecute Cops Who Kill Blacks Get Filtered Out: Judge Again Denies Marilyn Mosby’s Request to Limit Her Home Detention for a New Job (charged cops who Murdered Freddie Gray)
/From [HERE] A federal judge again denied a request from Marilyn Mosby to reduce her home detention from 24 hours to nine hours per day.
Citing a new job for a California-based company, attorneys representing the former Baltimore State’s Attorney filed a motion last month for modification of her probation conditions, asking permission to freely leave home from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby, who is a Black judge appointed by President Biden, on Wednesday issued an order denying the request, questioning the validity of Mosby’s alleged new job requirements.
“Ms. Mosby has been unable to provide any information as to what a normal day would look like,” Griggsby wrote. “The United States Probation Office informs the Court that it is currently unable to “confirm [Mosby’s] position is lawful or legitimate.”
Mosby started one year of home detention in June as part of three years of supervised release for perjury and mortgage fraud convictions. Mosby, through her public defenders, told the court she started a new job as the director of global strategic planning with G.L.O.M. Global that requires travel around Maryland on October 1. Griggsby said so far travel has not been an issue.
“The United States Probation Office also informs the Court that, to date, [Mosby] has requested only one four-hour block of employment-related leave, since starting her new position in October, which was approved by her probation officer without issue,” Griggsby wrote.
Mosby filed a similar request to reduce her home detention last month that was denied on Oct. 16. She filed again to modify the conditions on Oct. 29, and that request was denied Tuesday.
Ahead of the second request, a probation officer interviewed Mosby about her new job and its travel requirements, according to court documents, and she said G.L.O.M., which stands for God’s Love Outreach Ministries according to social media posts, oversees four nonprofit agencies. [MORE]
