BALTIMORE — In a social media post on Inauguration Day, supporters of former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby said they were disappointed that she did not receive a presidential pardon.
“While we’re deeply disappointed that Marilyn Mosby did not receive a pardon, this fight is far from over. Justice is a journey, and we remain committed to standing by her and amplifying her truth,” the group, Justice for Marilyn Mosby said in the social media post. “Thank you to the 97,000+ people who stood with us in the fight for JUSTICE —for a mother, an advocate, and a true champion for her community.”
Mosby was sentenced in May 2024 to three years of supervised release and 12 months of home confinement after she was convicted of perjury and mortgage fraud.
The NAACP, Bernice King, the daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., and others advocated for Mosby to be pardoned – claiming Mosby was unfairly targeted and unjustly convicted.
In December 2024, former President Biden pardoned 39 people convicted of nonviolent crimes and commuted the sentences of 1,500 others.
Biden declared on Inauguration Day that he would be preemptively pardoning several individuals who could be targeted with President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House. This group included members of his family, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark A. Milley, and members of the House Jan. 6 committee and their staff.
Supporters of Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby were left disappointed and frustrated after President Biden’s recent pardons did not include her name. Mosby, who has been a vocal advocate for criminal justice reform and has faced backlash for her progressive policies, was widely believed to be a strong candidate for a presidential pardon.
Many of Mosby’s supporters had been hopeful that President Biden would recognize her contributions to the fight for justice and grant her a pardon. However, their hopes were dashed when the list of pardons was released and Mosby’s name was noticeably absent.
The omission of Mosby from the pardons has sparked outrage among her supporters, with many taking to social media to express their disappointment and call for justice. They believe that Mosby’s exclusion is a clear injustice and a missed opportunity to show support for a dedicated public servant who has worked tirelessly to reform the criminal justice system.
Despite the disappointment, Mosby’s supporters have vowed to continue to stand by her side and support her in her efforts to bring about positive change in the criminal justice system. They remain hopeful that justice will prevail and that Mosby will eventually receive the recognition and support she deserves.
