Legal analyst weighs in on Marilyn Mosby's sentencing

Published 2024-05-24
Former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby will not serve jail time, following a sentence by a federal judge Thursday.

Mosby was sentenced to 12 months of home detention and three years of supervised release, both to be served concurrently, plus 100 hours of community service.

"Most people that get convicted of federal felony crimes go to prison, and certainly after they go to trial and deny it in testimony as to the second trial, and then they get convicted," said Andrew Alperstein, a criminal defense attorney for Alperstein & Diener. "But let's make no mistake about it, there has been some real consequences for her. She's lost her job, the voters fired her, she is likely to lose her law license, she's had a massive financial loss to her property and socially, I mean, she's really taken a tremendous hit, reputation wise."

Alperstein tells 11 News Mosby will be under some kind of electronic monitoring while serving her home confinement term. She'll likely have an anklet, a watch device or possibly be tracked through a cell phone.
