BALTIMORE — The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected bids by Marilyn Mosby and federal prosecutors for redo hearings after the high court vacated the former Baltimore state’s attorney’s fraud conviction in July.

The appeals court denied the petitions in a brief order handed down Thursday.

Mosby remains convicted of two counts of perjury. In a 2-1 decision this summer, the 4th Circuit threw out Mosby’s conviction in her mortgage fraud case, finding that the trial judge improperly instructed jurors that prosecutors didn’t have to prove the crime itself was committed in Maryland. In the same decision, the court rejected her argument that her perjury charges also should be thrown out.

Mosby, 45, was convicted of the federal offenses in separate trials after leaving her post as Baltimore’s state’s attorney, which she held from 2015 to 2023. She was ultimately sentenced to a year of home detention, which she served until last June.

The perjury convictions stemmed from Mosby’s certification that she experienced a COVID-19 pandemic-related hardship, even though her salary of about $239,000 was not affected, to withdraw retirement funds without penalties. In the second trial, she was convicted of mortgage fraud for using those retirement funds as down payments on two vacation properties in Florida.
