The NAACP and other civil rights organizations have called on President Biden to pardon Marilyn Mosby, the former state’s attorney for Baltimore. Mosby is facing charges of perjury and mortgage fraud, which carry a potential sentence of up to 40 years. However, she claims that the charges against her are related to her social justice work. In a recent court filing, Mosby’s lawyers challenged the sentencing guidelines in her mortgage fraud case. Mosby gained national attention in 2015 when she charged six police officers in connection with the death of Freddie Gray. Federal prosecutors argue that Mosby has shown no remorse or contrition. The NAACP President & CEO has accused dark forces of seeking to tear down powerful Black women. The White House has not yet indicated its stance on the pardon request, citing a need to avoid tipping the scales of justice.
