Ever since U.S. District Court Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby handed down a truly lenient sentence to Marilyn Mosby for the crimes she committed, Mosby has sought on several occasions to get her sentence overturned or reduced in one fashion or another. Her latest attempt was recently outlined in your paper (“Marilyn Mosby seeks permission to travel to Texas for business trip,” Dec. 11).
Federal Public Defender James Wyda has filed motion after motion with the court to allow Mosby to travel in conjunction with her new job, whatever that may be. Isn’t “work from home” a very normal and satisfactory way of conducting business in this day and age? Why does Wyda continue to litter the court with motion requests? And why is he even representing Mosby? Do you mean to tell me that she does not have the financial wherewithal to hire private counsel?
In addition to all the motions filed with the court, Mosby recently formally requested President Joe Biden to pardon her. Will this saga ever end? Is a one-year sentence of home detention so oppressive and onerous that such measures need to be taken?
