BALTIMORE — The long awaited federal perjury trial of former Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby will begin November 2, with jury selection taking place on Halloween.

Earlier this month, the case got delayed a third time after the judge allowed Mosby's entire defense team to withdraw due to potential conflicts of interest.

Federal public defender James Wyda now represents Mosby and needed time to brush up on the case.

Mosby is accused of withdrawing $90,000 from her city Deferred Compensation Plan under false pretenses and using it to buy vacation homes in Florida.

Prosecutors say that contradicts any notion that Mosby suffered financial harm during the pandemic, highlighting the $9,000 pay raise she received during that period.
