The U.S. Probation Office has submitted a sealed report about the behavior of convicted ex-Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby while on home detention.
A “12A Offender Under Supervision Report,” used to notify the court of alleged probation violations or lack of cooperation, was filed late yesterday with U.S. District Court Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby.
Both the report and a signed order by Griggsby are under seal and not available for public viewing. Court documents, however, indicate the judge has made no modification of the terms of Mosby’s home detention.
The filing follows Mosby’s request to change the terms of her sentence to a nightly curfew, which would permit her to leave her Fells Point apartment between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. daily during the eight months remaining of her one-year home detention sentence.
Convicted of perjury and mortgage fraud charges related to two Florida vacation homes, Mosby is expected to work 30 hours a week and can leave her apartment for employment purposes.
Mosby says her new job, which started October 1, requires her to “travel freely” around the district of Maryland to perform “field work,” including “to travel outside of her residence on weekends, too.”
Griggsby denied the request based on opposition by Probation Officer Rachel Snyder, who said Mosby’s new employment gave rise to “third-party risk concerns” because she would be involved in managing budgets and in striking strategic partnerships with state and local officials.
Mosby’s new employer was not identified in court records.
Last week The Brew reported that she was hired by God’s Love Outreach Ministries Inc. (G.L.O.M.), which operates adult residential facilities and transitional housing in northern California.
The nonprofit filed as a foreign corporation in Maryland on June 24, 2024, and last month its founder and CEO, Rev. Allen S. Turner, posted on social media a picture of himself with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, misidentified as “head leader of Baltimore.”
A Private Event
Moore’s spokesman confirmed that the two men met in Baltimore on September 23, but said it was at “a private event” and would not elaborate on the circumstances.
In court filings, Mosby said she was hired as Director of Global Strategic Planning for a California-based company that “acquires and oversees facilities that provide mental health, substance abuse and transitional housing services to individuals in various locations across the country.”
She said her task is “to facilitate collaboration and drive strategic partnerships with state, local and communal stakeholders” in Maryland and to engage in “routine on-site visitation to current and prospective facilities.”
G.L.O.M. does not appear to operate any facilities outside of northern California.
There is no office for the organization listed in Maryland.
Feuding with Probation Officer
In a recent nine-page memo to Judge Griggsby, Mosby’s court-appointed attorneys have lashed out at Snyder, calling her reasons for opposing Mosby’s request for a nightly curfew “incoherent,” “inexplicable” and “a hodgepodge of disjointed arguments.”
The memo said Snyder is frustrated that Mosby only communicates through her lawyers rather than contacting the probation office directly, has been “vague” about her new job duties, and had not yet taken steps to perform the 100 hours of community service required under her sentence.
“[Snyder] has now directed her to provide a community service site and initiate hours before Probation will consider any future travel requests or modifications,” the memo complained, impeding Mosby’s right to determine when she would perform community service.
“As long as she fulfills this requirement by the end of the [probation] period, she remains in compliance,” the memo argued.
“More importantly, Probation should not use community service as a tool to hinder Ms. Mosby’s ability to fulfill her employment responsibilities,” the memo continued. “Probation never raised this concern previously when it agreed to reduce Ms. Mosby’s home detention (even before Ms. Mosby had any employment prospects), and it should not be a concern now, particularly when Ms. Mosby is just starting a new job.”
Snyder’s response is not in the public record, but is likely to be part of the 12A Report submitted to the court. She has declined to answer questions from the media.
Claiming she is a victim of wrongful prosecution by the Trump administration for her progressive criminal justice policies, Mosby is seeking a pardon from President Joe Biden or from Kamala Harris if she wins in November.
