A U.S. District Court judge has raised the question of whether Marilyn Mosby’s claim to have been hired fulltime by a church-based nonprofit in California “is lawful or legitimate.”

In an order filed this morning, Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby noted that Baltimore’s former state’s attorney – now serving a one-year sentence of home detention following her conviction on perjury and mortgage fraud charges – “has not provided. . . proof of income related to her new position.”

“Given this, the defendant will need to take additional steps to address and resolve this concern with her probation officer,” Griggsby said, pointing out that the standard conditions of home detention requires a defendant to “work fulltime at a lawful type of employment.”

In an apparent crackdown on Mosby’s extensive freedom of movement while confined to home detention, the judge also pointed to “a noticeable decline in the defendant’s adjustment to supervision since August 30, 2024.”

Griggsby also cited Mosby’s recent failure to report in advance a schedule change, which resulted in a 12A Offender Report by U.S. Probation Officer Rachel Snyder detailing Mosby’s violation of the conditions of her detention.

Lack of Cooperation

As a result, Griggsby denied, for the second time, Mosby’s request to be released from detention between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m., including weekends, to attend meetings and travel for her new job.

The ruling follows reporting by The Brew of Mosby’s out-of-town travels – which were approved by the court – and her claim to have been hired as “director of global strategic planning” by an unnamed California nonprofit.

Griggsby today confirmed The Brew’s identity of her purported employer – God’s Love Outreach Ministries Inc. (G.L.O.M. Global) of Livermore, CA.

“The defendant’s decline in adjustment to supervision is concerning to this Court”  – Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby.

Mosby has told the court that her new job requires her to travel on a routine basis throughout the District of Maryland for “on-site visitation to current and prospective facilities” and to “drive strategic partnerships with state, local and communal stakeholders.”

The Brew pointed out that G.L.O.M. currently has no facilities in Maryland (but recently incorporated as an out-of-state corporation) and that its finances are shaky, with a reported negative net worth of $3 million and a history of lawsuits for nonpayment of rent.

The organization has yet to officially announce Mosby’s position.

Its CEO, Rev. Allen S. Turner, refused to either confirm or deny Mosby’s employment before he hung up on The Brew on October 16.

Griggsby noted that since starting at her position, Mosby has requested only one four-hour block of leave from home detention, “which was approved by her probation officer without issue.”

“The facts currently before the Court simply do not show that the defendant is unable to effectively perform her new job without the requested modification” to daytime release from detention, Griggsby wrote.

At the same time, the judge said, “the defendant’s decline in adjustment to supervision is concerning to this Court.”

Last month, Snyder complained that Mosby was not in direct contact with the probation office as requested, instead going through her public defender attorneys.

Both Snyder and the Maryland U.S. Attorney’s Office, which prosecuted Mosby, oppose her request for modification of her detention conditions.

“Should the defendant’s compliance with supervision improve and her new position and duties become more clearly defined, the requested modification may be appropriate in the future,” Griggsby concluded.

Mosby did not respond to a request for comment.
