Marilyn Mosby has turned the first two months of her home detention into a period of active pardon seeking and what she describes as joyful partying.

Just this week Baltimore’s former state’s attorney, convicted of perjury and mortgage fraud charges by two federal juries, sent out Instagram pictures of herself at an August 24 party in Howard County.

“Let’s celebrate Marilyn Mosby and the hard working team,” says the online invite.

A video shows her posing with friends outside a Clarksville house where a stage was set up and band performed, about 25 miles from the Fells Point apartment where she is supposed to be confined.

Included is a closeup of the electronic ankle monitor she is required to wear by U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby, who opted to sentence Mosby to 12 months of home detention, rather than 20 months in prison as recommended by federal prosecutors, because of concern for the well-being of her teenage daughters.

According to the home detention order, Mosby “is restricted to her residence at all times except for employment, education, religious services, medical treatment, substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment, court-ordered obligations, child care or other activities approved by the probation officer.”

Rachel Snyder, listed in court records as Mosby’s probation officer, did not return repeated phone calls seeking comment.

Mosby and her public defender attorney, James Wyda, also did not respond to questions about whether Baltimore’s ex-top prosecutor was granted permission to attend the party and, if so, on what grounds.

The U.S. District Court docket has no record of a request by Mosby to change the conditions of her home detention.

The Maryland U.S. Attorney’s Office, which prosecuted the case, declined to say whether it was aware of her Instagram video.

Earlier this month, Mosby appealed her felony convictions to the 4th U.S. Court of Appeals, while stepping up her online campaign – Justice for Marilyn Mosby – to win a full pardon from President Joe Biden or, more recently, from Vice President Kamala Harris if she wins the presidential election in November.

While her appeal of the two federal convictions is pending, Mosby can keep her law license, the Supreme Court of Maryland ruled in July. (The Maryland Attorney Grievance Commission’s bar counsel had requested suspension.)

Mosby thanked her supporters as she posted scenes from the party.

“Joy is the simplest form of gratitude,” she wrote, quoting theologian Karl Barth.

Before she was sentenced to home detention starting on June 20, her attorney persuaded Judge Griggsby to permit Mosby “access and use of the communal areas and amenities” of her apartment building so that she can “more effectively spend time with her daughters when they visit her.”

Recently, Mosby staged a “sweet 16” party for her eldest daughter, which gathered together a number of her political allies in the building’s 12,000-square-foot clubhouse equipped with a bar, billiard table, lounge, private screening room and fitness center.

Among the attendees were former state delegate Bilal Ali, Black Girls Vote founder Nykidra Robinson, and ex-state’s attorney’s office spokeswoman Melba Saunders.

Also at the event: her ex-husband Nick Mosby, president of the Baltimore City Council.

A few days later, Mosby sent out a video of her singing “Doin’ Just Fine” by Boyzs II Men with her daughters.
