BALTIMORE — As Baltimore’s former top prosecutor Marilyn Mosby prepares to face perjury and mortgage fraud charges, her entire defense team requested Thursday to withdraw from the case.
The motion - filed on behalf of her six private lawyers - came after a series of rulings earlier this week created significant hurdles for them, including the possibility of criminal contempt charges against her lead attorney, A. Scott Bolden.
Four of the lawyers, who work at Bolden’s law firm, said they could no longer represent Mosby because of a conflict, while the remaining two said they don’t have the time and resources to take over the defense alone.
