BALTIMORE — The long awaited federal perjury trial of former Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby just got delayed a third time.

On Friday prosecutors and Mosby's newly court appointed public defender filed a joint status report, indicating the case would be pushed back to June 6 at the earliest.

This latest setback comes a week after the judge allowed Mosby's entire six-member defense team to withdraw from the case over potential conflicts of interest.

Now the public defender taking their place, James Wyda, says he needs time to brush up on the case and prepare for trial.

The trial had previously been scheduled for March 27. Both sides are scheduled for a telephone conference on February 10 at 11am.

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.
