Former Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby was sentenced Thursday to one year of home detention for perjury and mortgage fraud, with the judge also ordering her to forfeit her Florida condo.

U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby spared Mosby from prison, as prosecutors and sentencing guidelines called for, choosing instead to impose a punishment of three years of supervised release. Griggsby also ruled that Mosby has to complete 100 hours of community service while on probation.

Mosby’s supporters cheered in the courtroom when Griggsby announced the sentence as the former prosecutor dabbed at her eyes with a tissue.

“The court agrees these are very serious offenses and that this conduct displays a pattern of dishonesty,” Griggsby told Mosby. “This dishonesty also occurred when you held the highest office for a prosecutor in the City of Baltimore.”
