U.S. District Court Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby ordered Wednesday afternoon a postponement of Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s upcoming perjury and mortgage fraud trial due to a delayed disclosure on expert testimony.
Her trial was scheduled to begin Monday after jury selection on Thursday, and the postponement comes after the defense failed to disclose the details of its expert witness testimony by Griggsby’s mandated July 1 deadline. Mosby’s lawyers sent its last disclosure, at Griggsby’s direction, to prosecutors late Friday night.
Lawyers for Mosby opposed the postponement, describing federal prosecutors as hypocrites for raising a delay as a remedy for legal debates in the case.
