Board approves compensation for man wrongfully convicted CATHERINE SCOTT of Capital News Service April 21, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail After serving 19 years in prison after being wrongfully convicted of attempted murder, a man was awarded more than $1.6 million in compensation from the state of Maryland. The Board of Public Works voted unanimously Wednesday to approve funding for Melvin Thomas, now 40, who spent close to half his life in prison and was exonerated in December for an attempted murder charge dating to 2001. “For all Marylanders who have been imprisoned wrongfully, Mr. Thomas is a victim of a broken criminal justice system that continues to plague the country,” Comptroller Peter Franchot, D, said at the meeting Wednesday. “Although no dollar amount can restore what was taken from him, I assume that today’s action will bring some solace.”

Baltimore s Rogue DA Mosby Faces Probes of Official Duties, Travel, Gifts

It’s been a lousy spring for Marilyn Mosby, Baltimore’s rogue prosecutor. First, the IRS placed a tax lien for $45,000 on her house for three years of unpaid taxes. Second, Baltimore’s Office of the Inspector General conducted a wide-ranging investigation into her activist-sponsored travel, accounting irregularities, and unorthodox gift-acceptance practices, and issued a written report critical of her actions. When Mosby criticized the inspector general’s report, the Office of the Inspector General didn’t back down, and wrote that it “stands behind its report.” Third, the U.S. attorney for the District of Maryland launched a wide-ranging investigation into Mosby’s campaign-finance irregularities and related federal tax issues.
