He was buried seven years ago, but the grandfather of Baltimore State\u2019s Attorney Marilyn Mosby apparently lives on as a source of campaign cash for her and her husband, City Council President Nick Mosby.<\/p>\n
Prescott Thompson, who died on February 22, 2015 at age 82, is listed as contributing $500 to Marilyn Mosby last year, according to her most recent finance report to the State Board of Elections.<\/p>\n
The $500 check was reported as received on November 30, 2021 by Friends of Marilyn Mosby.<\/p>\n
As chairman of the Friends committee, Marilyn Mosby vouched, under the penalty of perjury, for the report\u2019s accuracy \u201cto the best of my knowledge, information and belief.\u201d<\/p>\n
The report was filed on January 19, 2022, or six days after she was indicted on federal charges linked to her purchase of two Florida vacation homes.<\/p>\n
Mosby has pleaded not guilty to the charges.<\/p>\n
She did not respond to questions by The Brew about the Prescott Thompson contribution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Imagine that.<\/p>\n
The Mosby finance report lists the deceased Thompson as living at the same Dorchester, Massachusetts, house where he and his surviving widow, Marilyn Thompson, raised Baltimore\u2019s future chief prosecutor.<\/p>\n
Thompson is listed as \u201cretired\u201d in Mosby\u2019s campaign report.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Hey, look, I’m retired (or mostly retired; I teach law part-time), but, at least as of this writing, not dead yet.<\/p>\n
