Time travel is a classic movie staple, to the point where you can hardly venture into your neighborhood metroplex without seeing someone in a rush to get to the past or the future. In The Terminator, Skynet sent a Cyberdine Systems Model 101 (aka the T-800, aka Arnold Schwarzenegger) into the past to kill John Connor’s mother. In Back to the Future Part II, Marty McFly drives his DeLorean 30 years ahead to save his son from sabotaging his family’s future. And in Avengers: Endgame, the gang goes back to 2012 New York to steal the Time Stone, Mind Stone, and Space Stone to keep Thanos from snapping his finger and exterminating half of all life in the universe.
Former Baltimore City prosecutor Marilyn Mosby committed fraud, against her future self. That may sound melodramatic in a movie trailer. But should she really be facing punishment for it?
