The trial of Tina Peters, a key figure in the controversy surrounding post-2020 election security, has recently concluded. As the legal process moves forward, the attention of the netizens now turns to the details of the trial and the upcoming sentencing date.
So, what happened at Tina Peters’ trial, and when is her sentencing scheduled? Here are the details.
What happened to Tina Peters?
Tina Peters, a former Mesa County official, was found guilty on Monday of four felony and three misdemeanor charges.
This comes after a criminal trial linked Peters to conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 election. She faced ten charges related to her role in helping a man gain unauthorized access to voting equipment during a secure software update in May 2021. The incident led to the online release of the county’s voting machine passwords and hard drive copies by those seeking to undermine the election system’s integrity. (via CBS News)
After trial, the jury convicted Tina Peters of three counts of attempting to influence a public servant and one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation. Additionally, she was found guilty of three misdemeanors, including first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty, and failure to comply with an order from the Secretary of State. However, Peters was acquitted of charges including criminal impersonation, conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, and identity theft.
When is Tina Peters’ sentencing?
Tina Peters’ sentencing is scheduled for October 3, 2024.
The case against Tina Peters began almost three years ago. It happened when images from the secure software update, including passwords, appeared online. These images and a copy of Mesa County’s hard drive were later showcased at MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s “cyber symposium.” Moreover, he has allegedly been a prominent figure in promoting false claims about the 2020 presidential election.
Investigations revealed that Peters facilitated access to voting equipment by using the identity of Gerald Wood, a Fruita resident. She allowed Conan Hayes, a self-described data expert, to copy the hard drive and participate in the software update. Peters was reportedly motivated by suspicions regarding the 2020 election results.
