Background here.
And here’s the judge, sentencing her to nine years.
Here, the defense has, and Ms. Peters in particular, remained quite defiant, which is her right, but certainly not helpful for her lot today… Your lies are well documented and these convictions are serious. I’m convinced you would do it all over again if you could. You’re as defiant a defendant as this court has ever seen.
… You are no hero. You abused your position and you’re a charlatan who used and is still using your prior position in office to peddle a snake oil that’s been proven to be junk time and time again. In your world, it’s all about you.
… You have no respect for the checks and balances of government. You have no respect for this court. You have no respect for law enforcement, and you do not have respect for your … colleagues when you were a clerk and recorder who weren’t in lockstep in your beliefs.
… Your explanation about what happened is preposterous. It’s on video. You have no problem lying to officers. It’s happened multiple times. They’re recorded conversations. It’s just more lies... Yes, you are a charlatan and you cannot help but lie as easy as it is for you to breathe. You betrayed your oath for no one other than you.
… And this is what makes Ms. Peters such a danger to our community. It’s the position she held that has provided her the pulpit from which she can preach these lies, the undermining of our democratic process, the undermining of the belief and confidence in our election systems... Every effort to undermine the integrity of our elections and public’s trust in our institutions has been made by you.
