⁣Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters finally got her day in appellate court — and the results were explosive.

A three-judge panel appeared deeply troubled by major legal errors in Peters’ original trial, including:

A felony conviction based on jury instructions that described a misdemeanor

Evidence that Peters was blocked from presenting a full defense

Whether the trial judge relied on uncharged conduct during sentencing

Whether Peters was effectively punished for her protected speech

A shocking nine-year sentence for a 70-year-old non-violent first offender

Judges openly challenged the State’s argument that a person can be convicted of a crime they were never properly charged with.

“I am baffled by the position that we can somehow overlook that…” — Judge Craig Welling

They also grilled prosecutors on why Peters was not allowed to testify about her intent — even though intent is a required element of the charge.

Even Governor Jared Polis has now admitted Peters’ sentence was “harsh.”

Peters’ legal team is requesting:

Reversal of conviction

Or at minimum, resentencing before a different judge

Possible release on bond while the appeal is decided

This case has become a national flashpoint for:
⚖ Due Process
🗳 Election transparency
🇺🇸 Constitutional rights
🧱 Judicial abuse of power

👇 Watch the full hearing and decide for yourself.
