While traveling today in a prisoner van from Grand Junction to Ft. Collins, Colorado, Tina Peters won her first appeal.
The Colorado Appeals Court vacated a “punitive contempt” judgment against her.
She was moved to make it more difficult for friends and family to visit her, 303 miles away,
Did she know what happened today?
Tina is the former Clerk of Mesa County, Grand Junction, Colorado.
Clerks in Colorado are supposed to be in charge of their local elections.
Instead, U.S. Dominion Voting employees are named as county election officials.
Dominion tells Colorado clerks, judges, and state elected officials how to steal elections.
The contempt charge stemmed from a two-year-old misdemeanor case.
Judge Paul Dunkleman ruled Tina lied to him.
Her sentence was:
four months of home confinement
a $1500 fine
120 hours of community service

The fine was twice that allowed under Colorado law.
What happens now?
Will Tina get her fine back, or will the local jail in Mesa County:
charge her two months’ room and board for her prison stay
keep Peters’ fine, and
charge her a transportation fee to Larimer County Jail?
What compensation should she get for being wrongfully imprisoned in her home for four months?
Will the Judge, Paul Dunkelman, be:
removed from the bench
lose his law license
be held personally liable for Tina’s wrongful imprisonment
sentenced to serve four months of home confinement, too?
