Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters will be back in court Monday to hear her sentence after her conviction in a misdemeanor obstruction case
Jurors last month found Peters guilty of obstructing government operations for refusing to turn over an iPad she allegedly used to videotape a February 2022 court hearing involving former Mesa County Deputy Clerk Belinda Knisley.
Prosecutors allege Peters, with the help of former elections manager Sandra Brown and Knisley, was in search of proof of the conspiracy theories spun by former President Donald Trump. Peters, who has become a hero to election conspiracy theorists, was also charged with obstructing a peace officer in connection with the iPad incident but was acquitted by the same jury last month.
