Colorado governor signals willingness to release Tina Peters from prison amid Trump pressure
Gov. Polis cited uneven sentencing between Tina Peters’ nine-year term and a probation sentence for a similar felony, extending clemency application deadline to April 3.
- On Tuesday, Gov. Jared Polis signaled he is reviewing Tina Peters' clemency application and extended the deadline to April 3, citing sentencing disparities.
- Polis noted the disparity between Tina Peters and former Colorado state senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis, highlighting their different sentencing outcomes for similar charges.
- She is currently serving a sentence at La Vista Correctional Facility in Pueblo after being convicted of orchestrating a 2021 security breach tied to false claims about voting-machine fraud, with sentencing in October 2024.
- Meanwhile, the Colorado Court of Appeals is reviewing Peters' sentence, and many legislators strongly oppose clemency, with Weiser warning it would be a 'grave miscarriage of justice'.
- Given the timing, Polis will review Peters' clemency application like any other, despite President Trump issuing a symbolic pardon that does not affect state convictions.
