In a three page order issued Monday, February 5, (pdf) the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit denied Tina Peters’ motion for an injunction to halt her upcoming criminal trial, set to start at 9:00 a.m. this Friday, February 9 in the Mesa County Justice Center, Courtroom 9.
Tina’s trial will be live-streamed by KREX-TV on their website, WesternSlopeNow.com.
In the most recent episode of her internet TV show, The Tina Peters Show, on Rumble.com, Tina continues to say she won her 2022 Republican primary election against Pam Anderson for Secretary of State, but “lost” the race due to election tampering. Anderson got 43.1% of the vote and Tina got 28.9%. A recount, paid for by donations to Tina, confirmed her loss by over 14%.
Tina also tells her followers that the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel “has run over 700 front page, above-the-fold articles lying about me” adding, “Whatever happened to good media, where you could write them and get a retraction, get an apology?” She continues to say without proof that “there’s illegal software in voting machines and they are connected to the internet.,” and the candidates who won the April 6, 2021 G.J. city election “couldn’t possibly have won.”
“There’s no way these people could’ve been elected. I know my constituents, I know my county, it’s a very conservative county and these people weren’t well known, they didn’t work hard, and so on and so forth..”
She insists she hasn’t done anything wrong and the charges against her are “retaliation against me to get me to shut up” about the election fraud she claims she exposed.
Tina pleads with her followers to pack the courtroom so she’ll have a friendly audience, and says,
“Pray for jury nullification.”
That’s when a jury returns a not guilty verdict regardless of whether or not they believe the defendant has broken the law.
I’m surprised the judge didn’t offer her a choice. Either re-hire your legal team and begin trial as scheduled OR the Court will revoke your bail and you’ll spend the next 5 months in lockup pending trial.

Not so fast. The trial was just rescheduled for late July and August. Just gotta wonder how she keeps getting away with this?
She is following her Bestie’s playbook, delay, delay, delay .
I was hoping her trial outcome would somehow dovetail w the courts denial of his immunity from prosecution.
And Oh -her race and having $$ allow her to keep resetting the timeline. HA.
I just saw that the case has been postponed until July 30. She apparently changed lawyers again.
Sentinel breaking news says she fired her lawyers and got her trial delayed again. WHAT IS GOING ON?
She’s pricing tickets to Moscow, ala Tara Reade.

Hmm. Seems that votes aren’t the only thing Tina has trouble counting.
Praying for jury nullification is the only way you can win when the jury knows you are a criminal after hearing the facts at trial. The judge will instruct the jury that nullification is illegal.
Gene – jury nullification is legal and is a defacto power of juries. See People v Scott, 494 P.3d 651 (Colo.App., 2021); see also People v. Iannicelli, 449 P.3d 387 (Colo., 2019). While a court is unlikely to allow testimony or pleas from a defendant for nullification, a court is unlikely to instruct that nullification is illegal, because it is a legal exercise of a jury’s inherent power.
