Peters remained unrepentant and unapologetic during and after the trial, asserted that she did nothing wrong. Law enforcement investigators, prosecutors, a jury and a judge disagreed. After she was convicted, she claimed that the Deep State rigged her trial because the judge didn't allow her to present evidence that people in Serbia rigged our 2020 election.

Where's your rich pillow idiot now?

Peters called a Pastor from California as her first witness who asked the court to sentence her to a program run by a church. He likely annoyed the court by weaving into his plea the suggestion that she was unjustly convicted and prosecuted for political reasons.

It always helps to accuse the judge of being biased.

Peters next called Douglas Frank ("Dr. Frank"), who Mike Lindell made a movie about based on his "findings" about the machines called, "Scientific Proof." He likely did Peters no favors by defiantly suggesting that Peters was a "patriot," and that officials with the state government are to blame for the entire case and are covering up their misconduct. The judge interrupted him at one point and made it clear that he could continue to make that argument but it wasn't helping. He concluded by saying that the whole case should be thrown out.

It's not the person who cheated at fault but the system that made them cheat!

Alex Schroeder testified next for Peters. He was a former clerk in another county and current County Commissioner. He claimed that there was a government conspiracy in Colorado to prosecute Peters to send a message to try and intimidate other clerks around the state to keep them from coming forward with evidence of fraud. He complained about Dominion voting machines and said they should have never been certified. When the judge asked him why the hand recount showed exactly the same results as the machines, Schroeder said that didn't matter to him and clerks should still have to right to conduct their own forensic examination of the voting machine software.

We don't need to base our conclusions on facts; we just know how we feel and that's a rational way to live our lives.

Seriously, this lady got the hard time that she deserves. It took a long fucking time to come about but I'm happy with this outcome other than her raising money off the celebrity of it. Hopefully, she is forgotten by the maga crowd once she is out of sight.
