COURT OF APPEALS,
STATE OF COLORADO
Ralph L. Carr Judicial Center
2 East 14th Avenue
Denver, Colorado 80203
Appeal from Mesa County District Court Judgment
of Conviction and Sentence.
Honorable Matthew D. Barrett.
Case Number 22CR371
Excerpt from the Filings 11 17 2024 to the Appellate Court in Denver Colorado.
Pursuant to C.A.R. 9(b) and C.R.S. §16-4-201.5, Appellant Tina Peters
respectfully moves for release pending this Court’s review of her conviction of four felony counts and three misdemeanors in the Mesa County District Court.
The attached Appendix contains documents from the district court record that support this motion, beginning with the transcript of the hearing October 3, 2024, at which the district court imposed sentence and orally denied bond pending appeal.
References to the Appendix are cited “App. *” 1
The district court sentenced Appellant to nine years of incarceration. 2 The court went on to deny orally her motion for bond pending appeal, 3 followed by a written order denying bond. 4 Appellant’s convictions are for nonviolent offenses, she qualifies for bond under article II, section 19(2.5) of the Colorado Constitution, and she meets all criteria for bond listed in C.R.S. §16-4-202. 5 Defense counsel requested a brief stay of the sentence until the Court of Appeals could rule on Appellant’s motion for bond, but the district court denied this request as well. 6
Appellant asks this Court to reinstitute the bond in the amount of $25,000 cash or surety under which she had been released during the proceedings below.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
A. The criminal charges at issue were levelled against Appellant for her
response as then-Clerk and Recorder of Mesa County to a software “upgrade” to the County’s computer voting system mandated by Colorado’s Secretary of State.
Appellant engaged a cybersecurity expert, Conan Hayes, to make forensic images of the election management server (EMS) hard drive before and after the installation of the upgrade. Making the forensic images was not a crime, did not violate any state regulation, and did not cause any harm to the voting system hardware or software.
Instead, the government teased its charges out of the fact that Appellant concealed Mr. Hayes’ identity and brought him into the clerk’s secure facility that housed the voting system.
Three of the Class 4 felony counts charged violations of C.R.S. §18-8-306
(attempting to influence any public official by “deceit ... with the intent thereby to alter or affect the public servant’s decision, vote, opinion, or action”) with respect to two employees of the Secretary of State, and a Mesa County IT employee. The remaining felony charged Appellant with conspiring to commit criminal
impersonation in violation of C.R.S. §§ 18-5-113(1)(B)(1) and 18-2-201. Appellant was convicted of three misdemeanors: official misconduct “to obtain a benefit ... or maliciously cause harm to another” pursuant to C.R.S. § 18-8-404(1); failure to
perform her duty under C.R.S. § 1-13-107(1); and a failure to comply with the Secretary of State’s rules under C.R.S. § 1-13-114. 7
