Tina Peters’ Attorneys File Motion with the Court

Tina Peters’ attorneys filed a motion with the court on Friday.  

After their court appearance earlier in the week, the attorneys representing Tina Peters filed a motion on Friday.

On  July 22nd, a Habeas Corpus hearing was held in the Denver Federal Courthouse.   US District Court Chief Magistrate Judge Scott T. Varholak presided to determine if Judge Matthew Barrett committed reversible error by sentencing Tina Peters to prison because he, in essence, deemed her speech to be a danger to society.

Here’s exactly what Judge Barrett said during Tina’s sentencing:   

“You are no hero. You abused your position – and you’re a charlatan who used, and is still using your prior position to peddle a snake oil that’s been proven to be junk time and time again. Your lies are well-documented and these convictions are serious. I’m convinced you’d do it all over again if you could.  You’re as defiant as a defendant as this court has ever seen.”

Sadly, Tina wasn’t even allowed to participate in Tuesday’s hearing of hers electronically, from where she continues to languish at the LaVista Prison in Pueblo, Colorado. 

Tina’s Habeas claim of whether her Constitutional Right of Free Speech was severely violated is a Federal issue.  The complication arose during the proceeding.  In addition, is the question whether the case was heard and dispositioned sufficiently at the Colorado State Court level.  Since Tina is alleging that Colorado violated her Constitutional rights to begin with, this Constitutional violation should supersede any further involvement with the Colorado Court, and enable it to be immediately heard in the Federal Court.

That was the intent of the July 22nd hearing, led by Tina’s Attorney Peter Ticktin.  Here’s a glimpse of Attorney Ticktin being interviewed by CBS upon conclusion of the proceedings:

While the Judge could have simply thrown out the case with the same malice and forethought demonstrated at all phases of Tina’s persecution and prosecution thus far, he instead fairly asked that Tina’s team refile their paperwork (by July 25th) to only address this First Amen
