⚖️#TinaPetersTrial 🚀 Puppetmaster Mike Lindell emails Soviet quotes, $1,000 grift & "Tina Peters faces verdict in CO because she did her DUTY as whistleblower. Sherronna Bishop unindicted co-conspirator cause she questioned shenanigans. Courage born of love for the USA People."

How long will it be until the jury reaches a verdict in the #TinaPetersTrial?
And we're LIVE! #TinaPetersTrial
The People of the State of Colorado v. Tina Marie Peters
District Court Judge Matthew David Barrett presiding.
#TinaPetersTrial From #LukeCrew hero Brad Barker @BDogBBarker who is in the courtroom:
From the great @MarioNicolaiEsq, arguments about jury instructions. The jury hasn't entered yet for closing statements and it's 9:25am MT. Check out Mario's outstanding #TinaPetersTrial coverage!
Prosecutor Shapiro objects to defense motion that closing arguments should be longer than 45 minutes for each side (1 hourr). Judge Barrett gives them 50 minutes. While 4.5 minutes per charge is a guideline, Barrett says it's not a good indicator (murder charge). #TinaPetersTrial
Don't adjust your TV, we're on a break for the #TinaPetersTrial while final jury instructions are being printed. Once the jury is brought in, Closing Arguments will begin. Asked Dave at @KREX5_Fox4 for the cameraman to please zoom in on exhibits -- hope he will.

🚨 ⚖️ #TinaPetersTrial And we're BACK! The parties are satisfied with jury instructions. The jury is in the courtroom. Instructions first.
Defense closing will be John Case
Prosecution closing will be Robert Shapiro & Janet Drake.
More on the attorneys: gjsentinel.com/news/western_c…
Jury Instructions --
Do not consider punishments. Reviews the criminal counts. Judge Barrett lays out the parties' theories. Everyone should be presumed innocent. Is Tina Peters guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt?" Not absolute certainty... #TinaPetersTrial
Here are the counts that #TinaPeters has been charged with. Judge Barrett is nearly finished with jury instructions, then we'll move to closing arguments. More on jury instructions from @MarioNicolaiEsq. #TinaPetersTrial
🚨 ⚖️ CLOSING ARGUMENTS IN TINA PETERS' TRIAL BEGIN!
Prosecution's Robert Shapiro: This case centers on deceit and fraud. The defendant, influenced by outsiders, caused confidential images to leak online, leading to the collapse of her house of cards. #TinaPetersTrial
Kurt Olson, Mike Lindell’s attorney, advised Tina Peters. She, along with insiders Belinda Knisley & Sandra Brown, and outsiders Sherrona Bishop & Conan Hayes, were key players. Peters, a willing Clerk, broke the law by tricking public servants. #TinaPetersTrial
Jessi Romero led techs to update election software in CO’s 64 counties. In 2021, Peters wanted the public there, but Jessi said no, but cameras would be on. Peters reacted, "How dare the SOS tell me what to do," paving the way for Doug Frank’s arrival. #TinaPetersTrial
Key prop in Tina Peters' defense was Gerald "Jerry" Wood. Peters used his name and badge without his permission. Wood testified he did NOT authorize this. The only "evidence" was Sherronna Bishop claiming she was "told" he was in on it. #TinaPetersTrial
Robert Shapiro: The least credible witness was Sherronna Bishop based on her answers. If you don't believe Bishop, consent is not going to be proven. Conan Hayes used Wood's badge to attend "trusted build" & misused Wood's identity. #TinaPetersTrial
"The conspiracy was hatched" at the meeting on Apr 23, 2021. Honest election workers were asked to leave the meeting. 5 days later, Peters was told the SoS was limiting the "trusted build" to two people. Peters called that a "threat". Then Hayes was introduced. #TinaPetersTrial
Robert Shapiro sets out Key Events and Statements (camera isn't zooming, sorry for the resolution). #TinaPetersTrial
Robert Shapiro reviews: "Transparency?? Layers of Deceit" #TinaPetersTrial
Belinda Knisley's testimony was that Tina Peters told her, "I'M FU*KED" and "I am going to jail." #TinaPetersTrial
This is THE LAW in #TinaPetersTrial. Any info from either lawyer in closing that doesn't conform to this is incorrect. Judge Barrett will tell you the law. #TinaPetersTrial
Robert Shapiro: Tina Peters had CRIMINAL INTENT. #TinaPetersTrial
Robert Shapiro: Defendant is a principal or co-conspirator (you must unanimously agree). #TinaPetersTrial
Robert Shapiro on Count 5, Criminal Impersonation: Using Gerald Wood's name and ID, subjected to criminal investigations, 2 searches of his home... would he submit/consent to that? NO! #TinaPetersTrial
Tina Peters Criminal Impersonation counts 3 & 6:
#TinaPetersTrial
Count 7 - Identity Theft. Robert Shapiro is at 45 minutes, not leaving much time for rebuttal after Defense. #TinaPetersTrial
Tina Peters violated her oath and her duty to the people of Mesa County, Colorado. She orchestrated this series of crimes. We ask you to find Tina Peters guilty of all 10 charges and hold her accountable. #TinaPetersTrial. 12 minutes left for rebuttal. Short break.
John Case for the defense. When Tina Peters' son died, she needed a new purpose. (Starts referring to an exhibit).
Objection! Not admitted. SUSTAINED. (yup, already).
Objection! Facts not in evidence. Closing arguments are NOT evidence.
#TinaPetersTrial
"To protect 1 person with an important task, the government has charged Tina Peters with 10 crimes. Why?"
Dominion & State were going thru 62 counties & they were going to erase all the election records...
Objection! Judge: Evidence is what you've heard.#TinaPetersTrial
💙 Thank you hugely, Someone! I'm grateful. If you'd like to join in and support my live coverage, here's a link to leave a tip: buymeacoffee.com/lukejohnson2
Defense: Tina Peters asked IT for 2 staff—Dem & Rep—to witness the process. (Asking political affiliation is not allowed.) NO. So she consulted Mike Lindell, introed Kurt Olson, Doug Frank & Conan Hayes. Peters requested Hayes background check from Olson. #TinaPetersTrial
Defense: Gerald Wood said: "From 5/19-25, I had no contact with Sherronna Bishop of Tina Peters". Well, 5/14, 5/18, 5/19... Trebuche wrote (allegedly) to them. (Gerald Wood denied knowing about this chat or any of it, his ID was stolen.)
#TinaPetersTrial
John Case is saying Gerald Wood was lying. 27 mins left. According to his website, Case “represents citizens petitioning for integrity in the Colorado election system.” Llana Jordan said it was Tina Peters's duty to preserve records.
#TinaPetersTrial
Tina Peters' attorney John Case: Shapiro said he was gonna prove a CONSPIRACY! You heard the audio, did you hear that?
"If you give a hotel room keycard to your family or friend..."
Continues presenting on counts 3, 4 & 5.
#TinaPetersTrial
Case walks away from the mic to tell the jury Count 6 is bogus, there was no conspiracy.
#TinaPetersTrial
Case has 13 mins left. Counts 8, 9, 10. Case stops showing slides after 8. Who had authority? Tina Peters "And thank God she did or we wouldn't know what happened". Disclosure of the image not a crime, use of keycard by Hayes not a crime. Video with defunct pws not a crime.
So why are we here? No harm to Mesa County, to the hardware & software...
Who was? Dominion & the state...
Objection! SUSTAINED. (Unusual # of objections, judge keeps reminding jury Case's statements aren't evidence. Case keeps trying election denier stuff).
#TinaPetersTrial
Who was harmed? Tina Peters -- her life is upset down because of lies set forth by the gov't, disgraceful
Objection! SUSTAINED.
Witnesses...
Objection! Judge: The law is as I have given you.
Case: Witnesses got a deal, that's what govt wants.
#TinaPetersTrial
Case mocks: Policy must be **Obeyed**. But this isn't about policy, it's about crimes. As you look at Peters' choices, what choices did she have? Absurd gov't says she got a free plane ride in Aug for benefit in May? Did she get money or value? No. 5 mins left.
#TinaPetersTrial
While presenting, Case said he didn't know how to use a clicker, he's from a "different generation". ?? #TinaPetersTrial
🚨 ⚖️ John Case for Tina Peters: We ask you to find Tina Peters NOT GUILTY on all counts. Thank you. Defense closing statement finished.
Judge turns to Janet Drake for prosecution's rebuttal. 13 mins max. Special deputy district att'y for 21st Judicial District. #TinaPetersTrial

Defense is saying this all happened because IT wouldn't give Tina Peters 2 witnesses for the "trusted build". Prosecutor Janet Drake, special deputy district attorney for the 21st Judicial DA’s Office says nonsense.
#TinaPetersTrial
If Tina Peters was innocent, why did she turn the cameras off? Why did she use Signal, an encrypted app, instead of email? Prosecution gives several examples. #TinapetersTrial
With Mike Lindell and his MONEY pulling the strings, Tina Peters, Sherronna Bishop, sanctioned in AZ lawyer Kurt Olson & Conan Hayes set up the conspiracy. #Tin
🚨 ⚖️ After NINE trial days, the #TinaPetersTrial now goes to the jury for deliberations.
Judge Barrett says, "There's more." But the camera cuts away to the "Coverage Will Continue When Trial Resumes" slide. Maybe @BDogBBarker will be able to fill us in. Tina arranges papers.
🚨 ⚖️ #TinaPetersTrial Dan Rubinstein, District Attorney for Colorado's 21st Judicial District which includes Mesa County, calls for CONTEMPT charges for Peters' lawyer John Case for repeatedly invoking Conan Hayes. From #LukeCrew hero Brad Barker @BDogBBarker in the courtroom:
@SengCenter posts:
"Thank God she did it. Otherwise, we really wouldn't know what happened." Bullsh*t. We knew EXACTLY what happens in the TB, which is why this rabbit hole wasn't allowed. In fact, I laid the basics out THREE years ago - Aug. 20, 2021: denvergazette.com/opinion/column…
🚨 ⚖️ Important story from Charles Ashby's @oldnewsman 8/11/24 article: "Defense on the defensive in Tina Peters trial". Counters uninformed election deniers' whining about not admitting bogus conspiracy theories. This was decided BEFORE #TinaPetersTrial.
gjsentinel.com/news/western_c…
⚖️Suspended Arizona lawyer Rachel Alexander, an Ozempic victim, has a tell: When she overloads a post with clown & laughing cat emojis, she knows the defendant is GUILTY. She did this during #EastmanTrial too. 10 clowns & 10 laughing cats. Looks like Tina Peters is going to jail.
⚖️District Court Judge Matthew David Barrett, presiding over People of the State of Colorado v. Tina Marie Peters, was retained in 2022 with 67% of the vote. Judge Barrett has been diligent in looking out for the jury throughout the trial. #TinaPetersTrial judicialperformance.colorado.gov/sites/judicial…
⚖️ From @nexton9news, 8/9/24: "Tina Peters says she won't testify in trial, defense rests its case." "The judge wouldn't let her tell the jury this whole secret agent business." h/t @FrankRi92249714 #TinaPetersTrial
⚖️ Closing thread so ThreadReaderApp can process it. Next with jury deliberations. These past 9 days have been wild! I'm grateful for your company. #TinaPetersTrial showcased the chaos & harm election deniers cause. SMOKING GUNS easily beat Tina's defense.
