Attorney Peter Ticktin filed an Amicus Curiae Brief of American Rights Alliance in support of Habeas Corpus Petition of Defendant Tina Peters.
President Trump’s friend and former school mate, Peter Ticktin, filed a brief in support of Tina Peters in Colorado yesterday.
Tina Peters filed for a Writ in Habeas Corpus challenging her current incarceration back in February.
Ticktin’s brief supports Peters and her position. Here is an introductory paragraph from the brief:
The Defendant Tina Peters has a broad-based appeal pending to the Colorado Court of Appeals but also due to severe health concerns and the injustice of detention has filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus petition for release from incarceration – and thereby access to necessary medical care – pending her appeal on the main topics. The violation of her civil rights and constitutional rights support habeas relief of release pending the outcome of all appeals.
Peter then shares the following:
Nothing says that there was something wrong with the presidential election held on November 3, 2020, more than the prosecution of those who tried to ensure that the election was fair and accurate by using the criminal law to silence whistleblowers and by destroying evidence starting on around April 30, 2021.
Tina Peters has been prosecuted for exposing criminal misconduct of other Colorado officials – whether she intended that at the time or not. The Colorado Attorney General is even guilty of the now famous 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c) – obstruction of an official proceeding – as well as attempted destruction of evidence (attempted in Peters’ district, but surely completed in other parts of Colorado)…
…Tina Peters’ “crime” was to preserve a copy of the digital election records prior to the alteration of the software and database. She arranged a qualified expert to oversee the purported software “upgrade” mandated by the Secretary of State that would have erased election records in violation of 52 U.S.C. §20701.
The substantive controversies at the heart of her state prosecution center on Ms. Peters’ legal duty to preserve election records and data, both under State and Federal requirements, and the fact that Federal laws that mandated Peters’ heroic and protective behavior pre-empted the State law under the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause. All judges considering this matter should recall the Supremacy Clause’s exact wording, which explicitly commands “and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby.”
