Colorado Appeals Court Denies Tina Peters Bond — 70-Year-Old Gold Star Mother to Remain in Prison
Gateway Pundit ^ | 2/20/26 | Brian Lupo

Posted on 02/20/2026 10:12:08 AM PST by CFW

Last month, the Colorado Court of Appeals heard the appeal of 70-year-old former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters. Peters is serving over 9 years following her August 2024 conviction at La Vista Correctional Facility in Pueblo, Colorado. Peters was condemned to this medium-security prison, despite Peters’ being a non-violent, first-time offender.

On Wednesday, Peters was denied bond by the very same court. In Colorado, a defendant has 49 days to seek review of a decision denying bond from a district court. Peters’ bond appeal came “more than fifteen months after the district court issued the order,” the ruling states.

The appellate court has not yet ruled on the merits of Peters’ arguments, but rather only on the bond issue thus far.

Our legal systems have become a joke.

She needs to identify as an illegal alien. A judge will demand her release within minutes.

Must be a preponderance of Dems on the Colorado Appeals Court, that, or too many RINOs aka assistant Dems.
The Defense has 40 days to appeal. I hope they do and find the right combination of words, phrases and semantics to make Tina’s case. She made some mistakes, yes, but not enough to remain locked away from the outside world like some mass murderer.

I say we revoke her citizenship and send ICE in to get her.

States should not be allowed to hold political prisoners. If only we had a justice department.

This is along the same lines as the January 6th people the Democrats held behind bars for years basically as political prisoners. If/when the Dems get back in control anyone on this forum should not be surprised if their henchmen show up at your house if you ever even said anything that could be misconstrued. And that mean all of us, brothers and sisters.

Maybe we could get a federal judge to rule they have to release her. Federal judges seem to be butting into everything under the sun these days anyway.

Crazy eyed Jena Griswold persecuted Tina for exposing election fraud. She needs to take Peter's place in prison. Free Tina NOW!

Tina would have been released by now if she had murdered someone instead.

The law applies to Gold Star mothers and fathers. It’s disgraceful that you are trying to use that.

Give her a pardon, that’s fine, but not on that basis you simp.

Does this make anyone’s blood boil?

This is so unfair that it makes sense why the wrath of God is upon society.

The headline is wrong -- the appeals court did not deny her bond. The trial court denied her bond during the pendency of her appeal -- which was B.S. in my view -- but she (or more accurately, her lawyer) apparently didn't file an appeal of that decision in time. So, the Court of Appeals refused to overturn the District Court's denial of bail.

From that, it appears that the Court of Appeals got it right. It was her lawyer and the district court that got it wrong.

A Republican Congress could draft her onto the Federal Elections Commission staff.
