UPDATE: Tina Peters
Appellate Judges Grill Prosecutors Over "Baffling" Error: Tina Peters Convicted on Felony Charges despite using Misdemeanor Jury Instruction Language
- A judge asks point-blank if it's acceptable to convict someone of a crime they weren't charged with or instructed on, as long as evidence supports it; the prosecutor affirms "yes," leading to visible judicial confusion and pushback, with one judge stating, "I'm baffled at the position that's being taken."
- The jury was instructed using "might" (misdemeanor language implying potential liability) instead of the felony requirement of actual liability, resulting in an extra 15 months in prison; judges emphasize this isn't a mere omission but an affirmative misinstruction, questioning why the remedy isn't simply entering a misdemeanor verdict.
This egregious error represents prosecutorial misconduct or a fundamental due process violation, and is potentially grounds for overturning the conviction entirely or declaring a mistrial.
