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.

According to her counsel's arguments last month, Peters is being held among "murderers, child molesters, and drug dealers" in Colorado prison because Colorado only has four minimum security facilities and all four are exclusively for men.
