Colorado judge receives threats after sentencing election denier official to prison
A rural Colorado county courthouse beefed up security Friday after threats were made against staff and a judge who sentenced former county clerk Tina Peters to nearly nine years behind bars and admonished her for her role in a data breach scheme catalyzed by the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.
Courthouse staff in Grand Junction, Colorado, received multiple threats that were being vetted by law enforcement while extra security was provided, said spokesperson Wendy Likes with the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office.
She did not say how many threats were made or how they were received. She also declined to describe the extra security.
The court received compliments as well as threats for Judge Matthew Barrett’s sentencing of Ms. Peters, Will Sightler, the court executive of the 21st Judicial District, said in a statement Friday. He didn’t elaborate on what the compliments said.
Ms. Peters, a Republican, was sentenced Thursday for allowing access to the county’s election system to a man affiliated with My Pillow chief executive Mike Lindell – a prominent promoter of false claims that voting machines were manipulated to steal the election.

...go through the legal process and receive the punishment commensurate to their crimes once they are found guilty by a jury of their peers. Enough of this! Enough!
