Tina Peters, former Mesa County, Colo., clerk, listens during her trial, Friday, March 3, 2023, in Grand Junction, Colo. Peters was convicted of a misdemeanor obstruction charge for refusing to turn over an iPad she allegedly used to videotape a court hearing. Jurors found the former clerk guilty of obstructing government operations but acquitted her of obstructing a peace officer. The case is separate from Peters’ alleged involvement in a security break of voting machines. (Scott Crabtree/The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel via AP, Pool)
