She also told the judge she can’t go to prison because she needs to sleep on a magnetic mattress, which she’s been using since 1995 to help with health conditions like chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.

🤣🤣🤣

Just goes to show what kind of impressionable mind falls for the mega bullshit

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

There'll be plenty of magnet-scanners where she's going

She hasn’t changed her mattress in 30 years?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I'm honestly surprised she didn't claim she had chronic lyme disease or morgellons.

Or bone spurs

Not a smart play, surely getting a mattress, at her expense, into the prison shouldn't be that hard anyway...

Most delicious excerpt from the article:

(Presiding Judge) Barrett called out Peters for being “as defiant as a defendant that the court has ever seen” and said he believed Peters would do it all over again if she could. He accused her of seeking fame, despite her claims that she didn’t want attention for her actions.

He said she didn’t respect the courts, law enforcement, government officials or her colleagues, and had abused the power of her position. She didn’t take the clerk role “particularly seriously”, he said, noting she hadn’t completed certification, and that “one scandal after another followed you in your time as the clerk.”

He added, “You are no hero, you abused your position, and you’re a charlatan who used and is still using your prior position in office to peddle a snake oil that’s been proven to be junk time and time again.”

Judge Barrett from the top rope!

Suck it Peters!

We appear to have entered the "FIND OUT" phase of the event.

Yes, but seemingly only for the irrelevant players.

[-] resetbypeer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Yet another acquisition turned out to be a confession. I am tired of this timeline

[-] kikutwo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago
