    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.

    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!
