Overview
- Following a March 10 disciplinary hearing, corrections officials found Peters not guilty of assault but guilty of an unauthorized-absence rule violation, with the decision formalized this week.
- Department-released video shows a brief scuffle between Peters and another inmate at La Vista Correctional Facility, and officials said neither woman was injured.
- Corrections spokeswoman Alondra Gonzalez-Garcia said both findings arose from the same January incident and said she was unsure whether any sanction was imposed for the lesser violation.
- A copy of Peters’ prison file reviewed by Denver7 shows at least four prior minor write-ups by prison staff.
- Peters remains incarcerated on a nine-year state sentence, her presidential pardon does not affect state convictions, and Gov. Jared Polis has said he is reviewing her clemency case.
