“During her sentencing hearing on Thursday, Peters spoke for 40 minutes and used the opportunity to present evidence that was ruled inadmissible during her trial. She also broke down into tears when she talked about how she could not live in prison because of health issues.”

"I did my best to serve this county and I hope you find it in your heart to not sentence me to… I don't deserve to be in prison. I can do a lot more good, a lot more good out helping people," said Peters. "If you tell me not to talk about the election, I won't talk about the election."
