Some very interesting details revealed from the grand jury testimony...
Quoted from the linked news article: https://www.gjsentinel.com/news/western ... user-shareOne of the witnesses the grand jury heard was Fruita resident Gerald Wood, whose identity was used by a still-unknown person who was authorized by Peters and others in her office to gain access to secure areas of the county’s election division.
In so doing, Barrett said Peters, Knisley and former elections manager Sandra Brown unfairly placed Wood in legal jeopardy, and misled other county workers in doing so, including in conducting a background check on Wood knowing that he would never actually be hired to the clerk’s office. Such background checks are required before someone can be considered by authorities to be near election equipment.
“Wood stated he provided the information in the background check, met with HR, got a security badge, and met with Knisley and Peters,” Barrett wrote.
“At the end of their meeting, Knisley told him to provide his badge to her and that she would be in touch regarding his services,” Barrett added. “That was the last time he ever went into the office. He didn’t see her again for some two months. He later learned that his identity was used, without his consent, for someone else to access areas of the office.”
Barrett noted that Wood was never hired.
That unknown person, along with Peters, Knisley and Brown, allegedly used his security clearance to enter secure areas of the office, and make copies of computer hard drives. That occurred before and after a routine “trusted build” of election software, but after security cameras were turned off and done late at night when no one else was in the office, Barrett wrote.
I wonder if these two will end up serving jail time?
Do we know what Peters and Knisley were actually trying to do? I've lost track...
