Tennessee BLM founder sentenced to 6 years in prison for illegally voting

More problems with BLM founders

A Black Lives Matter chapter founder in Tennessee was sentenced to six years in prison for illegally registering to vote while serving probation.

"You tricked the probation department into giving you documents saying you were off probation," Criminal Court Judge W. Mark Ward told the founder of the Black Lives Matter chapter in Memphis, Pamela Moses, on Monday.
Moses pleaded guilty in 2015 to felonies including tampering with evidence and forgery, as well as misdemeanor charges of perjury, stalking, theft under $500, and escape. She was ineligible to vote in Tennessee due to her tampering with evidence charge and was currently serving seven years of probation.

Moses contended during her hearing last week that she believed she could vote again despite her convictions, because the corrections department and county election commission both signed off on her voter registration application in 2019.

However, the officials who signed off on the application admitted they made an error when they said her probation was over, the Washington Post reported.

"I did not falsify anything. All I did was try to get my rights to vote back the way the people at the election commission told me and the way the clerk did," she said at the hearing.

Moses founded the local BLM chapter in Memphis. She also ran for mayor in Memphis in 2019, but learned she could not be on the ballot due to her serving probation.

She will now serve six years and one day in prison, but her lawyer said Moses plans to appeal the sentencing.
This case is one about the disparity in sentencing and punishment — and one that shouldn’t have happened," attorney Bede Anyanwu told the Washington Post. "It’s all very, very disturbing."

Have to swallow hard to agree with lawyers on anything, but this is all very disturbing...

Amazing that the US uses this as grounds to stop black people from voting and to put them in prison.
This would never happen in Canada.

So a black woman registers to vote and gets 6 years in prison. Donnie tries to wipe out over 81 million votes and he might not even get charges and definitely won't go to jail. The justice system in America is completely fucked

Its worse than that. She did everything right and others made and admitted the error. Yet she gets 6 years.

Then there are the cases of the guys who voted using their dead spouses mail in ballots - including one guy who went all over right wing world using her illegal ballot as "proof" of voter fraud (remember, a ballot he filled out illegally) - got probation or no more than 3 days in jail. (All Trump voters, btw).

Thus one lady who voted illegally through bad advice from proper sources. 6 years.
2 guys who deliberately committed fraud. No more than 3 days.

Of these situations, who is black and who is white?

So you react to this by Trumping.
1: It's an incomplete telling of what happened. She didn't register to vote and went to prison, she voted when she wasn't legally allowed to do so. Also she got a form saying she wasn't on probation when she knew she was. Yes it was an offical's error but even if she did not know her voting rights she knew she was on probation.
"
During Moses’ trial, prosecutors argued that she knew she was ineligible to vote when she submitted the certificate. They pointed to the fact that she submitted it even though a judge had recently told her she was ineligible.

“Even knowing that order denied her expiration of sentence, Pamela Moses submitted that form with her application for voter registration and signed an oath as to the accuracy of the information submitted,” prosecutors wrote in their request for an indictment. “Pamela Moses knowingly made or consented to a false entry on her permanent registration.”"

This is not just someone going to prison for registering to vote. What's next, Bernardo went to prison for having sex?

2: I don't know but I'd hazard a guess that the 6 years were not just because she voted illegally but also that she was on probation. I am not fully versed in *Ape Law like Mandrill or Dr Zaius but I'd hazard a guess that if you do a crime while on probation you get hit much harder. She also has an extensive criminal history. First time Ape offenders get treated much less harshly than Apes on probation and with extensive histories regardless of race.

The Black woman sentenced to six years in prison over a voting error

Pamela Moses was sentenced to six years in prison for trying to register despite a felony conviction but officials admitted making a series of mistakes

I can't read the fox news article without turning off my adblocker and this one seems to be a bit more detailed.

Activist sentenced in voter fraud case, DA says

Local Black Lives Matter activist Pamela Moses was sentenced to six years and one day in prison following her November 2021 conviction.

www.fox13memphis.com

"According to the D.A.’s office, Moses, 44, has 16 prior criminal convictions and committed the voting offense while on probation."


* Should have to point this out but Soylent Green are Apes. Planet of the Apes was a campy mess and I more often than not refer to law as ape law.

This isn't true.

As for the people who committed fraud and got a slap on the wrist. They probably don't have 16 previous convictions and were on probation when they did their crimes. Find a case where a white person who is a habitual criminal and on probation did what she did and some black people who illegally voted as a first time offense to make a political statement and see what happens.

Apples should be compared with apples.

Which makes it an error, not an intentional crime.
6 years for someone else's error is totally fucked.
She only gets this serious a sentence because she's black.

There will be people on the streets again for BLM soon at this rate.
