Judge Matthew Barrett condemned Tina Peters' actions, stating, 'You are no hero. You abused your position, and you're a charlatan who used ... peddle a snake oil that's been proven to be junk time and time again.' This statement underscores the court's severe disapproval of her actions as a public figure.
During her sentencing, Peters maintained her innocence, stating, 'I'm not a criminal, and I don't deserve to go into a prison where other people have committed heinous crimes,' reflecting her refusal to take full responsibility for her actions.
Judge Barrett expressed skepticism about Peters' remorse, saying, 'I'm convinced you would do it all over again if you could. You're as defiant a defendant as this court has ever seen,' highlighting her ongoing denial and defiance.
Barrett also pointed out the impact of Peters' actions, saying, 'You crave this attention, ma'am. In your world, it's all about you,' indicating that her behavior has been detrimental to community trust.
