They told her she could register to vote. Why should she be in prison for their error?

Simple answer IMO, she is black. Meanwhile I can list at least a dozen instances white Trump supporters INTENTIONALLY committing vote fraud and they get either probation or a few days in jail.
This is the woman who got 6 years for her mistake that I've mentioned a few times. Since some claim ignorance on how black people are treated by the CJS this details her story.

The simple answer, and perhaps not one you want to hear, is that people are so internally damaged by their own self hate they can't sympathize with the misfortune of others. In the first place negative facts bring us closer to our own inner negativity we are anxious to avoid in addition to the fact we are afraid to really care. We were an infinite potential of love as children and look where that got us. The racism thingi is just an aspect of this inner disease. Our minds are built to distinguish one thing from another, a snake from it's background, etc, and that just gets co-opted by the need to judge others by some defining characteristic as a means to feel superior. The ego is the superior classification that is erected to save us from constant memory of how worthless we were made to feel. We have a need to feel superior to others because we feel worthless at core. And the whole structure is built on a lie that there was something wrong with us. I suggest that you focus less of the defects of the racists and focus more on knowing that there is nothing wrong with you, period, much less because of your skin color. That is an evolutionary gift to keep you from getting cancer in the intense sunlight around the equator.

Saw earlier that they were going to review her case. Hopefully this gets overturned. What makes it harder to compare the cases is they occur in different states that have different laws for election fraud. That said there certainly is bias.

Malicious prosecution is the real problem here. Any DA with scruples would hear the story and know there's nothing to do. How we our politics favor being tough on crime meaning DAs want to go after people who are probably innocent mostly for the politics of it particularly if you're black or brown.

I hope the case gets overturned and she sues the DA for malicious prosecution

Malicious prosecution only works if the person you are suing lost in the underlying case. AFAIK this woman was convicted by a jury. Hence there can be no action for malicious prosecution. It's the same if the underlying case is civil rather than criminal. Only a losing plaintiff can be sued for MP.

OP's link is broken.

Isn't this your second thread about this case and on the same topic?

What is also fucked up is that her sentence is 6yrs, but the 1/6 insurrectionists who actively broke into the capital to overthrow the govt only gets 6 mos...

If the story as written is correct, is there any redress for the woman other than a new trial?

Not hard to compare. They all occur in different states and in EVERY instance the black person gets the harshest sentence.
