Memphis BLM founder Pamela Moses sentenced to 6 years
Pamela Moses said she had taken all the steps to restore her voting rights in Tennessee.
Moses, a Black Lives Matter activist and former DEMOCRAT mayoral candidate in Memphis, had an extensive record of felony convictions, including a conviction for tampering with evidence that caused her to permanently lose her voting rights in the state.
She says she didn’t know she had lost her rights when she pleaded guilty.
But there was a problem.
Moses has maintained that she thought her voting rights were restored, noting in court, “I did not falsify anything.” Her defense only angered Criminal Court Judge W. Mark Ward, who said she had intentionally deceived probation officials to restore her voting rights.
“You tricked the probation department into giving you documents saying you were off probation,” Ward said in court.
So when the 44-year-old submitted the certificate as part of her voter registration, she was charged with trying to illegally register to vote.
After she was convicted last November, Moses was sentenced this week to six years and one day in prison.
