Charges have been dropped against Memphis BLM founder Pamela Moses who had been sentenced in January to over six years in prison for illegally registering to vote back in 2019. At the sentencing, Judge Michael Ward accused Moses of deceiving the probation department in order to be able to vote. "You tricked the probation department into giving you documents saying you were off probation," Ward said in court. Even though the system said that Moses remained on unsupervised probation, Billington thought this was a mistake. The person who handled the file, he believed, forgot to close out the case when the supervised probation ran out.
