Found it!: Case dropped against Memphis woman sentenced to prison on illegal voting charges
The Shelby County District Attorney’s office dropped its case against Pamela Moses, the Memphis woman sentenced to six years in prison on charges of illegal voting.
Shelby County Criminal Judge Mark Ward ordered a new trial for Moses after the district attorney’s office turned over a key piece of evidence that was previously misplaced by the Department of Corrections.
Moses was originally convicted by a jury of illegally registering to vote in a November 2021 trial. In February, she was sentenced to six years in prison.
