A Black Lives Matter activist sentenced to prison earlier this year after being convicted of illegal voter registration had her criminal charges dropped and will no longer face a new trial, a district attorney said on Friday.
Pamela Moses, 44, described by some outlets as the founder of a BLM chapter in Memphis, was sentenced in January to six years and one day after being convicted of illegally registering to vote in Tennessee as a convicted felon. Moses had felony convictions in 2015, making her ineligible to register to vote.
