Powell faced a problem when Hall flipped, because he had potentially incriminating evidence against her. Powell was initially accused of racketeering and computer trespass crimes related to efforts to allow Republican election deniers gain unlawful access to voting machines in Coffee county. The plea deal formalizes Powell as the second defendant charged in the sprawling 2020 election subversion case brought by Fulton county prosecutors to plead guilty the first was a local Republican bail bondsman, Scott Hall. She was sentenced to six years’ probation, a $6,000 fine, $2,700 in restitution to the state, and is required to turn over documents and testify truthfully in her co-defendants’ trials. Powell pleaded guilty to six misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit interference with election duties.
