However, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliana noted that the pardons protects Peters from future federal prosecution. Nevertheless, the Times says this pardon \u201cappears to be symbolic.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>At IFA, we have covered the charged levied against Peters and the apparent abuse she is facing in prison. Let\u2019s continue to pray that God would strengthen her, and let\u2019s thank Him for this symbolic pardon!\n<\/p>\n<h4>Share your prayers for Tina Peters in the comments below.<\/h4>\n<p>(Excerpt from The Epoch Times.
