The appeals court ruled prosecutors misled grand jurors by mischaracterizing the legal standard, saying if jurors had known the truth, they likely wouldn’t have indicted her. The decision sets a high bar for future cases, emphasizing that “intentionally” means knowingly doing something wrong — a key distinction that could protect others wrongly targeted, especially those accidentally registered through DMV errors. Smith, who fought back and now feels vindicated, remains fearful of continued targeting of her community. The state is reviewing the ruling and may appeal to the Alaska Supreme Court — a move that could ripple through the remaining 10 cases and reshape how noncitizen voting violations are prosecuted across the state.
