When Peterson went to the courthouse in January, security asked screening questions to see if she could be allowed inside. She was honest about her ongoing symptoms and court staff told her she couldn't come in for her hearing.

The staffers told her she would still get her chance to talk to a judge.

"That's what she said, call the courts and you'll find out when your next court date is. That's what she said," Peterson remembered.

That isn't what actually happened.

A witness in the courtroom told the I-Team's PJ Randhawa that a deputy informed the judge that Peterson had arrived on time, but wouldn't be allowed in due to the courthouse's COVID-19 policy.

Despite having that information, the judge ruled against Peterson without scheduling a new hearing date. The landlord won a default judgment against Peterson that day.
