The Court Reporters Board of California is citing and fining a Sonoma County court reporter one thousand dollars. Becki Peterson is accused of producing and certifying two varying transcripts of the same hearing in 2013. The hearing involved a former couple’s divorce case. One of the parties in the divorce case, Mark Andrews, filed a police report against Peterson. Officials with the Court Reporters Board say she displayed unprofessional conduct, gross negligence and incompetence in practice. Peterson has been a shorthand court reporter in Sonoma County for more than three decades.
