ELFer Guilty

posted by on March 6 at 11:00 AM

From the PI:

A federal jury has found accused Earth Liberation Front arsonist Briana Waters guilty of two charges stemming from the firebombing of a University of Washington research center.

Both charges carry a minimum of five years in prison.

The jury deadlocked on more serious charges, including arson conspiracy and possession and use of a destructive device.

"Prosecutors say phone records, rental car records and testimony indicate Waters was in contact with at least some of the other alleged conspirators around the time of the fire."

Sounds like the jury was wise not to use such thin evidence to indict her of conspiracy. Hard to assess the jurors' other verdicts, since the PI's story doesn't even say what the two less serious counts are (some reporting...).

Well, she'll have some time to read some Gandhi and figure out how things should get done.
