Rod Coronado: guilty

Rod Coronado & Matt Crozier were found guilty in federal court of:

-Felony conspiracy to interfere with or injure a government official (max 7 years)

-Misdemeanor interference with or injury to a forest officer (max 6 months)

-Misdemeanor “depredation” (theft or destruction or the attempt to do so) of government property (max 1 year).

The charges relate to an Earth First! campaign to prevent mountain lions from being captured or killed by hunters in Tucson, Arizona in March 2004.

The prosecution alleged that using the media as part of a campaign now constitutes “conspiracy and intimidation.”
