In June 01, 23 year old forest defence activist Jeffrey "Free" Luers was sentenced to
22 years and 8 months in prison for the burning of 3 Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV's) in
Eugene, Oregon along with ‘Craig ‘Critter’ Marshal’. To make a statement about
global warming. Both activists took measures to make sure that no one would be injured
as a result of their action and scouted the location for months beforehand. An
arson specialist later confirmed that the action did not pose any threat to people
based on its size and distance from any fuel source. Despite the fact that this action
hurt no one, caused only $40,000 in damages and the cars were later resold, Jeff
was sent to prison for a sentence considerably longer than those convicted of murder,
kidnapping and rape in Oregon
state.
Free's appeal was filed in January 2002
with the state response filed in July 2003
and his lawyer's reply brief in March
2004. Orel arguments are expected in
April or May 2004.
