A Key Point Missing
Tracy Tullis seems to be saying that this kind arson isn't that big a deal and the war on "eco-terrorism" is government run amuck. Still, the clear theme of this story is that Briana is completely innocent and was railroaded to prison through the use of perjured testimony of participants saving their own skin. She neglected to mention that there was other evidence that clearly supported their version of events. One of the witnesses claimed Briana provided a rental car for their getaway. Briana's cousin testified that he rented a car for her that day and all the rental receipts and a paper trail of the $200 she paid him were all provided. She was actually lucky to get a hung jury on the more serious counts. I find this little "omission” pretty sleazy.
