Is Briana Waters a terrorist?
In an alarming case, U.S. attorneys exploited post-9/11 counterterrorism policies to pursue and prosecute an environmental activist.
By Tracy Tullis [2008-03-27]

  • Reasonable doubt

    If the prosecution claims that you were hiding in a bush, then they have to show beyond a reasonable doubt that you did so. That condition is not met if there is reasonable doubt that you could have been there. I believe that the judge did not properly instruct the jury. I have no legal expertise; so I might have this wrong. Does anyone know better?
