A federal jury in Washington resumed deliberation in the arson trial of an Oakland woman accused of an ecoterror arson as flames were burning at another fire claimed by the Earth Liberation Front.
The defense lawyer for 32-year-old Briana Waters asked for a mistrial because of the possible effect of the news on jurors. After questioning the jury, the judge refused the motion.
The case against Waters went to the jury on Friday. Prosecutors in Tacoma say she was the lookout in 2001 when the Earth Liberation Front set fire to the Center for Urban Horticulture at the University of Washington in Seattle.
