1999 MSU Arsonist Sentenced Today

The government says a 20-year prison sentence for a woman who committed arson at Michigan State University would be the toughest punishment ever in a case of so-called eco-terrorism. Marie Mason is due in federal court at 9 a.m. today.
The explosion and fire at Michigan State's Agriculture Hall in 1999 was a protest against genetically modified crops. Damage exceeded $1 million. Prosecutors want a 20-year prison sentence for the 47-year-old Cincinnati woman.
Mason's lawyer says that would be extreme. Mason has admitted other acts from 1999 through 2003, including fires at homes under construction in southeastern Michigan and Indiana. Her ex-husband is in prison for nine years. Two other people will be sentenced for minor roles.

You bet and I just noticed it should be thirteen and not twelve, I didn’t add Lacey Phillabaum to the count.

I thought you might be interested in this since you posted the thread re: her husband's sentencing.

Arson can be a life sentence.
The b!tch should be happy with her sentence.
She cost me,personally, money.

Double the prison time of all involved and I still wouldn’t be satisfied.
