Rod recieved an eight month sentence and was taken into custody at about noon today. The judge felt that it was very important to preserve fear of/respect for the law, otherwise anarchy may prevail.

He also received 3 years probation and is not to post anything; print, internet, interview..., with any animal rights or environmental organization that is associated with violence, including but not limited to EF!, ALF & ELF. The government was very aggresive in their assertion that dismantling the lion trap and spreading feline urine were violent acts. The judge concurred.

Matt received 3 year probation for the same conviction. He is to remain sober and also not associate with any undesirables.

As far as I know this is all pretty much what was expected though those closer to it all may know different?

Animal activist Rodney Coronado was sentenced to eight months in prison and three years supervised probation this morning for his role in the disruption of a 2004 mountain lion hunt in Sabino Canyon.

Coronado, a Tucsonan, was convicted in December of conspiracy to impede or injure an officer of the United States, a felony, and misdemeanor counts of interfering with a forest officer and depredation of government property. He was also ordered to pay $100 restitution.
