On Dec. 26th, 2007, attorneys for Briana Waters, a Berkeley mother and violin teacher accused of acting as a lookout for eco-saboteurs during an arson in 2001 at the University of Washington, filed a motion asserting that the prosecutor and FBI agents on the case committed perjury and obstruction of justice. In the court filing, attorney Robert Bloom charges that the Seattle-based federal agents and prosecutors suppressed evidence of Waters' innocence and prepared false FBI summaries of a witness interview incriminating Waters, and asked the court to conduct an inquiry into the misconduct.

The Waters case is scheduled to go to trial on Feb. 4th, 2008, in Tacoma, Washington before U.S. District Judge Franklin Burgess. Waters, who faces a potential 35 years in prison for alleged involvement in the "ecoterrorism" incident, steadfastly maintains her innocence. Full story | SupportBriana.org
