In the EDCA eco-terrorism prosecution, U.S. v. Eric McDavid, EDCA No. 06-0035-MCE, 9th Cir. No. 08-10250, the Ninth Circuit today affirmed McDavid's conviction and sentence, rejecting a variety of legal claims in an unpublished memorandum decision. See U.S. v. McDavid, 9/21/10.
[Added 9/22/10]: Defense attorney Mark Reichel said he will "absolutely" seek review of the decision by an 11-member circuit panel. "This is the biggest miscarriage of justice I could ever imagine," Reichel said. Sacramento Bee, 9/22/10.
