Woman convicted in UW ecoterror case goes home ( Briana Waters )
ap ^ | Oct 17, 2010

The North American Animal Liberation press office says Briana Waters was released from prison Saturday.

The 34-year-old Waters was connected to a cell of radical environmentalists based in Olympia and in Oregon who carried out attacks throughout the West from 1996-2001, causing more than $80 million in damage.

Last month, an appeals court overturned Water's conviction of being guilty of helping an ecoterror attack that destroyed a University of Washington research center, concluding the judge made mistakes that cast doubt on the fairness of her trial.

‘Her daughter Kaliope’— now there’s a name. And how many teachers will pronounce it ‘Kall-i-ope,’ rhymes with dope, with the accent on the ‘ope.’ haha. And who would ever name your kid after a Merry-Go-Round??

Send her back. Make her pay the money back. How long was she in prison??

Absolutely!! She's as guilty as sin.

There was a story awhile back about her appeal being in her favor but that there was enough evidence to convict her. However due to judge's error they were overturning the conviction.

Retry her!

Why do you say that and have you followed her case as well as the others in “The Family?”

All the stuff ELF destroys get replaced.

All they do is double and then some of the Carbon Footprint required to make the stuff.

If they love the pristine NW they should leave it.

"Calliope" personified had some thing to do with Greek Mythology.

A "calliope" musical instrument was a steam powered organ. I think it was the History Channel that had a show on steam power - the one with Jay Leno show off his collection - and it also showed a calliope in use on the stern of a river steam paddle boat.

Correct -- and a "merry-go-round" is a "carousel"...

Uh... that would be the Ninth Circus but of course the AP would never mention that.

You are right!! And the calliope is that thing that makes ‘music’, sometimes for a carousel.

It’s been a long time since I rode those pretty horses...

Kally-ope, what a STUPID kids’ name.

Sure 'nuff is!

Don't recall riding a carousel with a calliope, but I do remember calliopes on circus wagons -- and here's one on a riverboat:
