A five-year sentence has been recommended for Paul, whom prosecutors say was a member of the ALF at the time the slaughterhouse was destroyed by fire on July 21, 1997. The plant, which suffered more than $1 million in damage, was not rebuilt.

The arson charge carries a potential maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
