May 31, 2007 EUGENE A federal judge today sentenced an Applegate woman to more than four years in prison for her role in a string of arsons around the West that caused more than $40 million in damage over a five-year period.
Suzanne Savoie was the fifth of 10 radical environmentalists to be sentenced in U.S. District Court in Eugene after they pleaded guilty to arson and conspiracy charges. All were members of an underground cell of the Earth Liberation Front known as The Family.
The sentence imposed by U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken was eight months less than the proposed sentence in a plea bargain with Savoie in order to recognize her cooperation with investigators and the fact that she left the conspiracy in 2001 and has committed no crimes since then.
Savoie was convicted of particpating in two arsons, the first at Superior Lumber Co. in Glendale in January 2001, and the second at the Jefferson Poplar Farm...

Four years. You can bet that if they’d targeted abortion clinics instead they’d have gotten more realistic sentences.
These people are truly dangerous.
Guilty!
She'll fit right in with the prison population.
These folks THINK they’re pretty bad....
hee hee.
Wait till they get to PRISON...!!!
Thank you
Absolutely...Hopefully the sentencing of these nuts will deter others. There's still four on the loose they haven't caught and one that's plead not guilty.
Yep, by the time they get out I don’t think any of them will be wanting to go back.
Can’t we bring back burning at the stake? Compared to what these people do and advocate its quite civilized.
Federal sentencing is how the states should sentence also, there would probably be fewer repeat offenders.
She has crazy eyes, Like John McCain.
Yeah, she looks like a mannish Tom Cruise...
I was thinking James Belushi.
LOL! She’s got over four years to work on her looks but I doubt it’ll do much good.
Guilty.
Man, I want to get the court transcripts so I can see what these losers had to say for themselves. (I’m sorry, I find watching people get an extra-strong dose of reality entertaining)
It looks to me like when each one of these turkeys were nailed they couldn’t start ratting each other out fast enough to lighten their sentences.
