Rubin rose before Chief U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken in Portland, where she pleaded guilty to a dozen crimes in Colorado, Oregon and California as part of the underground Earth Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Front.
...
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen F. Peifer recounted Rubin's crimes as part of the largest group of eco-saboteurs ever taken down by the FBI. They called themselves The Family and committed an estimated $40 million in damage from 1996 to 2001.
...
the terms of the highly structured plea agreement sets limits on the number of years Rubin will spend in prison. She has agreed not to ask the judge for a sentence of less than five years, and the government has agreed not to ask for more than 7 1/2 years.
Aiken will have the final say. She set Rubin's sentencing for Jan. 27.
As part of the bargain, Rubin has agreed to assist the government by telling the FBI and prosecutors every detail she could remember about the crimes she committed. But she was firm on one point: She would never tell them the names or otherwise identify any other participants in her crimes, or any actions attributed to the Animal Liberation Front or Earth Liberation Front.

And the prosecution agreed to her terms why? Was their case so weak they couldn’t otherwise send her to prison?

$40 Million in damages gets her 7 1/2 years???
What a joke.
To: ridesthemiles
She should’ve gotten 40 years, with a possible decrease for each name she provided. At a minimum.

Yep Dibee and Overaker are still out there and if this plea deal hadn't been accepted she may had fingered at least one of them or at least given some clues about their whereabouts.
Her singing should have been mandatory for a light sentence, it's hard to believe she's getting off easy on this.

She should have gotten a job with the “sierra club.” Every bit as destructive, and yet legal.
