Pair Plead Guilty in Ecoterror Bombing
From Times Wire Reports
Two women pleaded guilty in Tacoma to conspiracy, arson and bomb charges in the 2001 firebombing of the University of Washington’s horticulture center, which was studying hybrid poplars.
Jennifer Kolar, 33, and Lacey Phillabaum, 31, were released without bail after entering the pleas. Authorities said the two turned themselves in and have cooperated with ongoing investigations. Under their plea agreements, prosecutors will ask the court to sentence Kolar to five to seven years in prison and Phillabaum to three to five years.
