Jones, a magistrate from Spartanburg, said the protesters could be right. He said he didn't know the difference between Chem-Nuclear and Allied General Nuclear Services before the trail began. MICHAEL LOWE, spokesman for the Palmetto Alliance, thinks Jones learned a lot about nuclear 1 f . A. I A * _ 1 power aunng ine inai. "At the end of the trial, Jones said he felt bad about giving jail terms because he didn't like ChemNuclear either," Lowe said. The trial of the 115 anti-nuclear demonstrators ended Tuesday ( with the conviction of 114. One woman was found not guilty for lack of evidence. Jones sentenced those convicted to 30 days in jail. He then suspended the sentence to rlotrc tVin rlAfnn tut vv uujr o, pi u v ivilu uiu ucicu* dants report to the Barnwell County Jail within 90 days. THE DEFENDANTS pleaded no contest to the charges against them. Lowe said the defendants chose to olead no contest, but did oresent witnesses to explain their reasons for trespassing. They also chose this plea, Lowe said, in order to make their story much shorter. The defense had difficulty bringing expert witnesses and personal beliefs into the trial, Lowe said. It took them three hours to aualifv one person as a witness, he said.' At other times, when protestors have trespassed, they have been charged with "refusal to leave property without good cause or legal excuse," Lowe said. This time, they were charged with "trespass on agricultural lands." Lowe said they had a very narrow defense legally. TRIALS HELD in January resulted in the conviction of 46 demonstrators arrested last October.' Sixteen demonstrators arrested at the Chem-Nuclear plant were given sentences similar to the AGNS protestors. Thirty persons arrested at the Savannah River Plant received 10-day suspended sentences. Jones said those arrested at the Savannah River Plant cited religious reasons for their protest and spent most or the day in prayer. ."Their motives were different," he said, and so they received lighter sentences. fifeS. lS| K^^HRhSHL ^HL Dave Matthews ?
