By Karen Geney I
Gamecock Staff Writor [ ';
Although 114 anti-nuclear r|
demonstrators in the Barnwell m
protest were convicted Tuesday,
presiding Judge Roland Jones told
them the sentence had nothing to
do with their cause.
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

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.
