In The Estate of Judi Bari v. Doyle, C91-1057, the plaintiffs hope to convince a jury that Earth First organizers Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney were unjustly blamed for a May 1990 explosion that tore apart a Subaru station wagon while they were inside it. Cherney and Bari were never charged, but they were arrested shortly after the blast that shattered Bari’s pelvis. At the time, investigators said the activists were injured by a bomb they planned to use in anti-logging protests.
After asking several questions over the course of Friday and Monday about wording possibilities on the verdict forms, jurors Monday afternoon told U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken that they were ready to submit their decisions.
