A 17-year-old Suffolk County high school student
will plead guilty to charges stemming from a
series of arson fires that ELF may take
responsibility for.
The youth is the son of a New York City police
sergeant and agreed to cooperate with authorities
investigating ELF, the "eco-terror group." *
The court records from the case have been sealed,
but ABCNEWS affilliate WABC claims three other suspects
were in negotiations for plea bargains.
The youth is said to have agreed to be charged as an
adult, which could get him up to 20 years in prison,
according to Long Island newspaper Newsday Sunday, who
also cites unnamed sources.
Newsday reported, however, that the agreement avoided
possible charges for additional crimes, such as bomb-making,
and could lead to a sentence without jail time.
* without being able to sound out the sarcasm and the
quote marks of the term "eco terror group" via radio
I would prefer to keep that out of our vocabulary if
at all possible. Perhaps stop that paragraph at ELF
or explain that it's earth liberation or something.
