Federal court jury finds man guilty in eco-terror plot

After deliberating for 11 hours over two days, a federal court jury 
has found Eric McDavid guilty of conspiring to blow up government and 
other facilities as part of an eco-terror plot.

The verdict came late Thursday afternoon following a trial that 
relied heavily on the testimony of an undercover FBI informant who 
was known to jurors only as "Anna" and who presented evidence of 
conversations McDavid and two companions had about blowing up the 
Nimbus Dam, a U.S. Forest Service facility in Placerville and other targets.

Two of McDavid's co-conspirators accepted plea deals from the 
government and testified in the case. McDavid's lawyer argued that he 
was a victim of entrapment by "Anna" because of the money and help 
she provided the conspirators.

He could face five to 20 years in prison.
