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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
He could face five to 20 years in prison.<br><br>
