Wikipedia on Marie Mason.

Marie Mason (b. January 26, 1962) is an environmental activist from Cincinnati, Ohio, who in 2009 was sentenced to 22 years after admitting 13 counts of arson and property damage amounting to US$4 million.[1][2][3] Mason, a member of the Earth Liberation Front, was prosecuted for a 1999 attack on a building at Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, that caused more than US$1 million in damages,[3] undertaken as a protest against research into genetically modified crops.[1] A further US$3 million in damages included attacks on homes under construction, and on boats owned by a mink farmer.[3]
