Court overturns sentence in SUV fire
By Bill Bishop

Published: Thursday, February 15, 2007
The Oregon Court of Appeals on Wednesday overturned the 22-year sentence given to environmental activist Jeffrey Michael Luers for burning three SUVs at the former Romania truck lot and for trying to set fire to the Tyree Oil Co. in Eugene.
The court upheld all 10 of Luers' felony convictions from his 2001 trial, but ruled that he was improperly sentenced to back-to-back prison terms in each of the crimes.

It is great news that the excessively punitive sentence of Lane County Circuit Court Judge Lyle Velure has been UNANIMOUSLY rejected by the Oregon court of appeals.
