Environmental activist Jeffrey Michael Luers will be released from prison
after serving half of his original 22-year sentence under an a agreement
approved Thursday by Lane County Circuit Judge Jack Billings. With credit
for time served, Luers, 29, could be released in December 2009, or earlier
if he qualifies for a 6-month boot camp program, his attorneys said. The
new sentence comes a year after the Oregon Court of Appeals ruled Luers
was improperly sentenced to back-to-back prison terms for burning three
SUVs at the former Romania truck lot and for trying to set fire to the
Tyree Oil Co. in Eugene in 2000.
