The woman convicted in an ecoterror attack at the University of Washington has been sentenced to six years in prison.
KIRO-TV reports that Briana Waters asked for mercy because she has a 3-year-old daughter.
Prosecutors had recommended a 10-year sentence. Her lawyer asked for no more than a year-and-a-half.
Waters was taken into custody after Thursday's sentencing in federal court in Tacoma. She had been convicted March 6 of arson, and her lawyer is working on an appeal.
The 32-year-old from Berkeley, Calif., was an Evergreen State College student who acted as a lookout in 2001 when others set fire to the Center for Urban Horticulture in Seattle. The Earth Liberation Front claimed responsibility because it believed, mistakenly, a researcher was genetically modifying poplar trees.
