Biography
Beth was a Kentucky anti-nuclear activist who crossed the line at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, TN on July 5, 2010 with the Independence Day disarmament action group. Sentenced September 21, 2011 to one month at Knox County Detention Facility and taken into custody same day.
Contemporary reports of the May 11, 2011 Y-12 trial describe a federal jury trespass conviction arising from the July 5, 2010 action in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Judge Bruce Guyton presided, and Jeff Theodore and Melissa Milliken acted for the prosecution. This account does not place Beth Rosdatter among the seven newly remanded defendants.
