Sarahjane Blum was jailed following an animal-rights video screening at Syracuse University and released the next day on bail. Overnight detention followed by bail; exact dates and later outcome unknown.
The government’s August 2013 appellate brief acknowledges Blum’s 2004 guilty plea to trespass in connection with releasing ducks from a farm. In his first-person account, fellow investigator Ryan Shapiro reports that both were convicted of misdemeanor trespass and sentenced to community service. This supplies the later legal outcome of the duck-rescue prosecution without adding another prison term.
