[Shadow_Group] ELP has some bad news

[shadowgroup-l at lists.resist.ca]

It is with deep regret that ELP (Earth Liberation Prisoners) has to announce that William "Billy" Cottrell has testified against others at his trial.

Earlier this week, William "Billy" Cottrell testified that he had been present at the scene of an Earth Liberation Front action.  He admitted to painting ELF slogans and to causing criminal damage.  However he then went onto say that he did not start any fires and named two people, Tyler Johnson and Michie Oe, who he claims were responsible for the fires.

It should be noted that, as has been proven time and time again, you can not trust the word of a police informant, as they will happily name innocent people to get themselves off the hook and no charges have ever been bought against Tyler or Michie, although the FBI have now named them as "fugitive 
co-conspirators".

A full report on Cottrell's trial will appear in the next issue of "Spirit of Freedom (January 2005)" and ELP will be putting out a joint statement with the former "Free Billy Support Network" in the next few days, after Cottrell has been sentenced.  (The "Free Billy Support Network" has been
dissolved because of Cottrell's decision to blame others).

However as of now Cottrell is regarded as a police informant and will receive no more support from ELP.

ELP would like to apologise to all those who have supported Cottrell and we would remind everyone that although Cottrell has turned traitor there are many other good prisoners who need our support and we hope this will not put you off supporting them.
