Animal activists charged with violence against UCLA researchers

Two animal liberation activists were charged with conspiracy, stalking
and other felonies today after attacks on UCLA researchers who perform
tests on animals and on the L.A.-based POM Wonderful Juice Co. Our
colleague Andrew Blankstein on the L.A. Now blog reports:

Linda Faith Greene, 61, and Kevin Richard Olliff, 22, who prosecutors
say are part of the radical Animal Liberation Front, pleaded not
guilty to the charges after their arrest Thursday. Greene was held on
$450,000 bail and Olliff on $460,000 bail.
The Los Angeles County grand jury indicted each defendant on three
counts of conspiracy to commit stalking, three counts of stalking and
two counts of conspiracy to commit the crime of threatening a public
officer or school employee.

In the most recent attack on a UCLA faculty member, neuroscientist J.
David Jentsch's car was set afire outside his Westside home.
