Climate activist and retiree Leonard Higgins was found guilty on Wednesday After a short trial lasting just a day and a half. He was convicted of a felony charge for his role in the “valve turner” protest last year that resulted in the brief shutdown of a tar sands pipeline in Montana.
According to the 65-year-old former state worker from Portland, Oregon, he’d carried out the protest to raise awareness about the dangers of climate change.
