Jonathan Love is the prosecutor for the case] (From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, page B1, Wednesday, April 19th:) Love requested bail be set at $5000 pending arraignment tomorrow and expressed concerns about the release of Rice. "The defendant stated he would continue to shoot at Exxon stations until they did something in Alaska about the oil spill," Love told the court. "At the rate Exxon is progressing, it is best that Mr. Rice remain in jail." -- Greg Barnes greg@cs.washington.edu -- Edited by Brad Templeton.
