"She said she joined the investigation only after others had already entered the property. I'm grateful that (the chickens) were able to get the care that they need, Rosenberg said when asked by her attorney, Chris Carraway, how she felt about the incident. Carraway questioned her through much of Friday afternoon before Deputy District Attorney Matthew Hobson began cross-examination. After about 30 minutes, Judge Kenneth Gnoss ended proceedings and ordered the trial to resume Monday afternoon."
"Prosecutors allege Rosenberg entered Petaluma Poultry multiple times that spring, accessed company computers, placed GPS trackers on delivery trucks and removed four chickens from a trailer while about 50 members of her activist group, Direct Action Everywhere, or DxE, demonstrated outside. Authorities arrested her that November outside the courthouse, shortly after DxE co-founder Wayne Hsiung was sentenced to 90 days in jail and two years' probation in a similar trespassing and conspiracy case."
