From Terry Tempest Williams' Facebook page:

Last day of DeChristopher trial. I keep writing "trail" instead of "trial." Whatever happens today in terms of verdict, this conversation will continue. Tim remains calm, cool, and centered. He is carrying the burden. Proof is our beautiful, broken planet.

From Bill McKibben:
