Birth-year source
- Los Angeles Times, August 14, 1991 — identifies Ilse Asplund as 37 when the Earth First defendants entered pleas, supporting 1954 as her birth year.
The Mabon1991 EarthFirst! ArizonaFive report individually names Ilse Asplund and MarcBaker as pleading to knowledge of a felonious act and failure to report it, described here as reported misprision of felony. This refines the existing unspecified reduced-charge description; the precise statutory section remains unverified. It supplies no new actual jail admission or final discharge. The source’s future prison-reporting announcement does not replace the separately corroborated October3 admission, and house detention or suspended time is not counted as physical imprisonment.
