Janice Marianne Orson was among six people arrested in a Richmond, California house raid on February21,1976 and booked on federal unauthorized-possession-of-destructive-devices charges. Dragon identifies the raid as part of the investigation following the Marin County arrests and disputes press conflation of New Dawn, the Emiliano Zapata Unit and NWLF. The article does not establish individual organizational membership or guilt, a court disposition or physical release.

The later New Dawn report identifies Janice Orson among four sentenced August 9, 1976, specifying one and one-half years for conspiracy to move and store explosives after reduction from nine counts to one. Members were serving time; the imposed term is not measured time served. The source image reads Ellen Kees, not automatic OCR Resen.
