Q: During the trial, dozens of spectators filled two courtrooms to support Sister Megan Rice and 64-year-old Vietnam War veteran Michael Walli, both of whom live in the District, and Greg Boertje-Obed, a 57-year-old house painter who lives in Duluth, Minn. In the predawn hours of July 28 last year, the three activists hiked over a wooded ridge and were able to enter the site unimpeded because of a series of deficient security measures, including inoperable surveillance cameras and a monitoring system that was compromised by routine false alarms. 
  
 As the jury left the courtroom at U.S. District Court in downtown Knoxville just after 6 p.m., supporters sang softly toward the activists: “Love, love, love, love. People, we are made for love.” Rice, smiling and wearing a T-shirt imprinted with “I wish to live without war,” turned up her palms and bowed to supporters. 
  
 Judge Amul Thapar ordered the trio into custody but scheduled a hearing for Thursday on the merits of their detention. After the verdict, the judge and lawyers could not agree on whether harming the national defense — which falls under the “sabotage” chapter of the U.S. code — is a “crime of violence” and therefore requires immediate remanding. The activists have been free and compliant with the terms of their release since their initial arrest and incarceration. 
  
 “Pretty obscene but not terribly surprising,” said Baltimore resident Ellen Barfield, a supporter of the activists who spoke about the verdict to the news media outside the courthouse. “Did they have to slam them into jail?” 
  
 In its closing arguments, the defense contended that the activists intruded into Y-12 as a symbolic act in support of the peaceful transformation of nuclear-weapons programs to nonviolent initiatives. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Theodore argued that the activists’ intent was to target and disrupt operations at Y-12 — which closed for two weeks after the break-in to beef up security — and that such a disruption hindered national-defense preparedness and the credibility of the U.S. nuclear deterrent. 
  
 “Y-12 makes nuclear weapons for the national defense,” Theodore told the jury. “When you interfere with Y-12, you interfere with the national defense of the United States. . . . Do you excuse what a burglar did because the homeowner was a little lax with security?” 
  
 “Three senior citizens showing up with backpacks is a threat to the United States of America?” defense attorney William Quigley asked rhetorically. “That threatens us? I don’t think so. . . . Opposing [nuclear weapons] is not something that opposes the national defense of the United States.” 
  
 Earlier Wednesday on Capitol Hill, at a Senate subcommittee hearing on strategic forces programs, the acting administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration called the Y-12 intrusion “completely unacceptable” and an “important wake-up call.” The security administration is a semiautonomous agency within the Energy Department that is tasked with securing and managing the country’s nuclear weapons and material. 
  
 “The severity of the failure of leadership at Y-12 has demanded swift, strong and decisive action by the department,” said acting administrator Neile Miller, according to the Associated Press. “Since the Y-12 incursion, major actions have taken place to improve security immediately, and for the long term.” 
  
 Sentencing for Rice, Walli and Boertje-Obed is expected within four months. Together, the two felonies carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. Defense attorneys have filed a motion for acquittal on the “sabotage” charge because they think the government did not provide sufficient evidence to sustain a conviction. 
  
 As the defendants were led out of the courtroom and into custody, supporters called out, “Thank you, Michael!” and “Thank you, Greg!” and “Thank you, Megan!” ||||| KNOXVILLE—The Catholic nun, house painter, and laborer who broke into the Y-12 National Security Complex in July and splashed human blood and spray-painted slogans on a uranium storage building were found guilty on two federal counts Wednesday, one charging them with property depredation of more than $1,000 and the other alleging they willfully injured national defense premises. 
  
 The three protesters—Megan Rice, 83; Michael R. Walli, 64; and Greg Boertje-Obed, 57—were taken to the Blount County jail after the verdict was read at the end of a two-day trial in U.S. District Court in Knoxville. Dozens of courtroom supporters sang softly as the three anti-nuclear weapons activists were taken into custody after about 2.5 hours of deliberations by the nine men and three women on the jury panel. 
  
 Boertje-Obed, Rice, and Walli have a detention hearing on Thursday morning. Each faces up to 30 years in prison. 
  
 During the trial and in media interviews, the protesters acknowledged sneaking into Y-12 before dawn on July 28 and cutting through three fences in a high-security Protected Area before vandalizing the Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility, where most of the nation’s bomb-grade uranium is stored. But they said their unprecedented intrusion was peaceful, religiously motivated, and nonviolent, a symbolic disarming of Y-12. 
  
 Prosecutors, however, argued that the security breach significantly disrupted Y-12 and interfered with the national defense. A secret shipment of materials that had been scheduled to arrive at the 811-acre plant on July 28 had to be delayed, and nuclear operations shut down for about two weeks, prosecutors and government witnesses said. The breach damaged Y-12’s credibility, and it cost $8,532 to repair fences and pressure wash and paint damaged walls and barricades, the prosecution and its witnesses said. 
  
 “The defendants intended to cause an interruption with Y-12 operations,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Theodore said during closing arguments Wednesday afternoon. “When you interfere with Y-12, you are interfering with the national defense of the United States.” 
  
 But defense attorney Bill Quigley of New Orleans, co-counsel for Walli, compared the protesters to a thermometer that has registered a fever-level temperature. The protesters had helped illuminate the need to make crucial security system repairs, including to a critical camera that hadn’t been working, he argued. 
  
 “Our country is not threatened by these people who can get senior discounts and walk onto this place,” Quigley said. 
  
 The defendants testified that they did not intend to disrupt Y-12 operations. 
  
 “Our intent was to bring healing and forgiveness and love,” Rice said. “I want to transform nuclear weapons by dismantling and recycling.” 
  
 “We did not intend to injure or destroy the national defense,” Boertje-Obed said. 
  
 Theodore said other demonstration locations would have been available to the protesters, including the New Hope Center at Y-12 and A.K. Bissell Park in Oak Ridge. 
  
 Wednesday’s verdict came roughly nine months after the security breach, which led to staff changes, federal investigations, congressional hearings, a temporary shutdown in nuclear operations, the firing of a security guard, and the termination of a contract with former security company WSI Oak Ridge. The intrusion at Y-12, the “Fort Knox of Uranium,” surprised many and embarrassed government and contractor officials. 
  
 Earlier charges of misdemeanor trespassing and felony property destruction against the three protesters had been dropped or dismissed. 
  
 It’s only the fourth time nuclear weapons protesters have been charged with federal offenses at Y-12, and the first time defendants have faced felony charges, said Ralph Hutchison, coordinator of the Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance, which organizes regular vigils and demonstrations at the plant. 
  
 It is possible that the defendants could still be acquitted on the most serious charge, the national defense charge. That charge by itself carries a prison sentence of up to 20 years. After the government rested its case Tuesday, the defense moved to acquit the protesters on that charge, saying the government didn’t have sufficient evidence to sustain a conviction. Specifically, the government hadn’t shown that Boertje-Obed, Rice, and Walli intended to interfere, injure, or obstruct the national defense, an intent that is required to convict them on that charge, Quigley said. 
  
 U.S. District Court Judge Amul Thapar hasn’t ruled on the motion to acquit yet.

A:
The 83-year-old Catholic nun and two other activists who broke into the country's only weapons-grade uranium processing facility last year have been found guilty of damaging government property and injuring national defense. The trio face up to 30 years each in prison, but won't know their fate until later today, reports Oak Ridge Today. Supporters in the courtroom sang "Love, love, love, love. People, we are made for love," as nun Megan Rice, Michael R. Walli, 64, and Greg Boertje-Obed, 57, were taken into custody, the Washington Post reports. The three activists cut through four chain fences and spray-painted biblical messages on the walls of the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where most of the country's weapons-grade uranium is stored. "Our intent was to bring healing and forgiveness and love," said Rice, but prosecutors say they caused $8,532 of damage to property and also threatened national defense. "Three senior citizens showing up with backpacks is a threat to the United States of America?” questioned their defense attorney. "That threatens us? I don’t think so ... Opposing [nuclear weapons] is not something that opposes the national defense of the United States."
