Lorna Roxanne Green, Five Years In Prison And Three Years Of Probation
A 22-year-old woman named Lorna Roxanne Green has been sentenced to five years in prison for setting fire to a clinic that provides abortions in Casper last year. Lorna Roxanne Green pleaded guilty to federal arson charges and will also serve a three-year probation period and pay around $250,000 in restitution.
The judge stated that the five-year prison sentence is the minimum required for this crime committed by Lorna Roxanne Green. The arson caused by Lorna Roxanne Green almost cost $300,000 in damages and delayed the clinic’s opening by almost a year.
Prosecutors say the sentence to Lorna Roxanne Green reflects the seriousness of the crime. The founder of the clinic where Lorna Roxanne Green caused havoc hopes this sends a message that anti-abortion violence is unacceptable.
According to a published article by Wyoming Public Media, Lorna Roxanne Green and Lorna Roxanne Green’s parents accept the punishment but are heartbroken by her incarceration.
Anxiety And Nightmares
In a published article by AP News, Green admitted to acting alone and said she did not intend to cause fear or make a political statement but struggled to handle her emotions about the clinic.
The judge referenced Green’s childhood, which involved emotional and physical abuse by her parents.
Green opposed abortion and said anxiety and nightmares about the clinic led her to burn it.
