A man who denied firebombing an animal researcher's laboratory at Michigan State University in 1992 even as he pleaded guilty now admits he carried out the attack.
Rodney Coronado tells the Lansing State Journal that he doesn't regret the attack and admits to participating in attacks of other universities and private fur farms with members of the Animal Liberation Front in the early 1990s. He says he firebombed the lab of a MSU researcher studying minks to fight what he saw as animal abuse.
Coronado was indicted in 1995. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four years and nine months in prison and ordered to pay $2.5 million in restitution.
Coronado has since moved to Grand Rapids and heads a nonprofit group called the Great Lakes Wolf Patrol.
