Coleman Lie Master List

LIST OF MISTAKES & LIES page 3

Page	Coleman's mistake	Correction
102	“[ Anderson] then offered her a gun for self-protection, but again she refused. This seemed to call her claims about Sweeney into question…”	Anderson offered her a gun for protection against political threats, not Sweeney, as he stated to the Press-Democrat (6/9/90).
102	“…Bari was…secretly renting a cabin on the remote String Creek outside Willits and surreptitously moving one small box after another of her personal belongings…”	It was no secret that Bari planned to move to String Creek, but she didn't pay rent until after the bombing and she moved nothing there until after extensive remodeling because it wasn't raintight. The remodeling wasn't done until four months after the bombing.
113	“…the tiny mill town of Calpella in Mendocino County, where Louisiana-Pacific had set up their experimental chipboard mill.”	LP never manufactured chipboard in Mendocino County .
113	“…skinny little eighteen-inchers that Bari called ‘peckerwood.'”	The name was “pecker poles,” and it came from loggers, not Bari .
115	"When a company logging truck finally appeared at the gate, the group...sat down and blocked the road..."	No one sat down. The blockade was standing up.
115	"Cherney grabbed a guitar case to use as a club [at Lancaster blockade]."	Cherney didn't grab a guitar case or anything else to use as a club.
117	“Her car was totaled….she realized that the truck was from the same company they had blockaded.”	It wasn't just from the same company, it was the same truck and driver [Press Democrat, 10/19/91]. Coleman neglects to report what the driver blurted out at the crash scene: “I didn't see the kids! I didn't see the kids!” implying he deliberately rammed them because he thought the car carried just adults.
117	“ Bari collected on the accident in a generous settlement from the insurance company…”	It wasn't an insurance settlement, it was lawsuit settlement for damages, two years later, totaling $34,000 for Bari and Davis. Cherney obtained a separate $4,000 insurance settlement.
119	“…Judi saw no problem with exploiting her daughter to provide a ‘cuteness' factor to help the cause.”	Lisa Bari was never exploited as a demonstrator, but her impassioned wish to join in her mother's protests was often granted.
120	"Just before the end of 1989, Cherney came up with the idea of doing an EF demonstration...'Day of he Living Dead Hurwitzes..."	It was the end of 1988.
120	“Inside one of the coffins was a little girl who was to jump out at the right moment…”	It was a little boy.
123	“She posted a signup sheet at the lesbian coffee shop in Ukiah…”	There never was a lesbian coffee shop in Ukiah.
124	"Bari and Cherney had intended to provoke the [anti-abortion] group to attack them, just as they had deliberately provoked the Lancasters by their antics at Whitehorn..."	Bari and Cherney never tried to provoke attack. Coleman, as a mouthpiece for the powerful, interprets any brave nonviolent protest as "provocation" to violence.
124	“Somewhere lurking in that crowd was the future author of…'Lord's Avenger letter'…This letter..would refer back to that abortion demonstration…	There is no way to know if the author of the Lord's Avenger letter was present. Accounts of the demonstration and Bari 's role were widely discussed and there was prominent newspaper coverage of the demonstration, providing many other sources of information about the event.
124	“Sutley had packed up his guns because he and Pam Davis were planning to go target-shooting after the abortion rally.”	There wasn't any plan to go target shooting and nobody else except Sutley knew he was carrying guns.
125	“…Sutley sent one of the photos Davis had offered him…to Bruce Anderson…”	Davis refused to give Sutley any of the photos. He stole them.
125	“Anderson wanted to print the photo with Bari as the new ‘pinup' poster on the front page, with the slug, ‘They don't make hippies like they used to.'”	Anderson ran the photo on an inside page without this caption, insteading making up his own: "AVA Poster Gal of the Week."
125	"...another photo of Bari...was mailed to the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office in January, 1989..."	It was mailed to the Ukiah police chief.
125	“…the letter, which would become known as the ‘Argus letter' (because the writer named himself Argus after the all-watchful creature of Greek myth)…”	Coleman speculates about this, apparently ignorant of the fact that the Petaluma daily newspaper was named the Argus-Courier, and circulated where Sutley lived.
127	“Sutley…wore several guns through the passenger terminal of the San Francisco airport…police detained him…but no charges were filed.”	That's all Coleman reveals about Sutley's past. She leaves out arrest for marijuana possession for sale (Press Democrat 3/10/69 ), which led to a guilty plea, and arrest for assault on Carolyn Patrick (Press Democrat 8/19/1975).
128	"Sutley tried to talk Cherney out of running so he wouldn't take 'progressive' votes away from Fried. But Cherney stayed in the race and won seven hundred votes, losing to Bosco by a wide margin."	Sutley never tried to talk Cherney out of running against Fried, because he never did--Cherney ran in the Democratic primary against Bosco, while Fried was a Peace and Freedom candidate in the final general election. Cherney received over 5,000 votes, not 700.
128	“Pam Davis offered [Sutley] the garage at her grandmother's house in Forestville …where she had moved with her two boys after she split up with their father.”	She offered him the garage at her own house in Santa Rosa, where she had lived with her husband and sons before their separation.
128	“ Davis …had trouble with [previous boyfriend] before—enough to obtain a restraining order against him, which had since lapsed.	The restraining order hadn't lapsed, it was still in effect but it allowed the ex-boyfriend to live where he chose.
128	“The ex-boyfriend hung out…in his front yard and worked on cars…day and night…”	There was no front yard to hang out in, and he didn't work on cars.
128	“ Davis was truly frightened. Sutley offered to help her renew the restraining order.”	Davis was just annoyed, not frightened, and the restraining order was still in effect.
128	“[ Davis ] retained a lawyer and Sutley accompanied her to court.”	Davis did not retain a lawyer and there was no court appearance.
129	“ Davis successfully renewed the restraining order and the old boyfriend moved away.”	Since the restraining order was always in effect, it had nothing to do with the boyfriend moving.
129	Sutley: “…[Pam Davis] told me that Mike was hassling Judi and that he wouldn't do a property settlement with her.”	The property settlement had already been made, in detail, by Bari and Sweeney in their uncontested divorce in May 1988, as documented in court records, which gave each of them the right to require sale of the property after the house was completed.
129	Claim that Pam Davis asked Irv Sutley to kill Mike Sweeney.	This is denied by Davis and was denied by Bari, who says it was a deliberate misuse of a joking comment, as noted by Coleman on p. 130. Coleman neglects here, as everywhere, to reveal Sutley's obvious motive to tell derogatory lies about Bari. Coleman acknowledges Bari's self-confessed habit of "flippancy," [p. 124] but doesn't recognize it whenever an alleged comment can be used to make Bari look bad.
129	“Sutley told Davis he wouldn't do it, but he did offer to lend her one of his guns.”	Sutley offered Davis a gun for her own self-defense, not for any murder scheme.
130	“In 1997, the last year of Bari 's life, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat ran a story about the alleged solicitation to murder Mike Sweeney.”	No such story appeared in 1997.
131	"KMUD radio host Andree Conners was a witness..."	Conner was a host on KMFB in Fort Bragg, not KMUD in Redway.
133	"...the FBI busted Dave Foreman...in his Tuscon home while he lay in bed with his wife."	Foreman was in bed, his wife was not.
133	"One of Foreman's alleged crimes was paying $500 to an undercover government agent to destroy the lines."	Foreman was alleged to have paid $100, not $500. The money was in fact a contribution, not payment to destroy power lines.
134	"...Foreman pled guilty to a misdemeanor...instead of a trial....to spare some of his codefendants who had been pressured to testify against him."	The trial did take place. FBI testimony and courtoom drama went on for nearly two months before being interrupted by a plea bargain offer prior to verdict.
134	"But one local FBI agent...later said that neither Earth First nor Judi Bari...were targeted at all [for investigation and surveillance prior to the bombing]."	Get your story straight, Coleman. On pp. 166-167, you quote FBI agent McKinley that he called into his office on hearing of the bombing and was told Bari and Cherney "were subjects of an FBI investigation in the terrorist field."
134	"This [Foreman's 1989 arrest] was the era of the Unabomber, however...one of his victims, Gilbert Murray,was a lobbyist for timber industry--there might well have been detectives sniffing around Mendocino Earth First."	Gilbert Murray was killed by a mail bomb in 1995, six years after the arrests involving Dave Foreman and years after his plea bargain. Once again, Coleman gets dates and the order of events all screwed up.
135	"...the ultraconservative Sahara Club in Fort Bragg..."	The Sahara Club was based in San Diego and had no Fort Bragg chapter.
136	"Early in 1990, Bari, Cherney and several volunteers...[spent] almost two weeks at the Highlander Center in Knoxville, Tennessee, to prepare for the summer of protest in redwoods..."	No such trip was made to the Highlander Center in 1990, and the center is in New Market, not Knoxville.
136	"Highlander was an authentic Communist landmark, having served as a retreat for battle-weary party members beginning in the 1930s."	The Highlander Research and Education Center that Bari visited wasn't founded until 1961 and didn't move to its present location until 1971. It is not connected to the Communist Party, although it was sometimes accused of that by the KKK, Nazis, and now, Kate Coleman.
138	"...Cherney had put out his own not-so-veiled death warrant against Maxxam's Charles Hurwitz."	Earth First! demanded Hurwitz's arrest for crimes committed, never his death by any statement or implication.
138	“There [Sacramento] they distributed flyers (designed by Cherney) announcing a $5,000 reward for Hurwitz under the heading, ‘Wanted.' The flyer suggested the Old West's ‘Dead or Alive' posters, implicitly carrying the same threat.”	The poster was designed by Greg King, not Cherney, and the heading was "Reward." They no more suggested "Dead or Alive" than the wanted posters hanging in every post office. See INSTANT PROOF #14.
138	"...EFers rushed the hall...as one EF member shoulted, 'Hurwitz must die.'"	No one shouted "Hurwitz must die."
139	“…the photocopied image of herself caught in the crosshairs…which was nailed to the front door of the MEC…”	The threat was taped, not nailed, to the glass door of the MEC.
140	"In March, Bari changed her mind went to the Oregon Law Conference."	Later (p. 147), Coleman calls this the "Oregon Law and Environmental Conference." She's wrong both times, as usual. It was the Public Interest Environmental Law Conference, or ELAW.
140	"[Bari] traveled down to San Francisco and went before the city's board of supervisors to talk up 'Redwood Summer'....	Bari did not go before the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
140	“'Redwood Summer'(as it was now called because of resentment from veterans of the 1964 Mississippi Summer…)”	No veteran or anyone else objected to “Mississippi Summer in the Redwoods.” Bari and Cherney used that name alternatively with "Redwood Summer" before they settled on the latter.
143	"Cherney...told Mike Wallace, 'If I found I had a fatal disease, I would strap dynamite to myself and take out Glen Canyon Dam or the Maxxam building.'"	Coleman leaves out the rest of the quote: "...after it closed for the night." She also leaves out something she would have heard Cherney reveal under oath at the FBI trial, if she had attended: the CBS quote was a set-up, staged by the producer who told Cherney the interview wasn't punchy enough, and asked him the hypothetical question about what he would do if he had a fatal disease, and then aired his answer without showing that he was responding to a provocative question.
146	“…Earth First demonstrators nimbly ascended the cables of the Golden Gate Bridge to within ten feet of the top of the north tower.”	They ascended only half way up the 500-foot high tower.
146	"Two Oakland police officers conducted a search of Cherney's van...they found...the flyers recommending monkey-wrenching..."	The flyers were found in Cherney's backpack which he was carrying when he was arrested. He didn't bring his van, he drove a Datsun hatchback. The flyers didn't recommend monkey-wrenching, they were a parody of Earth Day.
147	"[Bari] raged against her now ex-lover--first, for permitting the search of his van..."	Cherney's van wasn't searched in connection with his arrest at the bridge.
147	"At the Oregon Labor and Environmental Conference where she denounced tree-spiking..."	Earlier (p. 140), Coleman calls this the "Oregon Law Conference." She's wrong both times, as usual. It was the Public Interest Environmental Law Conference, or ELAW.
148	“…writer David Harris, who witnessed a bristling argument between the couple [Bari & Cherney] in a San Francisco restaurant…”	Harris never witnessed the argument nor did he claim to. He did say he had been told about it by Cherney (Press Democrat, 2/18/96 ), but the argument was actually between Cherney and Gail Lucas of Sierra Club (Press Democrat, 2/11/96 ).
148	“[Harris] approved the name change to Redwood Summer.”	David Harris had no involvement with Redwood Summer, or its name, and didn't publish his book until 1996.
148	"Some viewed the invasion of youth (Redwood Summer) as a deliberate attempt to create violence, and not, as in the civil rights movement, to diffuse it."	Who are the "some" who took this preposterous view, besides Coleman? There wasn't a single thing in the build-up, planning, publicity or leadership of Redwood Summer that countenanced anything except strict non-violent civil disobedience, and it was planned as and turned out to be an "invasion" of all ages, not just youth.
148	"[Bari] didn't really have a plan for housing or feeding [Redwood summer demonstrators] or providing them with legal help..."	Bari did indeed have extensive plans and many meetings had been held about it and requests for support had been sent throughout the region. As Coleman admits, the Seeds of Peace meeting May 23, 1990 was culmination of this past work. Despite the disruption caused by the bombing, Redwood Summer successfully fed and gave legal help to thousands of demonstrators.
149	"Bari had set up several secret meetings...with gyppos and loggers...to diffuse potential hostility...But these meetings, attended by only a handful of gyppos and logging folk...failed to impress even some of her fellow Earth Firsters..."	The meetings weren't secret, they were open to the timber industry and were well attended, resulting in agreements for non-violence by all parties including the eight logging concerns that were represented. Coleman sneers at what was really great leadership by Bari that was enthusiastically supported by other Earth First! activists like Karen Pickett and Mike Roselle who raised money in support.
149	"Utah Phillips...and fellow folkie Dakota Syd and their women were flopping overnight at her Redwood Valley digs..."	If he had one, Sid left "his woman" behind and no such person "flopped" at Bari's.
149	"[Bari] parked her car across the street from the meeting at a Willits cafe..."	Bari parked the car on the street next to the cafe, not across the street.
149	“There were twenty or so people at the secret Willits meeting with the handpicked timber representatives.”	The meeting wasn't secret and it was open to all timber representatives who were willing to come.
149	"[Bari] stayed up until 2 a.m....then joining her overnight guests...while they knocked back a few beers."	Bari didn't drink beer. Neither did Utah Phillips, a recovered alcoholic.
150	“Bari, Cherney, George Shook, Utah Phillips and his wife, and Dakota Syd held a brief press conference at the MEC in Ukiah at noon on [May] 23 rd , before caravanning to the Bay Area.”	Three errors in one sentence again! Only Judi attended the press conference, which was at attorney Barry Vogel's office, not the MEC, and Cherney and Shook were already in the Bay Area and didn't caravan down.
150	“When Judi parked in front of the MEC, she locked her car door because she was carrying Stenberg's tools in her trunk.”	Part of Stenberg's mental disorder is putting herself in the center of every scene. Bari didn't have Stenberg tools, she had her musical instruments which she wanted to secure. And the Subaru station wagon had no trunk.
152	"...when Bari's Subaru hit the pothole on MacArthur Boulevard and set off the motion device..."	Bari's car didn't hit a pothole. There was no pothole. How can this idiot Coleman just keep making up stuff?
152	"Oakland police now shared the inventory of material they'd found in Cherney's van on the Golden Gate Bridge..."	It was his backpack and Datsun sedan that were searched, not his van, which he didn't bring to the bridge.
154	"[Cherney] hand-wrote an account of the bombing in the decorative, kitschy style of printing...He named his leading candidates for the bombing...and gave a simple recitation of his and Bari's motivation for...Redwood Summer..."	Cherney wrote nothing for the police at this time or any other time. His statement was taken down by the police in their own writing.
154	“ Jordan also sought to shut down any friends of Judi's popping off their mouths to the press.”	Susan Jordan's denial of this lie is backed up by the fact that at least 7 newspaper articles within 45 days of the bombing quoted 8 Bari supporters, starting the day after the bombing.
155	“After Satterwhite briefed them, they [FBI and OPD] questioned Sweeney…”	FBI and OPD didn't ask Sweeney any questions at the May 25 search.
155	“[Sweeney] said he was under no obligation to show or tell the officers anything. He added that he'd known they were coming—Susan Jordan had warned him—and he was not going to speak to them at all.”	Sweeney and witnesses spent the entire night of May 24-25 waiting with Satterwhite for the FBI to arrive, and Sweeney had long conversations with Satterwhite about Judi's activism. Sweeney had never spoken to Susan Jordan.
155	“( Bari had already removed the bulk of her papers to the cabin she'd rented on String Creek…)”	Bari had removed nothing to that cabin since it wasn't even weatherproof yet.
156	"...a tree-spiking injury suffered by George Alexander in May 1987, when metal shards from a spiked piece of wood shattered the jaw of the 23-year-old Louisiana-Pacific mill worker."	It was a shattered saw blade, not the spiked piece of wood, that injured Alexander, who blamed L-P. Alexander told Eric Brazil of the SF Examiner that the saw was old, wobbly and cracked and due for replacement the next day. He said he had been complaining about the saw for two weeks and that hitting hard objects in the logs was a regular occurrence.
157	"Bari had previously [before 1990] interviewed Alexander for the Anderson Valley Advertiser and had been moved by his injuries."	Bari didn't interview Alexander until years after the bombing.
157	"...her right foot would drag, and she was never pain-free."	Bari favored her right leg when she walked but it didn't drag.
157	“…Greg King, who believed his drink had been laced with LSD the night before the bombing…drove like a crazy man to get away from the Bay Area…”	As King wrote in The Paper ( 9/17/92 ), he went to the Bay Area after he heard about the bombing to help and didn't feel symptoms of drugging until May 27, three days later. He never claimed his drink had been laced with LSD.
157 note	"By 1990 there had been twelve tree-spikings acknowledged by lumber companies in Northern California alone, according to Christopher Manes in Green Rage...Manes put the cost to the lumber industry for tree-spiking at $25 million."	Manes' book is misquoted. Manes was citing a U.S. Forest Service agent, William Derr, not any lumber company source. The U.S. Forest Service covers national forests, not private timberlands. Manes guess at "ecotage" costs was "$20 million to $25 million annually" but this guess applied nationally, not to Northern California.
158	"Anna Marie Stenberg...gained admission to Bari's room by claiming...to be her sister. Bari was then unconscious, so Stenberg left."	Another Stenberg fantasy. It was Karen Pickett who tried to gain entry by claiming to be Bari's sister, and she was arrested for trying. Stenberg wasn't even in Oakland in the immediate aftermath of the bombing.
158	"Karen Pickett and her boyfriend, Earth First cofounder Mike Roselle..."	Roselle wasn't Pickett's boyfriend, he was her husband.
158	“[Jordan] also nixed the press conference that Earth First had planned and Karen Pickett had pulled together.”	The press conference took place. Jordan never told any Bari supporter not to talk to the press. Her only concern was that Bari not make statements as long as the police were falsely charging her, something any lawyer would insist on.
158	"[Stenberg] told local TV reporters that one had only to look at Bari's bombed-out car--which she claimed she had done at the Oakland police storage facility...."	"Claimed she had done"? Is this a hint about Stenberg's pathological lying? No one got a glimpse of the stored car until Bari's legal team got a court order weeks later.
161	"Despite her pain, she wanted to participate in the media dance with her martyrdom."	Bari spoke with great difficulty, not to "participate in martyrdom" but to defend herself against the FBI accusations that filled the press that she was transporting her own bomb.
161	"[Bishop] then noticed a 'little old man' [David Brower] step out of the elevator and get admitted to Bari's room directedly."	David Brower was over six feet tall and still impressive in his personal appearance in 1990. He was there to give support to Bari, not to participate in a photo op.
161	"[NY Times reporter] Bishop surveyed the tableau: Cherney stood by the window, holding a guitar..."	Cherney wasn't there.
164	“The couple's battle for custody, she told Moore now, might be shifted permanently in Sweeney's favor…”	There was no battle for custody. And Sweeney never made any effort to change custody after the bombing. See INSTANT PROOF #7.
164	“… Bari 's other EF friends knew nothing about this [custody fight] (or, at least, if they did know, refused to say so publicly).”	That's because there was no custody fight, only a lie that Judi's enemies spread after she was dead and could no longer contradict them.
164	“Few of these attendants knew about the custody fight…The ongoing struggle with Sweeney was still the most secret of all her wars.”	So secret, in fact, that it existed only in the fantasies of Judi's enemies. See INSTANT PROOF #7.
166	Quote from Bari : “Mike was taking care of our children at his girlfriend's house when the bomb was planted…”	Coleman omits this key observation by Bari : “the bomb in my car had a 12-hour timer, so it couldn't have been placed anywhere but Oakland where I stayed the night before it exploded.” (Timber Wars , p. 313)
167	“…the nails in the trunk of the car…”	The Subaru station wagon had no trunk.
168	“…Stenberg would soon apprise Oakland police that all the tools and nails in the trunk of the bombed out car actually belong to her, as she'd been doing carpentry for Bari on her new String Creek residence…”	Stenberg never worked on Bari 's cabin, and the Subaru had no trunk. One of the ways Stenberg's mental disorder works is to imagine herself as a central actor in any drama. See Stenberg .
168	"The car seat, damaged by the Jaws of Life which released Bari from the wreckage, was removed, thus muddying the issue of the bomb's placement."	The Jaws of Life were used only on the frame of the car, never the seat.
169	“It was not impossible that Bari had knowingly carried the bomb as part of the Earth First plans to interrupt power to the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant…”	There was no such plan and it's impossible to believe Bari was involved in anything like that when she was trying to organize a mass nonviolent timber protest in another part of the state. Also, the bomb was clearly an antipersonnel device, designed to be triggered by the motion of Bari 's car when she was in it. It was not a blast device to use against power facilities or any other structure or machine.
169	"....there would never be any way of proving it because law enforcement had botched some of the evidence."	There was no "botching" of the evidence. The record showed that all evidence was collected, labeled, inventories and examined. But the FBI and police ignored and supressed evidence that did not target Bari and Cherney.
170	"...armed with the local warrants, police had raided the Seeds House, where they rousted the residents..."	The police had no search warrant when they raided the Seeds House, as documented at the FBI-Oakland police trial in 2002.
170	"...Dennis Cunningham...never learned the name of the informer, but he had a sense of who she was..."	The legal team, including Bari, was able to discover and confirm the identity of the woman informer--Linda Hall--from talking to other people referred to in reports of conversations with her.
172	“…the Cloverdale mill bomb failed to go off.”	The bomb did partially explode but had little effect because an end cap blew off.
173 note	"As it was later described by a private investigator hired by Bari, the ball bearing was part of the motion device..."	The description of the motion device came from FBI bomb expert David R. Williams.
174	"...the police interviewed [Bill Staley] anyway over the next weeks, finally declaring him not a suspect."	FBI agent Stockton Buck spoke briefly with Staley, and then promptly dismissed him as a suspect without following up on any leads or physical evidence, although some existed.
174	“…almost four months prior to the car-bombing, the so-called Argus letter was sent to Ukiah police…”	The Argus letter was sent in January 1989, 17 months before the car-bombing.
175	“[Sutley] did ask Bari about getting some pot but nothing came of it.”	Sutley tried to get Bari to mail him marijuana immediately after police posted an ad accepting Argus' offer, but she refused.
175	“The Argus letter displayed the same literary affectations as the Lord's Avenger's…”	There are no literary similarities at all between the letters, except that they are both in English.
177	"...they had listed two kinds of nails found in the Subaru's trunk--carpenter and framing nails."	The two types of nails were roofing and framing nails. And the Subaru was a hatchback with no trunk.
178	"[Dellums, Bates and Edwards]were critical of the bureau, although their joint statement did not appear until after July, when the district attorney declined to press charges."	The coalition press conference including the congressmen took place July 16. The district attorney announced he wouldn't press charges the next day.
179	“The FBI examined the typewriters of both men [Koepf and Anderson] and found that these machines hadn't been used to type the [Lord's Avenger] letter.”	Coleman fails to add that the FBI examined every typewriter at Sweeney and Bari 's property and didn't find any matches either. She also leaves out that Bari located a typewriter that apparently matched the Argus Letter; it was in an office where Sutley hung out and had access.
180	“It is not known when [Sweeney] wrote the novel…”	The description given by Coleman doesn't match any writing by Sweeney, regardless of whose waste paper he once recycled.
180	“…after Sweeney ascended to the post of recycling czar for Mendocino County at the end of the 1980s…”	Sweeney has never been an employee of Mendocino County . He held no government job ever until 1994.
181	“[Sweeney] was at his desk working in the Mendocino Environmental Center in downtown Ukiah…”	Sweeney never had a desk at the MEC and never said he was at the MEC on May 23, 1990 .
181	“But more than two decades after the bombing, a meeting…brought about a discovery…”	Two decades after the bombing won't occur until 2010.
182	"(the bomb timer)... had a regulator on the back that could slow down the watch's action from the twelve-hour limit of the clock's face to twenty-four hours and even slower."	There is no evidence that the watch on the actual bomb was modified in this way, or that it could be slowed down enough to matter. Testing of the same model pocket watch in January 2005 by a qualified professional watchmaker determined it could be slowed by only 45 minutes at most in a 12 hour period.
182	"Doyle has been the main instructor at a 'bomb school' the FBI had put on in Eureka on Louisiana-Pacific land just two weeks prior to the car-bombing."	The bomb school was held April 23-27, 1990, a full month before the bombing. It was held at College of the Redwoods with only a one-day field day on L-P property.
182 note	“…law enforcement investigators interviewed Sweeney and sought examples from his typewriter at the MEC.”	Sweeney didn't have a typewriter at the MEC.
184	“…the Bari-ites, none of whom would consent to interviews with the OPD or the FBI…”	Numerous Bari supporters gave interviews to the FBI and others, including Betty Ball and Pam Davis, offered to talk but were never interviewed. As Coleman herself notes, Cherney talked at length to police immediately after the bombing (p. 154).
184	“…the Bari-ites…stitched together law enforcement mistakes in a conspiratorial web that was good enough ultimately to sway a civil jury…”	Bari's civil suit never claimed a law enforcement conspiracy to bomb her, only a conspiracy to blame her and deny her civil rights. Law enforcement officer are immune from being sued for mistakes; the plaintiffs had to prove willful misconduct. A juror who spoke to the media after the trial said the case wasn't even close, and jurors unanimously agreed on the first day of deliberation that the defendants were guilty of violating Bari's and Cherney's Constitutional rights.
