Martha Hennessy, Clare Grady and Carmen Trotta were sentenced last week for their part in the Kings Bay Plowshares 7 action that took place on April 4/5 2018 on the Georgia submarine base. Hennessy, the sixth of the Kings Bay Plowshares defendants to be sentenced, was ordered to serve 10 months incarceration as well as three years supervised probation and restitution. This was a downward departure from the guidelines of 18 to 24 months recommended by the probation department. The day before, Trotta was sentenced to 14 months, also a downgrade from the expected sentence. Grady was sentenced to one year and one day which is also well below the guidelines. The remaining defendant, Mark Colville, will be sentenced in December. Earlier this year, Liz McAlister was sentenced to time served. Fr. Steve Kelly was sentenced to 33 months incarceration, three years of supervised release and restitution. He has served 30 months in pretrial confinement so should have completed this sentence with the addition of good time. O’Neill was sentenced to 14 months in prison and the same probation and restitution. At the moment, prison sentences look unlikely to be served during the covid pandemic.
