The government rested on Tuesday in the federal trial against three protesters accused of vandalizing a uranium storage building at the Y-12 National Security Complex in July.
The three anti-nuclear weapons activists—Greg Boertje-Obed, Megan Rice, and Michael Walli—face charges of property depredation and willfully injuring national defense premises.
Jury selection was Monday, and the trial started Tuesday.
It resumes at 9 a.m. today in U.S. District Court in Knoxville.
Rice is expected to resume testifying this morning.
