Idaho separatist Weaver gets 18 months in prison
Randall Weaver, a white separatist acquitted of murdering a U.S. marshal, drew 18 months in federal prison for failing to appear on a 1991 weapons charge. He was also fined $10,000 and placed on three years probation after a courtroom scene in which he briefly hugged his daughters and father. Gerry Spence, his attorney, said 14 months already served plus good behavior may free him by year end. The case drew national attention to federal law enforcement methods against an armed extremist group.
