Delta Five Trial Continues
Today is the second day in the trial of the Delta Five, the five activists who in September 2014 blocked a mile-long train carrying volatile explosive Bakken crude through Washington State. 
They held up the train for eight hours in the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe, or BNSF Railway Company’s Delta Yard.
The five activists were arrested and taken to the Snohomish County jail for the night.
The Delta five are now on trial in Washington.
The legal defense team behind the Delta Five has gained national attention as they argue in court that the action was necessary to forgo imminent destruction to the environment. 
A necessity defense means the team can call on expert witnesses such as a BNSF whistleblower. 
They will be able to present the Sightline Institute’s research stating that northwest fossil fuel proposals would deliver over eight hundred million metric tons of carbon pollution — that’s five times that of the Keystone XL pipeline. The expanded activity would lead to the shipping by rail of hundreds of combustible oil trains per week.
