PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) A federal judge on Friday ordered the pretrial release of a man accused of eco-terrorism, as soon as he tests negative for COVID-19.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reports U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken said it has become untenable for Joseph M. Dibee to review discovery and help counsel prepare for trial.
Dibee learned he was infected with the coronavirus after he was tested Dec. 21 in Inverness Jail. He was tested only at the urging of his defense lawyer Matthew Schindler, who had reported to the court that Dibee was ill.
In January, accused eco-saboteur Joseph Dibee suffered a broken jaw during a jail attack from another inmate at Multnomah County’s Inverness Jail. A federal judge singled out the sheriff’s office

In January, accused eco-saboteur Joseph Dibee suffered a broken jaw during a jail attack from another inmate at Multnomah County’s Inverness Jail. A federal judge singled out the sheriff’s office for not taking appropriate measures to ensure Dibee’s safety.
On Tuesday, Dibee tested positive for the coronavirus.
Dibee, 53, was evaluated only after his defense lawyer sought a judge’s order that required the jail to have his client tested.
