Overview
- Judge Kenneth Gnoss ordered 30 days in jail with eligibility for 60 additional days through jail alternatives, two years of probation, and a 100-yard stay-away from Perdue-owned Petaluma Poultry facilities.
- Rosenberg must report to the Sonoma County Jail on Dec. 10 and was ordered to pay $102,548.09 in restitution, with a court hearing expected to address the final amount.
- A jury on Oct. 29 convicted her of felony conspiracy and three misdemeanors tied to 2023 entries in which she removed four chickens and, according to evidence, searched records and placed GPS trackers on company trailers.
- Prosecutors said the incursions forced a shutdown and emergency measures that cost Petaluma Poultry more than $100,000, while the defense argued the actions were a moral rescue of sick birds.
- Supporters, including actor Joaquin Phoenix, criticized the outcome, and Rosenberg’s team highlights serious medical conditions as it pursues further legal steps.
