- Prosecutor David Hagler justified the longer sentence, citing the nature of Smith's attacks on critical infrastructure, occurring 10 months apart and involving significant premeditation.
- Defense attorney Douglas Passon described Smith as a hyper-aware individual wanting to create awareness about climate change and criticized the sentence as disproportionate to similar crimes.
