Dakota Access Pipeline trial in Morton County hits halfway mark

The trial for the Dakota Access Pipeline, involving Energy Transfer and Greenpeace, reached its halfway stage with Energy Transfer presenting claims against Greenpeace for alleged criminal behavior during protests in 2016 and 2017.
Energy Transfer reports that protest-related costs reached approximately $265 million, including $75.7 million in direct damages, as stated by a consultant during the trial.
Greenpeace's attorney argued that Energy Transfer provided no direct evidence linking Greenpeace to the alleged damages and claimed the lawsuit was an effort to suppress environmental advocacy.
Annie Leonard testified that Greenpeace's involvement was at the request of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and emphasized nonviolent support.
