As mentioned, Sunseri had proactively contacted the park on September 11, 2024, offering to help close the trail or assist with signage. Those offers were declined, and instead, in early 2025, prosecutors offered a deferred prosecution deal, but with severe terms, including 1,000 hours of community service, reeducation classes, and a five-year ban from Grand Teton National Park.
Where do you see 1000 hours? It says 60 right there in your quote.
Shit, I got caught stealing a DVD once when I was 16 and had to do 60 hours. That’s nothing.
