Celeste McClure is a bomber and accessory to the murder of Mary Donovan, on the orders of radical anti-abortion activist Rose Schwimmer.
History[]
Celeste made the bomb and went with Mary to place at it a local abortion clinic. However, Celeste had agreed to call in a warning to evacuate the building, allowing Mary to place the bomb and allow it to safely detonate. Unfortunately, Rose had tampered with the timer; instead of a ten-minute countdown, the bomb went off immediately, killing Mary. Celeste learned that Rose wished to use Mary as a martyr; Mary had secretly planned to get an abortion due to a medical complication that would make her child's life hellish.
Celeste was arrested and prepared to take the fall as a martyr, until she was charged with murder when Mary was discovered to be uninvolved in the plot. She pleaded out so she'd testify against Schweitzer, which led to a successful conviction. Celeste was found guilty of explosive manufacturing and conspiracy to commit murder and terrorism and was imprisoned on a reduced sentence. (L&O: "Life Choice")
