Neil Taisacan was the third of the four defendants to plead guilty.
Naraja sentenced Taisacan to six months imprisonment, all suspended except for three months.
Naraja credited the 36 hours served by Taisacan at the Department of Corrections facility.
Taisacan will start serving the remainder of his sentence on Jan. 7, 2011, and he is expected to be released on April 5, 2011.
Taisacan was directed to not fish with his co-defendants Derek P. San Nicolas, 29, Jimmy Manalo, and Henry S. Ada, 31.
The court forfeited Taisacan’s paraphernalia such as mask, snorkel, fins, and spear gun.
Taisacan was represented by attorney Collin Thompson while Assistant Attorney General Eileen Escudero Wisor, who is assigned to the Coral Reef Initiative, prosecuted the case.
Ada has signed a plea agreement while Manalo, his co-defendant, also admitted the charges of possession and conspiracy to possess a green sea turtle.
Naraja imposed six months imprisonment on Ada, all suspended except for the first 105 days.
Naraja credited the eight days already served by Ada at the Corrections facility.
Naraja included in Ada’s 105-day jail sentence the 15 days suspended for his previous murder case in 2006.
Manalo was sentenced to six months in prison, all suspended except one month, with credit for time served.
On Sept. 5, 2010, the AGO said Ada, Manalo, San Nicolas and Taisacan conspired with each other and possessed a green sea turtle after it was unlawfully removed from Saipan waters.
