Stang’s family was understandably disappointed with the court’s decision:
Sister Dorothy's sister Marguerite Hohm had watched the two-day long trial from her home in the US via a live internet feed.
"I saw the judge shaking hands with the defendants and I didn't understand what was going on," Ms Hohm told the Associated Press news agency. "We're very saddened."
Stang had allegedly been the target of Brazilian ranchers who disliked her opposition to the exploitation of poor and indigenous peoples by large landowners.
