They did jail time for their stupid defense:

Seems they swore that the tree they killed was a rare African Bajuju Blood Tree whose sticky, cone-like seeds had drifted over to North America via an errant jetstream wind which carried the seed pods from the valley of Mt. Kilamanjaro northeastward across the Middle East, down the straits of Hormuz, past the Indian sub-continent, across Manchuria, Tibet and China, onwards over the Pacific and eastward over California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

There the deadly seedlings took root, erupting swiftly into the horror of the Bajuju Blood Tree - a mobile tree that creeps at night and seeks human flesh for sustenance. They swore that they destroyed it before it could multiply and rampage Dallas. The judge held them in contempt and threw 'em in the pokey.

Strangely, no one has ever been able to account for the 16 missing people last seen in the vicinity of the tree while it still stood.

6 cats, The tree that you are probably referring to was also a live oak on the state capitol grounds. Some religious nut poured weed killer around it's roots about 10 years ago. I think it was called the treaty oak, and was a couple of hundred years old. An effort was made to replace the soil around the roots, but it failed to save the tree.
