The final bombing. Timber industry lobbyist Gilbert Murray is killed opening a package in his Sacramento office. Theodore Kaczynski is arrested at his mountain cabin in Montana. He is indicted in Sacramento for the Scrutton and Murray murders and the attacks on Epstein and Gelernter, and in New Jersey for the Mosser murder. Jury selection begins.
Jury selection ends.
Scheduled opening statements are delayed when Kaczynski renews his request to fire his lawyers and hire an attorney who will mount a defense based on his political views. The request is denied. Opening statements are again delayed when Kaczynski asks to serve as his own attorney. Burrell orders a competency evaluation for Kaczynski. Bureau of Prisons psychiatrist Sally Johnson reports that Kaczynski is competent to stand trial, but also probably a paranoid schizophrenic, as his lawyers have maintained.
