- Unabomber Trial Stays in New Jersey
A federal judge rejects a defense bid to transfer to California the New Jersey case against Theodore Kaczynski, the alleged Unabomber. The judge also rejects a prosecution motion to begin the New Jersey case in June, before the California case, which is scheduled for November.
- Kaczynski Prosecutor's Bombshell
Federal prosecutors revealed that Unabomber suspect Theodore Kaczynski allegedly kept a diary with accounts of his crimes. The defense claimed that prosecutors leaked this information to cause a media frenzy and worried that the revelation may make it impossible for Kaczynski to get a fair trial in that venue.

- Bombing Indictment: Thin But Powerful
A Sacramento federal grand jury issues a 10-count indictment against Theodore Kaczynski that mentions just four of the 16 attacks attributed to the Unabomber.

- 'Complete Lawyer' in Kaczynski's Corner
The impending indictment of Theodore Kaczynski will thrust Sacramento Federal Public Defender Quin Denvir into the spotlight. As one of California's most respected appellate lawyers, Denvir is no stranger to high-profile cases, from the Billionaire Boys Club murder to former California schools chief William Honig's conflict-of-interest conviction.
- Mulling the Death Penalty
Justice Department officials have managed to disclose a vast amount of information explaining why they believe Theodore Kaczynski is the Unabomber. But the government has kept quiet on one important question - whether to seek the death penalty in the case.
