Defense Will Get Documents In Unabomber Case

Prosecutors in the trial of Unabomber suspect Theodore Kaczynski will give defense lawyers most of the documents they want - except the handwritten notes of federal agents who searched Kaczynski’s Montana cabin.

Among the documents that will be turned over are reports of agents’ interviews with Kaczynski’s brother, David, his mother, and a number of people with whom the reclusive Kaczynski had contact while living in his cabin near Lincoln, Mont.

The U.S. attorney’s office disclosed the agreement in a brief filed Wednesday.

In return, attorneys Judy Clarke of Spokane and Quin Denvir have agreed to give prosecutors defense interviews with the same people. The defense, however, still wants the agents’ handwritten notes and other material. A hearing on the issue is scheduled Monday.

Kaczynski, 54, is being held on a 10-count indictment of killing a timber lobbyist and a computer rental store owner a decade apart in Sacramento. He is also charged in New Jersey with a fatal blast in 1994.

Kaczynski is charged in all three deaths attributed to the Unabomber and with eight bombings in six states that left 23 injured over 18 years.
