IM!SHO, Jim is committing the ultimate faux pas in federal court --the
issue of 'conspiracy' as it implies the judge is part of the conspiracy.
of course, I dont consider the issues as conspiracy anyway --they are
nothing more than a government abusing its powers and the fact the
citizens have abrogated their own rights by failing to make government
accountable

the wonders of a public defender... Kaczinski's lawyer pulled the same
abuse of privilege (except again IM!SHO, TZ outsmarted them all as even
in his apparent paranoia driven state, his powers of logic were stil
present --and there is reason to doubt his implied state of insanity
in so much as his notebooks showed bitterness and a bloodthirsty desire
for violent retribution.
OTH, Bell definetly lacks sophistication, or a reasonable sense of
logic; if there is a mental illness issue, it is not the place of Bell's
attorney to overrule his client's wishes --Bell is entitled to be the
fool....
but even worse, sliding into the federal prison systems psychiatric t
evaluation program is a one way ticket --all bets are off, and all
sentence termination dates are off-- release is at the whim of the
government. if, for instance, Jim is sent to Springfield (MO) or
Rochester (MN), the cell blocks are essential solitary confinement
rows --if you werent nuts when you arrived, you are or will be...
Jim's attorney may have been well meaning by asking for help of Jim,
but he sure as hell did not do him any favours.

still whipping a dead horse. Jim's AP essays were not an evidence
of insanity- a little asinine, but certainly not insane rantings.
many members of the list can say: "there but for the grace of (insert
your favourite whatever), go I."

this is one of the travesties of the Public Defender system; Jim will
be evaLuated only by the US Prison system (which has a vested interest
in maintain the numbers (despite the current 24% overcrowding figure I
saw quoted the other day).
there will be no report actually representing Jim's or his families
interests. there will be no period when an outside investigator can
evaluate Jim when he can be absolutely sure the government has not
loaded him with Thorazine
an undiseased mind looking out through the haze of Thorazine must be
terrorizing; the victim clawing at the walls of the cranium --or so
it was described to me by my Tourettes' Syndrome victim son who was
given same in an acute facility --I had been in hospital with
bronchial infections and did not see him until two weeks later at
the resident school I arranged-- absolutely terrifying; the Haldol
was discontinued immediately; absolutely unbelievable what it did
prisons and other institutions love Thorazine class drugs for
troublemakers --instant passivity, and in Jim's case, an obvious
means of declaring him criminally insane which is a life sentence
in the federal system, one way or another.
I wish Jim luck, he needs it; I dont agree with his "politics", but
I also do agree with their punishment of his inadequacies and childish
pranks.
