This chic, shaded calligraphic script so many are affecting lately is handsome, and is probably worth a good extra five points if you can hack...
...bedraggled defense team, meanwhile, may now offer a "stealth" psychiatric defense. By emphasizing the most bizarre aspects of their client's life and alleged bombing campaign -- even putting Kaczynski himself on the stand -- they will be priming jurors to believe what the accused has forbidden his lawyers from claiming aloud: that Theodore Kaczynski is insane...
