Attornies for the Kaczynksi family had argued for leniency based on their belief that the defendant is mentally ill and in consideration of the assistance the family provided in capturing him. The requests for the death penalty came in two separate federal trials, the first scheduled to begin in Sacramento in November, the second later on in Newark.
