Jury selection was completed in just one day, and prosecutors are already promising the jury videotapes that show the six defendants committing violent acts, carrying weapons and robbing two TV news crews. In May, the Freemen leaders will go on trial for bank fraud and a host of other charges; by then they'll be able to judge for themselves the merits of intransigence as a legal strategy...
