...likely event that Kaczynski is convicted, the defense's plan is to wait for the sentencing phase of the trial and raise his mental condition as a mitigating factor. His brother and mother will then take the stand and tell how his aberrant behavior goes all the way back to childhood. With a little bit of luck, the jury may show some mercy. Kaczynski will probably not like all the talk about mental illness then any more than he does now. But at that point his lawyers will be engaged in a last-ditch effort to save his life. Their...

SACRAMENTO: The Unabomber trial will wait a week or more while Ted Kaczynski faces what he fears most: the pokings and proddings of a team of psychiatrists. Everyone associated with the trial expects him to pass muster--even after the presumed suicide attempt. "The hurdle is so low," says TIME San Francisco Bureau Chief David Jackson, in Sacramento covering the trial. "Burrell already considers him competent; Kaczynski only needs to understand both the nature and consequences of the crime. But the competency issue has to be settled...
