Rudolph pleads guilty to abortion bombing
Rudolph, dressed in a red jail uniform, winked toward prosecutors as he entered court and spoke tersely to answer questions from the judge, saying the government could “just barely” prove its case if it went to trial.
...
Rudolph's most elaborate statement was about the attorneys who helped him cut a plea agreement to save his life. “They’re very, very good, superlative attorneys,” he told the judge.
...
Believed to be a follower of a white supremacist religion that is anti-abortion, anti-gay and anti-Semitic, Rudolph eluded a manhunt for more than five years in the Appalachian wilderness. He was captured in Murphy, N.C., in 2003, scavenging for food behind a grocery store.
As part of the plea agreement, Rudolph provided authorities with the location of more than 250 pounds of dynamite buried in the mountains of western North Carolina. The government said some of the explosives were found near populated areas and could have become unstable and detonated.
Under the plea deal, Fulton County prosecutors agreed not to pursue future state charges in Georgia against Rudolph at the request of federal authorities, said Erik Friedly, a spokesman for District Attorney Paul Howard. In Alabama, Jefferson County District Attorney David Barber said he wouldn’t comment on the possibility of any state charges there until after sentencing.
...
“Knowing that he’s living under government control for the rest of his life, I think that’s worse to him than death,” she said from her home in Nashville, Tenn.
Awww, poor psycho homicidal maniac.
