David Kaczynski Knows How Jared Loughner's Family Feels

Last week's shootings in Arizona have left David Kaczynski sick with grief. The country's trauma in the aftermath of an inexplicable act of violence has elicited memories of his own trauma 15 years ago, as he watched the news of his brother Ted's arrest on television. His brother Ted, better known as the Unabomber. "I remember waking up one morning and having a really crushing feeling of depression, like waking up from a bad dream, only it wasn't," Kaczynski remembered during an interview this morning.

Judy Clarke: Jared Loughner's 'Amazing' Attorney

Judy Clarke is the Forrest Gump of criminal defense attorneys. Otherwise unassuming, even shy, she seems to turn up, front and center, for many of the cases we'll never forget.

Unabomber's Victims Fear He Could Post Writings

(Sept. 15) -- It has been nearly 15 years since the arrest of Ted Kaczynski, aka the "Unabomber," and yet his ability to terrorize the public persists. Now, survivors of his mail-bomb attacks and victims' families are haunted by the fear that the Harvard-educated mathematician might upload 40,000 pages of his writings and other documents to the Internet. "My primary concern is privacy for everybody," Gary Wright, a victim of one of Kaczynski's terrorist attacks, told AOL News. "Nobody's personal information [should go] out there."
