Trial
Continued from Page 1
The only holdout was a union pipefit
ter who said that only God — not the jus
tice system — can stand in judgment. The
man wrote on his questionnaire: “I don’t
like your court” and “I don't think your
conclusions are good.”
Some prospects expressed reluctance
to serve on the trial, which could last sev
eral months.
As the prospective jurors took the stand to
talk about everything from their view of the
justice system to their opinions on the O.J.
Simpson case, they were hidden behind a par
tial wall from nearly everyone in the audience
section of the courtroom. U.S. District Judge
Richard Matsch has promised the prospective
jurors that their privacy will be protected dur
ing the questioning.
Given the slow pace, it could take several
weeks for lawyers to choose 12 jurors and six
alternates from a pool of hundreds, and all
those picked must be willing to consider the
death penalty as punishment.
Heightened security was evident at the
stone-and-glass courthouse, which is ringed
by concrete barriers, heavy planters and tem
porary metal fences.
Police officers on foot, on horseback and in
cruisers made regular passes around the com
plex, and at least one sharpshooter, wearing
military fatigues, was stationed at the top of a
parking stmcture across the street.
Reporters and observers were screened by
two sets of metal detectors, before being al
lowed into the second-floor courtroom.
Only a few victims’ families showed up to
watch, and an auxiliary courtroom, set up to
handle an overflow crowd, was filled mostly
with reporters.
And fewer than 75 people showed up to
watch the telecast 600 miles away in a 320-
seat auditorium set up under tight security
at Oklahoma City’s Federal Aviation Ad
ministration complex.
Congress created the closed-circuit hookup
to accommodate the survivors and the victims
after the trial was moved from Oklahoma City
because of the intense publicity.
“Whether there’s one person orn ,
closed-circuit television needed toy
said Dr. Paul Heath, a survivor ofthelxn
‘The opportunity is here, and thatistl
point of the closed-circuit feed."
Jones focused much of his questions
media, since only last week heclaimedtl
pool was poisoned by the purported^
sions of his client in stories by Die
Morning News and Playboy.
