attempt to bolster their brainwashing theory.
The start of Malvo's case sets the stage for simultaneous sniper trials in separate courtrooms in different cities.
"We have a number of questions we would like to ask him," defense attorney Craig Cooley said, adding, "not the least of which is the motivation for the indoctrination of Lee."
Malvo, wearing black pants and a navy sweater over a white shirt, responded, "Not guilty," in a clear voice each time he was asked for a plea to two counts of capital murder and one count of using a firearm in a felony.
He is accused in the slaying of FBI analyst Linda Franklin, who was cut down by a single bullet outside a Home Depot on Oct. 14,2002.

Twelve jurors plus four alternates will be selected from a pool of 151 potential jurors for Malvo's trial, which is expected to last six weeks.
