Judge bars testimony in McVeigh sentencing
The Associated Press
DENVER — Determined to keep Timothy MeVeigh's sentencing hearing safe, the judge yesterday barred prosecutors from presenting victims' wedding photos, a poem by a victim's father and testimony on funeral arrangements.
U. S. District Judge Richard Matsch also said he would not allow McVeigh's lawyers to turn the hearing into a trial of the government's handling of the siege at Waco.
McVeigh's death penalty hearing should begin today. The jurors who convicted McVeigh of murder and conspiracy Monday will decide whether he should die by lethal injection for the April 19, 1995, bombing that killed 168 people.
"The penalty phase hearing here cannot be turned into some
In addition, Matsch prohibited testimony from any bombing survivors and victims' relatives who may be prejudiced by testimony from the trial.
type of lynching. " Richard Matsie
Richard Matsch U.S. District Judge
"We have to guard this hearing to ensure that the ultimate result and the jury's decision are truly a moral response to appropriate information rather than an emotional response," he
said.
Despite Matsch's rulings, the judge will allow plenty of potentially wrenching testimony, including that of a rescuer who held a hand buried in the rubble, only to feel the pulse stop. Matsch also will allow photos of maimed survivors, pictures of victims being wheeled into hospitals and testimony from the coroner about the various causes of death, including that of a man who died slowly, as evidenced by the gravel in his lungs.
"We can't sanitize this scene," Matsch said.
He struggled with balancing what he called the sometimes conflicting requirements for a penalty hearing, a procedure only vaguely outlined in the law. His chief concern was to prevent inflaming jurors' passions.
"The penalty phase hearing here cannot be turned into some type of a lynching," he said.
Whitewater lawyer criticized
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Lashing out yesterday for the first time, the first family's lawyer, David Kendall, accused Whitewater prosecutors of inflicting leak-and-smear damage on Hillary Rodham Clinton and of violating grand jury secrecy rules.
In a letter sanctioned by President Clinton, Kendall accused prosecutor Kenneth Starr of engaging in "a public relations offensive" that "is wholly inconsistent with your professional obligations as a prosecutor."
Kendall's attack was prompted by a Sunday New York Times story that quoted unnamed prosecutors from Starr's office. It contained plain violations of grand jury secrecy rules imposed on prosecutors, Kendall wrote.
Three former prosecutors sided
with Kendall, saying the article indeed raised questions about the conduct of Starr and his prosecutors. Michael Zeldin, a former Department of Justice lawyer, was one such prosecutor.

"What Ken Starr has done with the New York Times piece is outrageous," Zeldin said. "It's antithetical to everything we've learned as prosecutors and as independent counsels, and he should be ashamed of himself."
White House press secretary Mike McCurry said Kendall discussed the
letter with Clinton. "He agrees with the sentiments conveyed by Mr. Kendall." McCurry said.
Deborah Gershman, a representative for Starr, said the prosecutor was traveling to Little Rock, Ark., and would likely have a comment after reviewing the letter.
Kendall wrote to Starr, "What is needed is a wholehearted commitment to winding up this investigation in an appropriate way. This means not chasing every rainbow or every partisan rumor, whether in the hope of wounding or destroying a target, or for any other reason.
"The present public posturing on your part suggests to me a total loss of perspective: I don't believe that there's ever been a jugular here for you to go for, but in the last several months, you've demonstrated an unerring instinct for the capillary."
