The story I read said he was assigned Ted Kaczynski's lawyer (the Una Bomber)

Judy Clark has represented the Unabomber, Tim McVeigh, the Olympic Bomber, and Susan Smith. The government keeps her pretty busy!

I was listening to a great interview with her this morning on NPR. She said that the main function of their role in cases like this--where they were either caught in the act, confesses, or the evidence is clearly indicative of their guilt--is to get life in prison and not the death penalty.
