In 1996 , Federal Defender Quin Denvir filed papers asking U.S. District Judge Garland Burrell to appoint Clarke as his co-counsel for Ted Kaczynski who was accused of seven explosions connected to the Unabomber and faced the death penalty . Clarke and the defense made unsuccessful challenges to the search of Kaczynski 's cabin and the statements he made after his capture . In addition , the defense began preparation for an insanity defense , which Kaczynski did not support . Kaczynski 's brother David Kaczynski said of Clarke : " She had the ability to develop a relationship with Ted , and that was not one of his gifts . He does not connect easily or well with people . " Moreover , he said , " I thought that she understands my brother as a human being who has significant issues and challenges and mental problems , who 's done something terrible but is still on the level of a human being . " About the time of jury selection , Kaczynski moved to dismiss his lawyers , but that motion was denied . The day before the trial was to begin , Kaczynski pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty , and was sentenced to life in prison without parole , serving his sentence at ADX Florence . Later Kaczynski was quoted describing Judy Clarke as " a bitch on wheels and a sicko . " In 2000 , she was appointed to represent Buford O. Furrow , the Aryan Nations member , accused of the Los Angeles Jewish Community Center shooting , and the fatal shooting of a Filipino-American postal worker in 1999 . Prosecutors dropped the death penalty when the defense documented and charted Furrow 's long history of psychiatric treatment for bipolar disorder . In 2001 , Furrow pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five life terms
