(AP) - Theodore Bundy abruptly walked out of his murder trial courtroom today after saying he wouldn't be a party to this kind of Waterloo.”Bundy jumped out of his chair at the defense table after the defense used its last peremptory challenge against jurors his attorneys consider biased. That left 11 jurors tentatively seated to judge Bundy on charges of the kidnap-murder of 12-year-old North Florida schoolgirl Kimberly I^each.“I’m leaving,” Bundy said as he walked to the door in the back of the courtroom, next to the bench occupied by Circuit Judge Wallace Jopling. “If this is a game, I won’t be a party to this kind of Waterloo, you understand9”A court bailiff grabbed Bundy by the arm as he opened the door to leave the court and Bundy angrily shrugged it off, saying ‘‘Let go of me. We re going to go to the holding cell.”“Hold on,” the judge said.But Bundy kept going out the door, accompanied by several bailiffs. Jopling quickly added, “This court is in recess.”Bundy’s outburst took place immediately after Jopling rejected a motion by defense attorney Victor Africano for more peremptory challenges.Africano said the defense had used its 23 automatic removal challenges and there “still remains on this jury those who have extensive knowledge of this case” and Bundy’s priorconvictions for the murder of two sorority sisters at Florida State University in Tallahassee.A jury still was expected to be empaneled before the end of the day.The morning session produced the 14th tentative juror, and after a short recess the defense used its last remaining challenge. That left 13 on the temporary panel. Two more people were removed by the prosecution to bring the group to 11, with the defense having no say-so on the 12th juror and the two or three alternates that will be chosen by the court and prosecution.Jopling, who moved the trial here from North Florida because of massive pre-trial publicity, said there has been “extensive and searching” interrogation of prospective jurors by the defense.“The defendant has had ample peremptory challenges in this cause, the judge said.Before jury selection started, Jopling doubled the number of peremptory challenges usually accorded each side, giving them 20 each. Earlier this week, the judge redesignated three defense challenges as his own dismissals. Thus, Africano and co-counsel Lynn Thompson got three extra challenges.Bundy, 33, is on trial for the kidnap-murder of Kimberly Diane I^each, a 12-year-old whose decomposed body was found near the North Florida community of Live Oak two months after she disappeared in FebruaryAP P»Theodore Bundy stretches at the defense table during his second Florida murder trial1978 on her way home frorn school in neighboring I.ake City.Bundy's highly-publicized trial and conviction in Miami last summer for the so-called Chi Omega murders have made jury selection slow in Orlando. Bundy was sentenced to death in that case for killing two Florida State University sororitywomen.One of those rejected was Rose Rossi, a white-haired employee of a human services organization for children. She was one of the first jury candidates selected last week, but she said she doesn’t believe in capital punishment and wasn’t sure” she could vote to recommend the death penalty if Bundy was found guilty.
