Fair-minded but Harsh Judge Smith Leads Branch Davidian Civil Trial
On Monday civil trial of Branch Davidian survivors' wrongful death suit against the federal government begins with jury selection. U.S. District Judge Walter Smith, noted as fair yet sometimes harsh, presides. The suit seeks 673 million dollars over alleged excessive force in the 1993 raid and ensuing fire. The case follows a 1994 criminal trial where eight Davidians were convicted of voluntary manslaughter and weapons charges. Supporters praise Smith's even handling of the courtroom, while critics view his prior sentences as overly punitive.
