    You forgot his brother

    Glenn, you wrote:

    There are two ways Ivins is being accused and convicted in the media -- (1) claims that the FBI has mountains of evidence against him and (2) depictions that underneath his mild-mannered scientist facade lurked a crazed, disturbed killer.

    Jean Duley is absolutely the leading witness -- the only witness -- for proposition (2)

    The other witness is Tom Ivins, who told the LA Times and AP that Bruce "considered himself like a god" and claimed to have "sung like a canary" to the FBI, despite not having spoken to his brother since 1985.
