ABSTRACT

The major presentation by the prosecution, in addition to the statement of facts submitted in support of Armstrong's guilty plea, was the state's summary. Michael Zaleski, an assistant attorney general for Wisconsin, reviewed Karlton's actions and their ramifications. Fritz Adler, paul Hill, Karl Armstrong, and timothy McVeigh turned to violence after becoming frustrated with democratic methods. Yet the evidence presented by the prosecution and accepted by the jury suggests that McVeigh was a dissenter frustrated by government, a Gulf War soldier who had served with distinction and thought that the federal government had betrayed him and its calling. In 1916 Friedrich Adler, a brilliant physicist who was also a leader of the Austrian Social Democrats and associate of the key European socialists, shot and killed Prime Minister Count Sturgkh. A modern parallel to Adler's case can be seen in the actions of Paul Hill.
