Bomb Suspect Evidence Admissible at Trial
A federal judge in Birmingham has ruled that investigators properly seized evidence from bombing suspect Eric Rudolph’s property in North Carolina, making it admissible at trial.
According to testimony at an October hearing, traces of explosives used in a fatal Birmingham abortion-clinic bombing were detected on items seized from Rudolph’s home.
He was captured in May 2003 foraging outside a North Carolina grocery store after more than five years as a fugitive. Rudolph is also accused in the deadly bombing at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 and two blasts in that city in 1997.
