Waco Trial

Noah talks to NPR's Wade Goodwyn about the jury verdict in the Branch Davidian lawsuit against the government. Goodwyn reports an advisory jury today quickly decided the government bears no responsibility in the deaths of Branch Davidians at the standoff at their compound in Waco, Texas in 1993. A long seige of the building by federal authorities ended in a fire that killed eighty people. Government attorneys argued the Davidians intentionally set the fire themselves. A judge will make the final ruling in the case.
