A former federal prosecutor who defended the U.S. government in a lawsuit filed by surviving Branch Davidians was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.

A police officer checking on an abandoned vehicle found the body of former U.S. Attorney J. Michael Bradford shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday.

He said the officer found the body and a shotgun about 75 feet from the car. Cain said it appears the gunshot wound to the head was self-inflicted.

OH yes sir...gun 75 feet from body. Self inflicted. On to next call.

I believe both the gun and the body were found 75 feet from the car.

You misread yourself.

"He said the officer found the body and a shotgun about 75 feet from the car.

Read it again. It says "the body and a shotgun about
75 feet from the car." But I'll agree with you about Clintonites:
they do tend tend to suicide themselves quite a bit.

Must have been a man of some conscience as he didn't want to splatter the BMW (as well as his possible remorse over the Waco massacre).

In other words; everyone with recourse has been paid off. Case closed. Lets go home.

Coinky-dink that this happens just as rumors of Wesley Clark's involvement in Waco (he was commandant at Ft. Hood at time) and subsequent FOB status start to surface.

Them cheap shotguns kick a hell of a lot.

You are right...

Both gun and body 75ft from car...

[ambrose]

let me guess... the grass where his body was found was wet and muddy, but his shoes had no mud on them...

Clinton White House first official act...firing of all U.S. attorneys. Surely he'll attend the memorial of one of his first appointments.

Unfortunate this man didn't see any other way out of his dispair.
