The man known as the "Unabomber" will be sentenced today in Sacramento, California. Theodore Kaczynski is expected to get four life terms in prison plus an additional 30 years.
Kaczynski sent bombs through the mail, killing three people and injuring 29 others. He has acknowledged responsibility for 16 bombings between 1978 and 1995.
The Unabomber claimed to be fighting against the onslaught of technology. Today's sentencing is part of a plea bargain that saved him from a trial and a death sentence.
