John Bush and Matthew Medina attended pretrial hearings on March 8 at the Austin Community Court regarding motions to dismiss their cases for improper notice. Guided by Eddie Craig, the activists challenged the court's subject matter jurisdiction before the case was moved to municipal court. The hearings were reset for April 12 to allow the defendants to secure legal counsel and file additional constitutional motions.

Jack DeVault provides a technical account of the April 19, 1993, gas attack. He describes how tanks driven by agents like R.J. Craig methodically destroyed exits and injected massive amounts of CS gas to drive the Davidians into a central concrete block room. DeVault argues that the FBI intentionally trapped the women and children in an area where they could not escape the subsequent fire and smoke.
