Jurors in Nichols trial go home for weekend
Jurors in the Oklahoma City bombing trial of Terry Nichols gained a weekend break after a fourth day of deliberations with no verdict. Judge Richard Matsch granted time off due to fatigue and a looming storm, as Nichols faces potential death sentence if convicted in the 1995 bombing that killed 168. Prosecution and victims’ families react with mixed feelings while McVeigh voices a broader claim for a process he views as under pressure.
