FBI admits errors in McVeigh case and withholds evidence
FBI Director Louis Freeh acknowledged a serious error in failing to supply Timothy McVeigh's defense with evidence in the Oklahoma City bombing. He said headquarters repeatedly asked field offices to send material, with 11 requests in 1995 and 1996. Freeh ordered a records search committee and a dedicated records office to prevent future lapses. He stressed the case's guilt remains unchallenged.
