Jurors shielded by wall in McVeigh case Denver
The McVeigh trial jurors will sit behind a permanent 6 inch thick beige wall to shield them from reporters and most spectators in Denver. The curved barrier rises from 3 to 10 feet and blocks about 75 percent of spectator view and telecast coverage. McVeigh, 28, faces the death penalty on murder conspiracy and weapons counts for the Oklahoma City bombing that killed 168 and injured more than 500 on April 19, 1995.
