Defense photo used to sow doubt in Nichols trial
Records show Morris Wilson could not have been at Geary State Fishing Lake on April 18, 1995, yet a defense witness identified a man like Wilson in a lake photo. Wilson was jailed that day, but prosecutors relied on the image to insinuate Nichols’ presence near the bombing site. Jurors later criticized the tactic and questioned whether it misled them about Nichols’s involvement.
