Survivors and families express relief as the bomber Tim McVeigh is found guilty after a 23 and a half hour jury deliberation. Officials, relatives, and victims’ families react with sobs and prayers, while supporters praise the jury’s decision and call for the death penalty.
After the jury convicted Timothy McVeigh in the Oklahoma City bombing, jurors prepare a separate hearing on whether he should face the death penalty. Survivors and relatives describe a life disrupted by the attack while McVeigh’s supporters seek mercy, and families vow not to find closure until justice is fulfilled.
Denver reports the penalty phase in the Timothy McVeigh case begins Wednesday with juries hearing aggravating and mitigating factors. Legal teams expect about a week and a half of testimony from relatives, friends, and witnesses as prosecutors seek the death penalty. McVeigh may not testify. state murder charges loom regardless.
Denver experts say the Nichols case may be harder to prove than McVeigh’s. McVeigh was convicted on murder and conspiracy counts for the April 19 1995 Murrah Building bombing. Nichols faces a separate trial with prosecutors reserving their strongest evidence for him.
