McVeigh appeared in court in El Reno after surrendering in Perry and faced charges of malicious destruction with the government pursuing the death penalty.

Fringe politics Idaho ties to Oklahoma bombing drew militia debate
Idaho fringe politics linked to ten states split over Oklahoma bombing. McVeigh attended a Michigan Militia meeting in January, while Michigan Militia denied involvement. Neo Nazi groups denied knowledge of the attack but urged tips to investigators as they blamed “the Movement.” Militia leaders argued defense of the Constitution and Bill of Rights amid references to Waco and Ruby Ridge. The axis marks the 1775 Revolution start and Oklahoma execution date looming for Richard Snell.
