McVeigh defense lawyer vows safety focus at Oklahoma trial
Stephen Jones, ENID, says protecting Timothy McVeigh is top priority as he leads defense for the Oklahoma City bombing case. He rejects money and fame motives, notes duty to unpopular clients, and faces a paid rate of 125 per hour. Co-counsel Richard Burr and Rob Nigh bring capital case experience as McVeigh pleads innocent to federal anti terrorism charges carrying the death penalty.
