Oklahoma City bombing victims split on state murder trial
Victims and relatives in Oklahoma City are divided over pursuing a state murder trial for Timothy McVeigh after his federal conviction. Some say it would be costly and painful, while others call it fitting, as officials note added costs to prosecution and security. Experts cite financial damage exceeding a billion dollars locally, with total costs likely far higher.

Judge restricts McVeigh penalty phase to avoid lynching
Federal prosecutors seek gut wrenching testimony from victims and relatives while Judge Richard Matsch bars graphic or sensational evidence. He allows limited Branch Davidian siege testimony to illuminate McVeighs views of the government. The hearing outlines aggravating and mitigating factors and notes McVeigh could testify but cautions it may affect appeals. The jurors will decide between death and life, with a unanimous verdict required.
