Wavering views on McVeigh death sentence split families and faith
Bud Welch, whose daughter Julie Marie died in the bombing, urged restraint and forgiveness after the verdict. He recalled their talk about the death penalty and said his daughter's words showed capital punishment has no redeeming social value. He cited Catholic teaching and the need to end hate as reasons to oppose McVeigh's execution. The bombing left Welch to carry on with the memory of a life lost and a call for healing.
