...DENVER: Although attorneys from sides in the Oklahoma City bombing trial tried to use Jennifer McVeigh's testimony to their advantage, TIME's Patrick Cole reports that her appearance chiefly benefited the prosecution. A calm, collected Ms. McVeigh told jurors Tuesday that she received a letter from her brother Tim a few weeks before the explosion promising "something big is going to happen in the month of the bull," an apparent astrological reference to April. Never asking what that something was, she followed her brother's instructions and burned the letter. The 23-year-old college student also recalled...
...DENVER: The parents of JonBenet Ramsey spoke to reporters for the first time in four months to address growing suspicions that they might be connected to her death. "I did not kill my daughter," John Ramsey told six members of the local media. Reporters were not allowed to ask about the police interrogation of the parents, nor about the night their daughter died. The conference came one day after the couple finally submitted to separate police interrogations. The Ramseys had heaped suspicion upon themselves by refusing to agree to formal interviews with police and by their seeming refusal to offer...
...DENVER: A key government witness in the Oklahoma City bombing trial told jurors that Timothy McVeigh sat in her living room several months before the attack and described his plan to blow up the Alfred P.

This is a grim epic under way in Denver. Officially, the case is called United States of America v. Timothy James McVeigh, and never has such an appellation been more fitting. The entire country truly seems to be the plaintiff, while the defendant, if the descriptions of him are fair, apparently sees the world as Timothy James McVeigh vs. the United States of America. The nation has mourned for two years. Come the summer, it will discover if it has brought the perpetrator of the horrors of Oklahoma to justice...
...Erdrich and Dorris pressed attempted-theft charges against Jeffrey, who had been working at odd jobs around the country, and was living in Denver. The charges stemmed from a rambling, five-page letter he wrote from the Denver County Jail, where he was awaiting prosecution on misdemeanor charges of beating his girlfriend. He wrote, "Think about what we put up with as helpless children. You beat us senseless, you terrorized us, you made us walk on eggshells, we feared you, and then Louise comes onto the picture. Instead of stopping his abuse, she kicks in." He blamed his own troubles...
