...Fortier. "They are relying on the jury to use their common sense and connect the dots," Cole says. Friday's witnesses were a case in point. A Chinese food restaurant owner told the jury that four days before the bombing, a man named Robert Kling ordered delivery to the Dreamland Motel's room 25 - the same room that a motel clerk had testified earlier that McVeigh was staying in at the time. But on cross-examination, the restaurant owner acknowledged she could not prove that Kling was McVeigh as prosecutors allege; she never saw the man who called...
...witness at the Dreamland saw McVeigh leave with the truck for good, but Fred Skrdla will be called to testify that between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. on the day of the bombing, he saw McVeigh drive it into gas station where Skrdla worked. That was in Billings, Oklahoma, about two-thirds of the way between Junction City and Oklahoma City...
...McGown, the proprietor of the Dreamland Motel, also in Junction City, is another witness who links McVeigh to a Ryder truck. On April 14, McVeigh showed up at the Dreamland and registered under his own name. It is a mystery why, after previously using aliases, McVeigh would have chosen this moment not to hide his identity.

McGown has said she saw McVeigh drive a Ryder truck into the Dreamland parking lot on April 17. At around 4 a.m. on April 18, McGown recalled, she saw McVeigh sitting in the cab of the truck with the light on. However, her testimony could have a complication to it--she has also said she saw McVeigh in a Ryder truck on the 16th, and that this one looked different from the one he drove on the 17th. Prosecutors may also call McGown's son Eric, who has said he saw McVeigh and the truck. According to Eric, when McVeigh...
Nichols owned a home in Herington, Kansas, about 20 miles south of Junction City. The prosecution contends that on April 16 McVeigh parked his Mercury in Oklahoma City and then Nichols drove him back to the Dreamland. Several people saw the car parked near the Murrah building before the bombing. Prosecutors will introduce a handwritten note McVeigh left on the car saying it had a bad battery, ensuring that no one would...
