...beginning, during the pretrial proceedings, Timothy McVeigh would try to greet Beth Wilkinson with a smile and a hello, a tactic he used with other people in court. Each time, however, she would shoot back a cold glare. The federal prosecutor would allow no attempts at cordiality to mitigate her mission: to convict McVeigh and get him sentenced to death. Last week, after his defense had presented parental pleas for mercy, Wilkinson's words thundered through the courtroom, demanding the life of the convicted Oklahoma City bomber. "All of us can feel compassion for his parents, but they...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: By a 98 to 0 vote, the Senate passed legislation banning those found guilty of federal capital offenses from being buried in national cemeteries or receiving other veterans' benefits.

The front of the shirt shows a picture of Abraham Lincoln's face as if displayed on a wanted poster, and it is accompanied by the Latin phrase shouted by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theater after he assassinated the Civil...
DENVER: Legal analysts and other court watchers following the Oklahoma City bombing trial often criticized Timothy McVeigh's lead attorney, Stephen Jones, for his staged media leaks and risky arguments. Now, it seems even McVeigh has turned on his lawyer: Legal sources tell CNN that McVeigh is considering using "quality of attorneys" as one avenue for his appeal, despite the fact that his defense cost taxpayers $10 million. If that doesn?t float, other issues under consideration as grounds for appeal include Judge Richard Matsch's ban on the defense theory that foreign terrorists were at the heart...
