Jones presented fewer witnesses than he might have called in a hit-and-run case, and even among that small number, there was one whose testimony went terribly awry. Daina Bradley said while she looked out the window of the Murrah building on the morning of the blast, she saw a Ryder truck pull up and a man resembling the notorious John Doe No. 2 get out and run away.
