...convicted accomplices Terry Nichols and Michael Fortier, that could have affected McVeigh's sentencing, if not his trial--especially if the mystery man was more than a bit player. McVeigh lawyer Richard Burr contended last week that the testimony of a witness who claimed to have seen a Ryder truck and other vehicles, including one containing fertilizer, like the one used for the bomb, at Geary Lake in Kansas the day before the bombing helped save Nichols from the death penalty, because jurors couldn't be certain that someone else wasn't involved. That matters because--as Judge Matsch reminded...
...credible eyewitness saw McVeigh construct his 2-ton bomb, nor could anyone positively identify him as the driver of the Ryder truck who parked the explosives beneath the Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. Prosecutors based their case on evidence that showed McVeigh planned the bombing, rented the Ryder truck, moved into a nearby motel to make preparations and bought a 1977 Mercury as a getaway car.

This Thursday two-time Oscar nominee WINONA RYDER guest stars as the former sorority sister of Rachel (played by JENNIFER ANISTON, Mrs. Brad Pitt). Seems these two have more in common than chunky blond highlights: their characters shared a collegiate (but not collegial) drunken kiss. Will they kiss again? Better question: Why is Ryder--ex-roommate of Gwyneth Paltrow, whose heart was broken by Pitt--now lip locking with Pitt's bride? Rumors have circulated that Ryder and Paltrow had an unpleasant falling out. Could Ryder have picked...
