...bombing. Both husband and wife changed their stories after agreeing to a plea bargain. Michael Fortier faces up to 23 years in prison for federal charges that include failure to notify authorities of the bombing plot. Jurors today also saw the mangled rear axle from the Ryder rental truck that carried the explosives. An identification number, found on the 250-pound axle, was traced to a Ryder truck rented from a body shop in Junction City, Kansas. Employees there helped produced the sketches that led to McVeigh's arrest. Among other evidence introduced today: a crumpled business card with McVeigh...
...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 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...
Having established that McVeigh was in possession of the truck, the prosecution will seek to reinforce its case by establishing that McVeigh was also in possession of a bomb. The most direct way to do that will be to call an FBI expert who will testify that McVeigh's clothing, tested after his arrest, showed traces of nitroglycerin and pentaerythritol tetranitrate, or petn, an explosive used in detonator cord. Prosecutors will also present evidence to show how, in the months before the bomb exploded, McVeigh set out to gather materials...
After the bombing, Elliott first said that McVeigh was alone when he rented the truck, but then, the next day, Elliott said McVeigh had actually come with someone else--the famous John Doe No. 2; Beemer has said she remembers two men. The prosecution now maintains that McVeigh was by himself. Jones will try to use this confusion over John Doe No. 2 to question the accuracy of Elliott and Beemer's memories. (The prosecution probably will not even call Tom Kessinger, another employee at Elliott's whose statements about John Doe No. 2 have been the most sensational...
