Terry Nichols (OKC Bombing Convict) Given Life Sentence (again)
My state just spent 13-million dollars on a new trial for Terry Nichols. One that accused him of all 161 deaths caused by the bomb that he and Timmy McVeigh are convicted of planting in OKC back in '95. The goal was to get the fella the death penalty.
Well, the jury had 4 members that said they were swayed by all of the testimony related to Nichols recent jailhouse conversion to Christianity, so they couldn't go for the death penalty!
My thought is, if I'm a Criminal lawyer in Oklahoma, the next time I have a potential death sentence, I'm going to bring up "The State of Oklahoma v. Terry Nichols". If you can't get the needle for killing 161 people (and an unborn child), no one should get the needle -- that's just not a uniform delivery of justice in any way shape or form.
