Staying the Execution
|
|
Petition
for a stay |
Lawyers for Timothy McVeigh
ask a federal judge to order
a stay after the FBI revealed
it withheld documents that
should have been turned
over to the defense during
McVeigh's trial. |
|
Federal prosecutors' brief
opposing stay |
Federal prosecutors appeal
to U.S. District Judge Richard
Matsch not to grant a stay
of execution for McVeigh,
arguing that he has no right
to "put the government on
trial." |
|
Defense response to prosecutors' brief
opposing stay |
Lawyers for McVeigh say they believe the government, specifically some FBI agents, knew that others, besides McVeigh and Nichols, were responsible for the bombing. The brief alleges the agents ignored that evidence. |
|
Judge's denial of stay request |
U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch denies a stay of execution for Timothy Mcveigh. |
