For 28 days in Denver in the spring of 1997, a jury of seven women and five men listened to what jurors later called "overwhelming evidence" in the case against Timothy McVeigh:
McVeigh's sister, Jennifer, told of her brother's rage over the 1993 deadly siege at the Branch Davidian complex in Waco, Texas. His former Army buddy, Michael Fortier, testified he cased the federal building with McVeigh before the bombing. Read Fortier's plea agreement.
Prosecutors found McVeigh's fingerprint on a receipt for 2,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate used to make the bomb.
Earlier this year, Timothy McVeigh let a deadline for appealing his conviction pass, allowing the federal Bureau of Prisons to set his execution date. Read McVeigh's request to end the appeals process.
