Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), who supports efforts to reinvestigate the Oklahoma City Bombing, has been trying for weeks to meet with Terry Nichols at the AdMax prison in Florence, CO where Nichols is serving his life sentence. The meeting took place last week, and LA Weekly has this extensive account. Rohrabacher is pursuing theories that Timothy McVeigh had the help of middle-eastern men to carry off the bombing.

To me, as one of McVeigh's trial lawyers, the interesting part of the LA Weekly article is that Nichols' has finally admitted he robbed Roger Moore, the Arkansas gun dealer.

Terry Nichols' mother is giving interviews as well, and says Terry didn't know what McVeigh was going to do with the bomb he helped McVeigh build. She says Terry thought McVeigh was going to bomb a monument. The LA Weekly article says,

The congressman also said that Nichols claimed he didn’t know McVeigh was going to blow up a building and kill people. “He thought McVeigh might blow up an empty building to make a statement but not kill people.”

And in more OKC news, there was a court hearing Friday in which filmmaker Michael Moore asked the Judge to throw out a libel lawsuit filed against him by Terry Nichols' brother, James Nichols, who claims Moore portrayed him in a false manner in the film, Bowling for Columbine. The Judge took the matter under advisement.

    I was not aware that this blog was run by one of Tim McVeigh's former trial lawyers! Although your involvement is not really the topic of this thread, I would be interested in hearing more about your role in the case.
