I agree that McVeigh and Nichols can still be tried for the deaths on 
Oklahoma territory that resulted from the explosion. Furthermore, as I 
have previously stated, it would have been the constitutional and proper 
action to have tried them in Oklahoma, for conspiring to use a bomb and 
for the use of a bomb. I encourage and support a decision by Oklahoma 
prosecutors to prosecute McVeigh and Nichols for these crimes and any 
others committed by them in Oklahoma. Regarding the manner in which these 
crimes should be prosecuted, it is a more common and accepted practice to 
hold trials of multiple crimes resulting from the same incident 
concurrently rather than consecutively. This is to help ensure a fair 
trial and also proves to be more cost effective. 

It seems I have more faith in the residents of Oklahoma than either the 
U.S. federal government or McVeigh, Nichols, and their defense attorneys.
