Ten years ago today, a Denver federal jury returned a death verdict against Timothy McVeigh for the Oklahoma City bombing.
A few weeks ago I sat down with Colorado 850 KOA News Radio [2] host Steffan Tubbs for an interview about what it was like to defend McVeigh. Tubbs also interviewed Houston lawyer Chris Tritico, another principal member of the trial team . The interview aired today as part of a five part series that looks back at the trial.
McVeigh was executed by lethal injection [3] six years ago on June 11, 2001.
What is like to defend the most hated man in America? Would I do it again? You can listen here. [4]
Other parts of the series which include interviews with the prosecutors and jurors are here [2]. [Cross posted at TalkLeft.com [5]]
