Good Afternoon, I'm Kimberly McBroom.
Timothy McVeigh's attorneys say they've filed an appeal, hoping to delay the convicted Oklahoma City bomber's execution.
That after a federal judge in Denver yesterday denied a SIMILAR request.
At this point, McVeigh's scheduled to be put to death on Monday.
A defense attorney says McVeigh's team is asking for the extra time in order to review thousands of pages of recently- released F-B-I documents.
Manuel Gallegus joins us now from Denver with an update.
