The U-S Supreme Court is refusing to stand in the way of a state trial for Oklahoma City bombing defendant Terry Nichols.
The decision represents a new setback for Nichols.
A state trial could lead to the death penalty.
He's already been convicted in federal court and sentenced to life in prison.
Nichols helped carry out the 1995 bombing of the federal building that killed 168 people.
He had claimed that another trial would be double jeopardy.
But the justices rejected his argument, without comment.
