It may have been snowing in Denver but Stephen Jones was a bit hot

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that his client, Oklahoma City
bombing defendant Timothy McVeigh, has confessed to his attorneys.
The paper says it obtained defense team notes that show McVeigh rejected
setting the bomb at night, instead opting for business hours because
his goal was a quote "body count."
The notes, according to the paper, also reportedly detail how McVeigh, with
help from co-defendant terry nicohols, obtained and mixed fertilizer with nitro
racing fuel, and then drove the massive homemade bomb by himself in the Ryder
truck to the Murrah federal building.
The story comes with McVeigh's trial just one month away. Jury questionaires
have already been sent out to people in Denver
where the trial will be held in federal court.
Lead defense attorney Jones says he does not believe that the
story will hurt McVeigh.
