The jury in the Oklahoma City bombing case has been sequestered, in preparation for tomorrow's deliberations.
This afternoon in court, Timothy McVeigh was described by a prosecutor as a "fresh-faced young man" who is "a mass murderer."
The accusation came as the government delivered its rebuttal to closing arguments from the defense.
Here's Dave Fehling, reporting from Denver.

OUT Q=find McVeigh innocent.

((
He called the Oklahoma City bombing a crime of ghastly proportions.
Federal prosecutor Larry Macke asked the jury, who could do such a thing?
The answer is clear, he said, Tim Mcveigh did it.
The defendant who could face execution didn't look happy. RICK SALLINGER/KCNC-TV: MCVEIGH HAD A SCOWL ON HIS FACE, MCVEIGH LOOKED MAD, HE LOOKED UPSET WITH WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WAS SAYING ABOUT HIM EVEN THOUGH THIS IS WHAT HE'S HEARD ALL ALONG THROUGHOUT THE TRIAL.
Its a case the government spent millions of dollars to put together, doing 25-thousand interviews, sifting through 1000 tons of debris.
The result, said prosecutor Macke to the jury, is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that McVeigh is quote "a domestic terrorist" who went "from intellectual to animal " to impose his will on the United States with terror." JOHN WALSH, CBS NEWS LEGAL CONSULTANT: AND HE SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF TIME, THAT IS MACKE, DEMONSTRATING ALL THE THINGS THE EVIDENCE SHOWS ABOUT TIM MCVEIGH'S HATRED FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
And prosecutors, as they had throughout there case, did not let jurors forget the victims.
Macke said after McVeigh left the truck bomb he could have seen the toys and cribs in the federal building's day care center.
This bomber didn't care, Macke said, he only wanted to bring the building down on its inhabitants.
Later, in his closing arguments, McVeigh's lawyer accused the government of basing it's case on emotion.
Stephen jones urged jurors not to reach their verdict because of sympathy for the victims.
He also said the trial has restored confidence in the judicial system... in contrast to the chaos of the O-J Simpson trial.
He said the final chapter will be written if jurors show they have the courage to find Mcveigh innocent.))
