couldn't believe her son could have been the bomber.
"He is not the monster he has been portrayed as."
"Yes, I am pleading for my son's life. I hope god helps you make
the right decision."
William McVeigh then took the stand and introduced a video the
defense produced with him as narrator.
It was a homey recollection of family life with Tim in Pendleton, New York.
Tim Mcveigh appeared to tear-up briefly but later, was seen
laughing with his lawyers.
Jurors who earlier in the trial had wept at the heartbreaking
stories from survivors of the bombing seemed overall unmoved.

Confusing the issue-- the fact that women who are most likely to douche
are also those already at high risk for infection and ectopic pregnancies.
