For the survivors and victim's families of the bombing, the verdict was two

In weighing mcveigh's fate, jurors were confronted by pictures of a
decorated gulf war vetera-- and pictures of a cruel, cowardly traitor.
In the end, they sided with prosecutors who called the attack the "crime
the death penalty was designed for..."

Although there were cheers.... the applause was brief and -- more a release
of tension than a sign of joy.
in fact, there was a sort of collective quiet at the fence surrounding what
used to be the murrah building... as the final chapter of the bombing trial
was closed in the federal courthouse in denver.
There were more hugs, and more tears-- but the elation of a week ago was
gone.

I COULD FORGIVE HIM. I COULD SHAKE HIS HAND AND SAY I COULD FIGURE YOU.

For many people now the healing process can begin. As one survivor put it,
once all the cameras and attention is gone, they're still left with the
ultimate reality that their loved ones aren't coming back.
