Prosecutors came to court this morning with what attorney Beth Wilkinson
called "an avalanche of evidence against Terry Nichols."
In her closing statement she outlined the government's case, calling it
"the road to destruction". It began in the fall of 1994, when Nichols bought
2000 pounds of amonium nitrate. On various dates along
the road Nichols and Timothy Mcveigh obtained different ingredients for the
bomb and Nichols robbed an Arkansas amunitions dealer to finance the
operation.
With the ingredients and the valuables hidden in storage lockers, Nichols
and Mcveigh waited..
Until Easter Sunday, three days before the bombing, when they stashed the
getaway car in Oklahoma City. then, the day before the blast, at this kansas
lake, together they built the bomb.
Defense Attorney Michael Tigar began with a request for the jury "let me
start with a clean page". as his client's parents, siblings and wife Marife
watched, Tigar attacked the prosecution's evidence. He called FBI lab tests
flawed and harped on the fact that the prosecution's star snitch Michael

Heinz Prechter's the guy who started putting sunroofs in cars in the 1960s.
Today, the Michigan auto parts magnate is a very good friend of the
Republican National Committee.
The RNC and its committees gave more than 2-point-1 million dollars to Jim
Gilmore.
It gave almost 200- thousand to the Republican Party of Virginia -- which
helped Gilmore big time.
Individual donors give money to the RNC -- in the sunroof guy's case, more
than 180- thousand dollars in the last four years.
And then the Gilmore campaign hits up those national donors individually.
So on election day, when Gilmore didn't even need his help, Heinz Prechter
gave five thousand dollars directly to Gilmore.
It's all legal.
It probably won't buy the sunroof guy any influence in Virginia.
But it may in Washington.
And he may sell a few more sunroofs in Virginia if we get rid of that car
tax.
