Then finally, in a somber voice, with Nichols' family looking on, Tigar suggested to the jury: "suppose you looked at him as a man who loved his children". Walking toward a teary-eyed Terry Nichols, he offered "this is my brother, he's in your hands." then Tigar wiped his own tears. The mother of one Oklahoma City victim was not impressed.

As for Nichols, "terrorists have families too" he said. Again he asked the jury to focus on the evidence, even admitting mistakes were made.
