Many said the same thing about a guy named 'Tim' also.
That is a good point that I hadn't considered. Given the glacial pace of the death penalty in most cases, the feds practically tripped over themselves to kill McVeigh.
Why was that?
Because this was a federal case, as opposed to the more typical state death penalty cases?
Because McVeigh chose not to appeal? Did he not appeal, and haven't there been other death row inmates on whose behalf appeals were filed essentially against their will?
Because McVeigh had been tarred as a right wing militia type?
You've raised a good point, and I'm curious now.
