Unbeknownst to most Americans, a new trial to determine the fate of video footage recorded by security cameras in downtown Oklahoma City prior to 9:02 a.m. April 19, 1995, is set to begin July 28 in federal court in Salt Lake City. Why a new trial? Because FBI officials have, for more than five years, refused to hand over copies of that footage, and a federal judge seems to have a problem with that.
The plaintiff in the case, Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue, hopes the trial before Judge Clark Waddoups in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, Central Division, will resolve his long-running legal battle with the FBI over the videotape footage he believes will help him unravel the mystery surrounding the death of his brother, Kenneth Trentadue, while also shedding light on the identity of the man referred to as John Doe #2″ during the chaotic days following the bombing. Kenneth Trentadue died under suspicious circumstances while in custody at the U.S. Bureau of Prisons Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City several months after the horrific events unfurled in in downtown Oklahoma City.
Via the Freedom of Information Act, Jesse Trentadue has spent most of the past five years trying to obtain copies of the videotape images captured by more than 20 surveillance cameras operating in the vicinity of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City prior to the detonation of the truck bomb that killed 168 people and injured nearly 700 others.

Remember Paul Harvey? His Easter broadcast prior to OKC was about how the chatter in the middle-east was that there was a bombing in the middle western part of the the U.S. being planned or soon to happen. I remember this, as my dh and I enjoyed listening to Paul Harvey and on Easter Sunday, just as the family settled into the old station wagon, to go to gramma’s for dinner, we were delighted that Paul Harvey came on the radio. So we sat there in our driveway listening to his broadcast wondering if there was any truth to what Paul Harvey was saying. Sadly not long after that day, the OKC bombing happened and I was left wondering how this could have been allowed to happen.
Yep. I agree 100%. She wasn’t a conspiracy theorist. She did a damn good job investigating for her book.
I don’t understand why so many people adamantly refuse to even consider the thought that Iraq was behind the OKC bombing.
I guess it is just too much for some people to handle. And the media (Jayna Davis notwithstanding) were not in the least interested in pursuing anyone EXCEPT Timothy McVeigh.

Well, that is, if they really killed him.
They were probably allowed to sun bake and dissolve from excessive UV rays on the patio of the SAC.
“well, that is, if they really killed him”
timmy & OBL prolly have front row seats at the World Cup & spend the rest of their time on the beach watchin bikinis and sippin mai tai’s.
Why in the hell WOULD the FBI fight the release of these videotapes for so long?
maybe something whacky, like the tapes show the blast came from inside the building.
