With a guilty verdict in the first three counts, they then had to answer this question:
“Do you find that the government proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the crime or crimes committed by the defendant, Timothy James McVeigh, as found above resulted in the death of one or more of the persons named in the indictment?”
Answering yes, the jurors then had to answer this question:
“Was the death of such person or persons a foreseeable result of the defendant’s criminal conduct?”
On June 13, 1997, the jury recommended that McVeigh receive the death penalty.
The U.S. Department of Justice brought federal charges against McVeigh for causing the deaths of eight federal officers leading to a possible death penalty for McVeigh; they could not bring charges against McVeigh for the remaining 160 murders in federal court because those deaths fell under the jurisdiction of the State of Oklahoma. Because McVeigh was convicted and sentenced to death, the State of Oklahoma did not file murder charges against McVeigh for the other 160 deaths.
How many charges and convictions for Janet Reno and gang for the human bar-b-que she had over a cult which never threatened the US Citizens until the government went after them?
