Timothy McVeigh's attorney speaks and suggests his client may have been a fall guy.
This is the CBS Sunday Night News with Russ Mitchell.
And good evening. With Timothy McVeigh facing a sentence of death, his lead attorney suggested tonight, the jury had not learned the whole story.
In an exclusive interview with Dan Rather on the CBS News broadcast, 60 Minutes, Stephen Jones said the jurors who convicted McVeigh were not allowed to hear evidence of a wider conspiracy.
There's also some evidence that suggests that he may simply have been a patsy, that he may have been used and involved by others and a sort of a convenient fall guy and permitted himself to be used.
And his views about Waco were taken over and used as the inducement.
There are others in the McVeigh case speaking out, jurors who say even after spending seven weeks listening to evidence, they still don't have the answer to one of the most important questions.
And to McVeigh's father, Kristin Jeanette Myers has more.
Timothy McVeigh has been transferred under heavy guard from his special cell in the Denver Federal Courthouse back to prison in Englewood, Colorado.
And for the first time, McVeigh's father has spoken.
It's been terrible. We're real disappointed, but that's the way it goes.
In an interview with CBS affiliate WIVB in Buffalo, Bill McVeigh said he was well treated in Denver, even by the victim's family.
At least 10 of them would come up and talk to me while I was eating breakfast and a couple of wives having a drink the other day.
I think this is off of their condolences instead of their praying for me.
Jurors say there is one thing they'd all like to ask McVeigh.
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
I would have liked to have known when in his life he changed.
But a few added it wouldn't have made a difference.
Some even understand why McVeigh appeared unmoved and stoic throughout the trial seven weeks.
To be on trial for a crime of such magnitude, it was probably better off for him not to make any expression on this case whatsoever.
The McVeigh jurors prepare to return to their lives as retirees, a landscaper, waitress, nurse, apartment manager, and computer programmer.
They respond with one voice on whether they'll ever serve on a jury again.
No.
