Re: [CTRL] Oklahoma Bomb Jury to Issue Report

 -Caveat Lector-

  According to my morning paper the grand jury has dismissed our "crackpot
theories" about the Oklahoma bombing and returned a  sealed indictment that
said it found nothing to indicate additional conspirators or a Government
cover-up.  The judge who oversaw the grand jury said the report will satisfy
many people who had serious questions but was worried that "others will simply
now include these jurors as the newest members of the conspiracy."  The
Oklahoma Attorney General, however was really upset about "the worst kind of
paranoid conspiracy pandering" and is not surprised by the jury findings.   He
will be overjoyed to hear that we crackpots are not surprised by the results
of this grand jury investigation either.  Still, fellow crackpots, doesn't
this make you glad to have had our "paranoid" worries calmed so easily?  Prudy

[CTRL] Oklahoma Bomb Jury to Issue Report

Oklahoma Bomb Jury To Issue Report 

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)  Eighteen months and 117 witnesses after it began 
its work, a grand jury investigating allegations of a wider conspiracy and a 
government cover-up in the Oklahoma bombing is expected to release its findings 
Wednesday. 
The Oklahoma County grand jury was convened by way of a petition drive over 
the objections of state Attorney General Drew Edmondson, who called it ``the 
worst kind of conspiracy pandering.'' And both he and the chief federal 
prosecutor in Oklahoma expressed doubt anything would come out of the 
investigation. 
Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols have already been convicted on federal 
charges in the bombing. McVeigh received a death sentence, Nichols life in 
prison. An Army buddy, Michael Fortier, pleaded guilty to knowing about the 
attack beforehand but telling no one. He got 12 years in prison. 
Former state Rep. Charles Key, one of the leaders of the petition drive to 
empanel the grand jury, has said he believes that the federal government knew 
about the bombing beforehand and that others were involved but have not been 
arrested. The government has denied any prior knowledge. 
Key said his efforts were worth it no matter what the outcome. 
``It's always worth it to do the right thing. That's what I and the rest of 
us who have worked on this feel. We've done the right thing for the right 
reason,'' the former legislator said. 
The grand jury has the power to indict, but Bob Macy, the district attorney 
in Oklahoma City, has already said he will bring murder charges against McVeigh 
and Nichols, and the grand jury focused instead on other possible figures. 
U.S. Attorney Patrick Ryan, who prosecuted McVeigh and Nichols, has said that 
the government had ``no credible evidence to suggest that others were 
involved.'' 
And Edmondson said he believes the odds are slim the grand jury investigation 
will shed any additional light on the April 19, 1995, attack that killed 168 
people and injured more than 500 others. 
``I will be amazed if they suggest by name any people involved in the bombing 
that are not even known,'' Edmondson said. 
As of October, the cost of the grand jury was put at nearly $414,000. 
In October, the grand jury complained of attempts to contact members at home 
and of erroneous claims about what some witnesses would say.
