Federal officials set a May 16 execution date for Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, who was convicted of murder and conspiracy for the bombing that killed 168 people in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The
Federal Bureau of Prisons said it had notified McVeigh of the decision. McVeigh,
who is on death row at a federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind., has said he
doesn't want any more appeals, but he has reserved the right to seek executive
clemency. He
let the deadline for resuming his appeals to expire January 11 and prison
officials started planning for his lethal injection. U.S.
Bureau of Prisons spokesman Dan Dunne said officials initially delayed selecting
an execution date until they could plan the event, including meeting the needs
of the victims' relatives and survivors of the blast. The
April 19, 1995, bombing was the worst act of terrorism ever committed on U.S.
soil. The
federal government has not put a prisoner to death since March 15, 1963, when it
executed Victor Feguer, for murder and kidnapping. McVeigh's
attorney, Nathan Chambers, said McVeigh has made no decision on whether to seek
clemency. He
said McVeigh has 30 days to file a petition for clemency with the Justice
Department's Office of Pardon Attorney, which will make a recommendation to the
president. |
