Timothy McVeigh
was quickly dispatched with. We'll have to wait and see what happens
here, but I agree, it would not be unusual for it to go on for a very
long time.


"Timothy J. McVeigh has decided to end the appeal of his death
sentence for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and has asked a federal
judge to have him executed within four months.

''I do not wish to pursue any further appeals in this case,'' Mr.
McVeigh, who is 32 years old, told the judge, Richard P. Matsch of
Federal District Court in Denver, in an affidavit filed on Monday.
''This decision to forgo appeal is done against the advice of my
lawyers.''

'Mr. McVeigh asked Judge Matsch to set an execution date, or order the
director of the federal Bureau of Prisons to do so, and asked that his
execution take place within 120 days."

I doubt this guy in Boston has the balls to do it.


Good point. I didn't remember that the way McVeigh's ended was
by him deciding not to continue to appeal. That is indeed an
exceptional case and I agree, it's not likely to happen in the
BB.
