From Times Staff and Wire Reports

A prospective juror speculated that Terry L. Nichols was a pawn in Timothy J. McVeigh’s plot to bomb the Oklahoma City federal building. The retired federal employee was one of nearly 100 prospective jurors who have been questioned since Nichols’ Denver trial began Sept. 29. The process was in its 18th day, and prosecutors said a jury could be seated by the middle of next week. Nichols, 42, is charged with murder, conspiracy and weapons-related counts in the April 19, 1995, bombing.
