Court Considers State Charges in Bombing

A hearing will start May 5 to determine whether enough evidence exists to try Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry L. Nichols on 160 counts of murder, a judge ruled.
Nichols, already convicted of federal involuntary manslaughter charges and sentenced to life in prison for his role in the 1995 bombing, faces death if found guilty on the state charges.
Timothy J. McVeigh was executed in 2001 for the bombing.
