161 Consecutive Life Sentences for Nichols
Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry L. Nichols proclaimed his faith in God and asked victims of the blast for forgiveness as a judge in McAlester sentenced him to 161 consecutive life sentences.
“Words cannot adequately express the sorrow I have had over the years for the grief that so many have endured and continue to suffer,” Nichols said from the witness stand. “I am truly sorry for what occurred.”
Nichols, 49, had already been sentenced to life without parole in 1998 on federal charges for the deaths of eight law officers killed in the 1995 bombing.
