Nichols Won’t Appeal State Bomb Convictions
Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry L. Nichols will not appeal his state murder convictions for his role in the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, his attorney said.
Nichols was sentenced to life in prison Aug. 9 after a state jury deadlocked on whether he should be executed. In a brief statement, attorney Brian Hermanson said Nichols did not want to prolong the pain for victims’ families.
Nichols, 49, is already serving life in prison without parole on federal charges for the April 19, 1995, bombing, which killed 168 people.
