Nichols’ Attorney Pleads for Jury to Spare Client
Jurors in McAlester began deliberating whether Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry L. Nichols should live or die after a defense attorney made an impassioned plea to spare his life.
“This case is about one person, this man, Terry Lynn Nichols, and whether you will take his life,” attorney Creekmore Wallace said after standing behind Nichols and putting his hands on his shoulders. “It’s about whether you will kill Terry Lynn Nichols, the man.”
Jury deliberations concluded after five hours and were to resume this morning.
