Timothy McVeigh tells Houston newspaper there was no John Doe No. 2 in
Oklahoma bombing
The Associated Press
HOUSTON (AP) Timothy McVeigh has written a letter to the Houston
Chronicle stating unequivocally there was never a John Doe No. 2 who
helped him blow up the Oklahoma City federal building.
McVeigh's former attorney Stephen Jones has alleged McVeigh was one of a
group of conspirators in the April 19, 1995, bombing that killed 168
people.
"Jones has been thoroughly discredited, so I'm not going to break a
sweat refuting his outlandish claims point-by-point," McVeigh wrote in
the letter mailed from the federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind. "The
truth is on my side."
McVeigh said in the book "American Terrorist: Timothy McVeigh & The
Oklahoma City Bombing," that convicted co-conspirator Terry Nichols
helped mix the fertilizer bomb, but claimed he alone carried out the
bombing.
"Does anyone honestly believe that if there was a John Doe 2 (there is
not), that Stephen Jones would still be alive? ... Think about it,"
McVeigh wrote.
McVeigh's single-page letter was handwritten May 2, a week before the
government's decision to delay his execution so McVeigh's attorneys
could examine thousands of FBI documents related to the bombing.
Defense attorney Robert Nigh of Tulsa told the newspaper that he could
not comment on McVeigh's statement or on whether it would hamper any
efforts to seek a new trial based on the newly revealed evidence.
"Well, I bet he wishes now he'd followed my advice and kept his mouth
shut," Jones told the newspaper. "And I bet he wishes he'd followed
(appellate attorney) Nathan Chambers' advice and not dismissed those
appeals."
McVeigh, 33, was scheduled to die Wednesday for the bombing. The
execution has been delayed until June 11.
