Timothy McVeigh spoke audibly in court Thursday for the first time in weeks, saying "Yes, sir, I do" when asked by the judge if he agreed not to contest some items of evidence.

Before the jury was called in, attorneys for both sides agreed to accept a sample of co-defendant Terry Nichols' handwriting, testimony that the South Dakota town listed on a fake driver's license used to rent the Ryder truck does not exist and testimony from McVeigh's brother-in-law that the defendant filled out a W-4 form to work as an apprentice electrician.Testimony began with another in a long line of law enforcement officers who have taken the stand to say that metal fragments and truck parts were found for blocks around the bombed building.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper Vernon Phillips testified a metal fragment was found in the hallway of a store more than a block from the building.
