OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The state murder trial for Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols will begin March 1, 2004, a judge decided Friday.
Nichols, 48, could face the death penalty if convicted for his role in the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building that killed 168 people and injured hundreds of others.
Nichols is already serving life in a federal prison for the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. He was convicted on federal conspiracy and involuntary manslaughter charges for the deaths of eight federal law enforcement officers.
