2 Wednesday, February 21, 1996 NATION/WORLD UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 7A Bombing trial to be in Denver The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY — A federal judge moved the Oklahoma City bombing case to Denver yesterday, saying the need to protect the defendants from a public thirst for vengeance outweighs the desire of the victims' families to attend the trial. Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols have been demonized, U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch wrote. There is so great a prejudice against these two defendants in the state of Oklahoma that they cannot obtain a fair and impartial trial at any place fixed by law for holding court in that state." He did not set a trial date. Prosecuters had urged Matsch to move the trial to Tulsa, about 90 miles from the bomb site, so that victim's families could attend easily. But Matsch, chief federal judge in Denver, sided with the defense, which wanted the trial held in Denver. "The interests of the victims in being able to attend this trial in Oklahoma are outweighed by the court's obligation to assure that the trial be conducted with fundamental fairness and with due regard for all Constitutional requirements," Matsch said. The April 19 bombing of the Alfred Timothy McVeigh "Because this was a crime that occurred in their state, Okla-homans wanted to know every detail about the explosion, the investigation, the court proceedings and, in particular, the victims," the judge said. "There is a fair inference that only a guilty verdict with a death sentence could be considered a just result in the minds of many." McVeigh and Nichols could face the death penalty if convicted of murder and conspiracy. Victims' families said it would be hard for some to attend the trial 500 miles away. "I plan on going several times during the trial, but not every day," said Alron Almou, whose one-year-old daughter Baylee died in the bombing and was photo-graphed in the arms of a firefighter. Keith Coverdale, whose sons Aaron, and Elijah, 2, died in the building's daycare center, said, "We in Oklahoma didn't choose for ... only a guilty verdict with a death sentence could be considered a just them to come here and for this bomb to blow up here. We are all victims in this state, and this will bring hardship on some families to attend." result in the minds of many. Attorney General Janet Reno said the government would not fight the move to Denver and would do everything possible to provide survivors and victims' families with an opportunity to follow events in the courtroom. Richard Matech U.S. District Judge Gov. Frank Keating said he, too, would work to see that the families had ways of getting to the trial. With the broad definition used by prosecutors, anywhere from 750 to more than 2,000 people are considered victims of the blast. actually in the building. That includes the families of those killed and the survivors of the bombing, some of whom were not listed. Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson said he had asked federal officials to provide money to help victims attend the trial in Denver. Keating said he had called the governor of Colorado and the mayor of Denver to line up lodging for the victims' families.
