A. Call FBI experts who will testify that McVeigh's clothing, ear plugs and a knife he was carrying, which were tested after his arrest, showed chemical traces of an explosive used in detonator cord; they will then testify that this particular det cord is chemically similar to the kind used in the Oklahoma bombing.

A. Excoriate the FBI lab that analyzed the physical evidence connecting McVeigh to the bomb by introducing a harshly critical Justice Department report, which apparently concludes that McVeigh's clothing could have been contaminated with explosive material while in the lab.

B. Introduce a Kansas receipt for 2,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate fertilizer dated Sept. 30, 1994, found in co-suspect Terry Nichol's home, bearing McVeigh's fingerprint.

B. Point again to the report, a draft of which was obtained by the Los Angeles Times, that said an FBI investigator had no scientific basis to conclude that the bomb was made out of ammonium nitrate; lawyers will also argue that McVeigh's fingerprint was on the receipt because Nichols purposely handed it to him, trying to implicate McVeigh.

C. Present phone records that show McVeigh, Nichols and Fortier making hundreds of calls around the country to various places that sell fertilizer, chemicals, explosives, remote control switches, racing fuel and 55-gallon plastic drums; present documents showing that many of the calls came from hotels where McVeigh and Nichols stayed.

C. Point out that many of the calls were charged to a pre-paid phone card issued in the name of Daryl Bridges; argue that just because the two suspects may have bought such items does not mean they constructed and planted the Oklahoma City bomb; if allowed by Judge Richard Matsch, lawyers may suggest that McVeigh was involved with a group of Middle Eastern terrorists, but that he played no hand in the actual bombing.
