In a brief filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Denver, prosecutors said Pvt. Todd Bunting rented a truck at a Junction City Junction City, city (1990 pop. 20,604), seat of Geary co., NE Kans., at the confluence of the Republican and Smoky Hill rivers; inc. 1859. The rail, trade, and processing center of an agricultural and dairy area, it grew as the supply point for nearby Fort Riley, , Kan., body shop the day after suspect Timothy McVeigh Timothy James McVeigh (aka Oklahoma City bomber April 23, 1968 – June 11, 2001), was a former American soldier who was convicted of eleven federal offenses and ultimately executed as a result of his role on the April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City bombing. rented the truck believed to have been used in the bombing. A mechanic at the body shop is ``confident he had Todd Bunting in mind when he provided the description for the John Doe 2 composite,'' according to the government's brief. Prosecutors say they still are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. another person who may have been with McVeigh when he rented the truck. The mechanic, Tom Kessinger, identified McVeigh as John Doe No. 1, the man who identified himself as ``Robert Kling'' when he rented the truck. Kessinger was the only witness to describe ``Kling'' and John Doe No. 2. In their brief, prosecutors said Kessinger is now prepared to testify that his description of John Doe No. 2 was wrong, that he confused him with Bunting. In establishing Bunting's identity, prosecutors said they relied on Kessinger's description of a tattoo visible below his sleeve, and a baseball cap featuring a zigzag pattern in the front. Some witnesses have said they saw the man described in the sketch of John Doe No. 2 in Oklahoma City shortly before the bombing, but investigators say they're mistaken. Prosecutors said Kessinger remains sure that McVeigh is ``Kling'' and that two other workers who rented the truck to ``Kling'' are sure another man was with him. Stephen Jones, attorney for McVeigh, offered the mistake in identifying John Doe No. 2 as evidence that eyewitness identifications should be thrown out, including the identification of McVeigh. Jones is asking for a hearing to suppress the identifications as evidence. In their brief, prosecutors opposed a hearing, saying witness identifications should be challenged at trial. McVeigh and co-defendant Terry Nichols could face the death penalty if convicted on federal conspiracy and murder charges in the bombing, which killed 168 and injured more than 500. McVeigh's trial is scheduled to begin March 31 in Denver and will be followed by Nichols' trial. |
