NPR's Mark Roberts reports on this week's pre-trial hearings for the upcoming trial of Timothy McVeigh. McVeigh and Terry Nichols are charged in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City in April 1995, which killed 168 people. The judge denied a defense request to have key eyewitness testimony excluded from the trial. The judge also heard prosecutors claim that explosive residue on Timothy McVeigh's clothing connect him to the crime.
