McVeigh Sentenced

A federal judge formally pronounced a sentence of death by injection for the Oklahoma City bombing that killed 168. Before sentencing, McVeigh broke his courtroom silence to read a quote from the late US Supreme Court associate justice Louis Brandeis: "Our government is the potent and omnipresent teacher for good or for ill. It teaches the whole people by its example."
