[Colleen Mcedwards, Cnn Anchor:] Now the case against Timothy McVeigh. Defense lawyers want to seek another postponement of the Oklahoma City bomber's execution, and they plan to talk it over with their client. McVeigh is scheduled to die June 11. A motion could be filed as early as tomorrow at federal court in Denver, and that is where CNN's Susan Candiotti is for us this morning Susan.
[Susan Candiotti, Cnn Correspondent:] Good morning, Colleen. Timothy McVeigh's lawyers are planning on meeting with their client on Thursday morning. They'll be going over paperwork they'd like to file on his behalf before trial Judge Richard Matsch, here in Denver. His lawyers say they're optimistic that McVeigh will sign off on a motion seeking to stop the June 11 execution. The decision to file, his lawyers say, is solely McVeigh's. They will be meeting with him for the second time since May 16, the date of McVeigh's original execution. Now this latest move came about as McVeigh's lawyers continued to pore over more than 4,000 pages of documents provided to them by the FBI, not previously turned over before the trial. His lawyers say that they need more time to review these documents. The Justice Department insists that the lawyers have had sufficient time to review all of these documents, and the Justice Department argues that there is nothing in those documents to cast any doubt on McVeigh's conviction. However, if indeed that motion is filed on Thursday, it could cast a doubt on whether McVeigh will be executed as scheduled June 11 Colleen.
[Mcedwards:] Susan is it clear yet what Timothy McVeigh wants? I mean, didn't he long ago drop any further appeals?
[Candiotti:] He did. As a matter of fact, last December, he waived his right to all further appeals, and even passed on a chance to seek clemency from President Bush. However, things change. We have had this admitted blunder by the FBI, in failing to turn over certain documents, and at the very least, McVeigh's lawyers have been able to convince their client to consider all of his options before signing off or waiving all further appeals. They want him to take a look at these documents and seek judicial review.
[Mcedwards:] All right, now help me out with the process a little bit here. What does the court do with this motion?
[Candiotti:] Trial Judge Richard Matsch has several options before him. At the very least, many legal experts say, he could ask the Justice Department to file a response to whatever the attorneys are expected to file. And then he also has the option of scheduling a hearing. Of course, all of this is expected to happen in rapid order.
