they've cited oklahoma city as an example.even jones, who represented timothy mcveigh who was convicted, obviously, of the 1995 oklahoma city bombing. he have thinks it's rather ludicrous to compare the community-wide trauma here after the marathon bombings to what happened in oklahoma city. you don't want to actually keep a death count but let's face it three people were killed in boston 17 people lost their legs and more than 200 were injured. in oklahoma city 168 people were killed and 19 of them were children. the extensive damage to buildings, there were more than 300 buildings damaged or totally destroyed in the oklahoma city bombing and it was impossible jones said, to find anybody that wasn't touched by it. i can only tell you my experience here. i have a lot of friends who don't follow this case. they saw what was on tv but i think we in our business and they in their legal business seem to think everybody follows this as closely as we do. i can just tell you by experience that's just not true. and i don't think it's
