OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – A panel including a Timothy McVeigh prosecutor, a New York Times bestselling author and the daughter of a bombing victim is being held at the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum.
According to the Museum, author of “Homegrown: Timothy McVeigh and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism” Jeffrey Toobin will be joined by Oklahoma County District Attorney, Vicki Behenna, and Sara Sweet, whose father, W. Stephen Williams, was killed in the bombing. The panel is meeting to discuss Toobin’s new book.
