A state court hearing for Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols has been postponed again as authorities await delivery of recently discovered FBI files. District Judge Ray Dean Linder put off the hearing, scheduled for today, indefinitely to allow more time for federal authorities to deliver more than 4,400 documents involving the bombing investigation. Nichols' May 21 preliminary hearing was postponed after the FBI revealed that it had failed to deliver the documents to prosecutors in the federal trials of Nichols and convicted bomber Timothy McVeigh.
State prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty.
