Steven Taylor

Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols was sentenced Aug. 9 to 161 consecutive life sentences.
District Judge Steven Taylor gave Nichols life without parole on each of 161 counts of first-degree murder.
Nichols had been sentenced to life without parole in 1998 on federal charges for the deaths of eight law enforcement officers killed in the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.
He was spared the death penalty in both trials when jurors could not agree on a sentence.
