Guilty of 161 murders, but spared the death penalty

Convicted Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols has been spared the death penalty by jurors who convicted him of 161 counts of murder but remained deadlocked over his sentence.

The impasse in the state trial is the second time prosecutors have been denied the death penalty against Nichols, who was sentenced to life in prison in 1998 after federal jurors also could not agree on his punishment.
