The letter convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh sent to U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch, released Thursday: June 22, 1997 Dear Judge Matsch, I am writing to you with the understanding that you are responsible for assigning my appellate attorneys. It has been represented to me that you are aware of the problems and difficulties I have had with my appointed counsel in the past. With this letter I do not waive anything with respect to those concerns - but if I have any voice in who represents me on appeal, I would prefer Richard Burr, Randall Coyne, and Robert Nigh, Jr. If Stephen Jones must be appointed, I would at least request that Richard Burr and Robert Nigh, Jr. be appointed as co-appellate counsel and that Randall Coyne be authorized to assist Richard Burr. Thank you for your time. Timothy J. McVeigh APTV-08-14-97 1833EDT
