Hoppy Heidelberg Alleges Obstruction of Justice in Oklahoma City Bombing Grand Jury
Hoppy Heidelberg, a former grand juror seated in January 1995, claims the Oklahoma City bombing investigation was a sham orchestrated by the prosecution. Heidelberg alleges that his requests for explosives experts, seismologists, and structural engineers were denied, leading to his removal from the jury after he complained to the judge. He characterizes the legal process as an obstruction of justice rather than a legitimate inquiry.

00:00 This is the Jeff Davis show in Dallas, Texas at the Preparedness Expo. We're going to do a short interview with Hoppy Heidelberg who was basically...Hoppy if you'd fill us in, you were kind of a grand juror for the McVeigh trial? Well yeah I was on the grand jury. I was seated on the grand jury January 95 four months before the bombing so it didn't start out being the bombing grand jury but ended up that way So we were seated in January. We didn't become the dedicated bombing grand jury until May of 1995, and then after I realized that there was not going to be an investigation into the bombing
00:42 I wrote a letter to the judge telling him what was going on and he had to answer my letter, it kicked me off the jury. And so we did. Now when you just run your video let me just get to the fine points of this basically you're claiming sir that this whole jury process is dining process was that you would request certain people, witnesses, maybe they might have alternative information. Explosives experts, seismologists, structural engineers those kind of people. Basically you're claiming that the prosecution
01:22 was controlling who was being subpoenaed, what the information that's going to be allowed. So basically your contagion is to sum it up as if the whole thing was a stage... It was sham yes. Worse than that in my opinion is obstruction now I hadn't made any requests it would have just been a sham but since I made the request and was turned down it becomes an obstruction of justice in my opinion Do you have predictions or analysis or whatever, the way you see how this thing might unfold. The trial in Denver I cannot predict what the conclusion will be but it'll be whatever they need. Well whoever who needs?
