LINDA STOUFFER, CNN ANCHOR: In the news right now: Less than two weeks before Timothy McVeigh's scheduled execution, his attorneys are planning to go back to court. They're expected to file a motion as early as tomorrow asking for another delay of the convicted Oklahoma City bomber's execution. CNN's Susan Candiotti has more for us on this one.</s>SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Timothy McVeigh waved all further appeals months ago. He even passed on a chance to ask President Bush for clemency, but things change. As soon as Thursday, McVeigh's lawyers are expected to ask trial Judge Richard Matsch to stop the June 11 execution. McVeigh's lawyers apparently found a reason to ask the court for more time after combing through more than 4,000 pages of new material -- material they did not have before trial. Here is what McVeigh's attorney, Rob Nigh, is saying. Quote - "Mr. McVeigh believes the information that we have discovered is worthy of judicial review. We are optimistic that he will permit us to make a filing on his behalf. No final decision will be reached until we meet with him in person later this week." But would trial Judge Richard Matsch agree that a stay is in order? Not surprisingly, the Justice Department says nothing has changed. This statement from a spokeswoman. The Justice Department has reviewed the documents carefully, and we are prepared to defend McVeigh's conviction and sentence that has been imposed. The attorney general has delayed the execution date to give all the attorneys sufficient time to review the documents. He will not support another delay based on documents that cast no doubt about the surety of McVeigh's guilt. So will McVeigh walk into the death chamber, be strapped to this table and receive a deadly mix of chemicals? Assuming his lawyers file their motions Thursday, McVeigh may only have 11 days to learn whether he will live or die come June 11. Susan Candiotti, CNN, Denver.
