As noted in previous answers, McVeigh waived the appeals which does shorten up the process by a lot.
Also as noted in previous answers, he was a federal prisoner.
For a state prisoner, the basic process is state trial, state direct appeal, denial of cert on direct appeal, state collateral review, appeal of state collateral review, denial of cert on state collateral appeal, federal habeas review, appeal of federal habeas review, denial of cert on federal habeas review. At its most efficient, that is a ten-year process -- see State of Texas. If you are dealing with a judiciary that is opposed to the death penalty (e.g. California) that takes around twenty years.
In the federal system, you only have to do one round of collateral review -- federal habeas -- instead of both state collateral review and state habeas. That shortens the process by at least 4 years. In addition, the Tenth Circuit is relatively pro-death penalty which eliminates another portion of the delay.

There's a huge difference in state run prisons and federal run prisons. Mc Veigh committed a federal crime, therefore, he can be executed a whole lot sooner. It's just too bad the state run prisons don't do the same.... if they did, there would more than likely be fewer people committing crimes.

he wasnt executed in 3 months. the bombing happened on April 19, 1995. he was executed on June 11, 2001. not in 3mnths. granted he didnt sit there for twenty years but he killed 168 women, men, and children. that act of terrorism was what caused him to be executed in a shorter time than other killers on death row.

i do not study you, yet i have had fulfillment with, *seems round* alanon conferences. Shhh, do not spread the be conscious, that is amazingly merciless yet whats up, at the same time as situations are hard you do what you should. the ladies individuals there have egos so fragile in case you purchase them a dunkin donuts espresso they're going to lay down for you. better section is they are fascinated in adult adult males who take exhilaration in some cocktails and "opt for saving". by no skill underestimate the skill of codependency. Play your playing cards top and also you'll have a good searching if no longer somewhat damaged woman by technique of your aspect bringing you beverages and polishing your, um, socks, after very few conferences. strong luck, Brother.

Because Tim didn't avail himself of the appeals process. If he had he would be writing books by now.

McVeigh wanted to be a martyr for his cause. He waived all appeals so that he would be put to death quickly.

Don't forget this was a Federal and not a State prosecution.
