"This is not a time for celebration. A man's life is being taken from him. It's something that we wanted, and it's not done out of revenge. It's because we felt it was necessary."

-- Jannie Coverdale, whose two grandsons died in the bombing.

"This is not a day of great joy for the prosecution team. We're pleased that the system worked and that justice prevailed. The verdict doesn't diminish the great sadness that occurred in Oklahoma City two years ago."

-- prosecutor Joseph Hartzler.

"There is no such thing as closure for people who lost family in the bombing. The only closure is when they close the lid on my casket."

-- Darlene Welch, whose 4-year-old niece was killed.

-- Charles Tomlin, whose son died.

"I really did not want the death penalty. I've had enough death."

-- James Kreymborg, whose wife and daughter were killed.

"This investigation and trial have confirmed our country's faith in its justice system."

--Sharon Coyne, who lost her daughter.

"We may not find out if there was anybody else involved, but at least we're going to get rid of him."

-- Raymond Washburn, a bombing survivor.
