The defense argued that Nichols had been controlled by a " dominant, manipulative " McVeigh and urged jurors not to be persuaded by the " flood of tears " of the victims who testified.

" Nichols ' account is that " Murphy's law " came about through conversation among the other members of the team ; it was condensed to " If it can happen, it will happen ," and named for Murphy in mockery of what Nichols perceived as arrogance on Murphy's part.

Hill and Nichols believe Murphy was unwilling to take the responsibility for the device's initial failure ( by itself a blip of no large significance ) and is to be doubly damned for not allowing the MX981 team time to validate the sensor's operability and for trying to blame an underling when doing so in the embarrassing aftermath.
