...answer is simple, says state District Judge J. Manuel Banales, who on May 18 ordered Trevino and 13 other "high-risk" sex offenders on probation to post the signs in their yards. "It will keep people like you, sir, honest," he told Trevino last week after denying a request to rescind the order. "Your neighbors will watch you and make sure you're not taking another child into your home." Hours later, Banales ordered yet another sex offender--No. 15--to put up a sign on release from jail...

(The documents were uncovered by FBI staffers less than a week before McVeigh?s original execution date in May). Those documents, the defense insists, may identify new accomplices - and potentially shift some of the blame from McVeigh?s shoulders...
