What puzzles me beyond that discussion in chambers since the account is all parties were present, is why didn’t the defense make a motion for a mistrial? There are so many red flags on this case it’s unreal, as well as later bungling and/or concealment of evidence which would have exonerated her and gotten her out of the pen close to ten years ago.
Talk about a defendant who got foobared like a tied goat.
100% absolute agreement on that one!!
Probably a public defender with an application in at the DA's office...? Pardon my cynicism....
This is the first paragraph in Tim Harris' biography on the DA's page....
Harris has worked as a prosecutor in Tulsa County for 26 years. Protection of children has always been a focus of Harris’ career as a prosecutor. In 1995 Harris was named Tulsa County’s first Director of Crimes Against Children. Except when one of the "chosen ones" - Mark Allan Eaton - tries to enter a guilty verdict for his attempt to murder two children! (Granted, they were 16 and 17, so almost adults, but that is kinda not the point.) And now that he and his buds have an unlimited "get out of jail" card, they are still shooting up that neighborhood and really terrorizing people. Mostly only on holidays and weekend nights when they get all drunk up. One of the neighbors had a kid murdered, and this neighbor kinda freaks every time they have their little "shoot-fests".... Driving over the neighbors yards. Parking their stuff on the neighbors yards. Last time I visited the area, a couple weeks ago, they had the street blocked so much with so many vehicles that some vehicles driving through the area had to turn around and go another way. I know, I know,...they should just call the cops and report them for being a nuisance!! Oh, wait....
I know Daddy's gotta be proud!! But at least they aren't in his gated community!!
Back to Murphy;
At least they didn't execute her. Like they would have in Texass...like they have done in Texass...executing innocent people.
