Description
1 Steven Lynn Abshier was tried by jury in January 1998 for the crime of First Degree Murder of a Child in violation of 21 O.S.1991, 701.7(C) in the District Court of Oklahoma County, Case No. CF-95-2194, before the Honorable Roma McElwee, District Judge. The jury returned a verdict of guilty and found the existence of two aggravating circumstances beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) "The murder was especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel," and (2) "The existence of a probability that the defendant would commit criminal acts of violence that would constitute a continuing threat to society." The jury set his punishment at death. On February 5, 1998, the trial court sentenced Abshier to death in accordance with the jurys verdict. From this Judgment and Sentence Abshier has perfected his appeal to this Court.
