Joe Neff find a grave

judging by Mr. Nichols' booking photo he doesn't exactly look like the picture of health. I wonder if his health has declined in the past few years since Joe's murder? Joe looked to be very strong and fit....this guy looks like a wimp in comparison to Joe so I wonder who else helped him and how they were able to overpower Joe.

I'm so relieved that this guy is behind bars where he belongs.....finally.

I wonder if he got a little karma from Joe

Very glad they finally got him!

Wow. I never knew this thread existed until today. I am glad to know justice came for Joe and those who miss him.

 

[mom2six]

Wow. I'm so happy to see the news! I followed this case quite a bit early on, but seemed like it was hopeless. Finally, justice! Praise be.

PRAISE GOD THERE HAS BEEN ARREST!!!! It was my uncle, my mothers brother. I am not shocked. I'm so thankful to each & every one of you. For the thoughts & prayers. For caring about my dads case. Thank you! I'm so sorry I've not been on here. It was driving me crazy. I had to pray about it and actually give it to God. After I let it go, He guided the case. I'm so glad hes in jail. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept 24th. We will see after he gets a court appointed attorney what is next. Thanks, love to you all!!!! Marie (missingmydad)

Let's hope Marie and her family can have an early Christmas miracle that any trial does not drag on and that justice will be quick.

The preliminary hearing for Raymond Larry Nichols, 60, of Cameron, Okla.is scheduled for Dec. 4 at 9:30 a.m. at the LeFlore County Courthouse. The judge blocked off a full day for the hearing because the district attorney announced he will be calling at least a half-dozen witnesses during the hearing.

 

[GoBrewers]

Very thankful that justice is being served.

Glad to see this case finally in the "Awaiting Trials" forum!

Court appearance scheduled for Wednesday, 12/4. Looks like the pros has lots of witnesses, so probably an all day session, per above link.

Thoughts and prayers to mmd. This must be a very difficult day for her.

I could have sworn that I saw something that his attorney was changed but am not finding it via google or news. I'll post if I hear anything.

Thanks for the reminder as I've been involved running the FB page for Missing Brian Chris Sexton 23, WV 10/14/13

Nichols to face trial in Neff slaying LeFlore County Special Judge Jeff Singer ordered Raymond Larry Nichols, 60, of Cameron to face trial for first-degree murder in the 2009 shooting death of local bar owner Joe Neff.
Of the multiple witnesses called by the state during a preliminary hearing Wednesday, most were police officers involved in the investigation or were present when Oklahoma Highway Patrol dive team recovered a gun that they believed to be the alleged murder weapon from the same strip pit near Pocola where Neff’s body had been found in 2009.

Figured out what case the attorney withdrew from the case - MI - Coral Pearl Hall
