This guy has a criminal background.

• 1994: Armed robbery in Arizona
• 2003: Aggravated assault in Arizona
• 2010: Carjacking and brandishing a firearm, felon in possession of a firearm in Alabama

In 2010 he was sentenced to 22 years but 6 years later since the first two offenses were downgraded in AZ to no longer being classified as violent crimes or felonies, and also a Supreme Court decision about violent crimes and criminal enhancements he was re-sentenced to 11 years.

Stacy Lee Drake was sentenced to 22 years in prison in 2010. Now he's suspected in multiple recent killings. Why was he free?

I wonder if he will face the death penalty.

*Stacy Lee Drake, 50, a man charged with killing three people in Oklahoma, appeared in court Monday. The court entered a not-guilty plea to the first of the killings on his behalf.

"He had no fixed address. He has an extensive criminal history in multiple states," Kennedy said. "It appears that he was traveling the country in this lifestyle utilizing false names in an attempt to keep from being incarcerated, and what led him to become a person that violently assaults and murders people."

Drake's lawyer, Mitchell Solomon, has handled multiple murder cases in Oklahoma.

District Attorney Jack Thorp said Drake could face the death penalty.
