GUILTY OK - Bashar Burks, 27, & Ashley Easton, 30, OK City & Searra Howe, 20, Midwest City, slain, 2017

[scriabina]

Any ideas on a motive for killing the couple?

 

[Niner]

@SeesSeas - yes me again.... was wondering if I could bother you to see if this hearing is still a "go" for tomorrow?
TIA!

I hate to do this to you @SeesSeas - but you seem to be the only one helping me on this case....
If you have time - hopefully I'm not too soon in asking on an update in the court site!

Here's some fresh baked cookies while you look!

 

[Sincerely]

Does this help?

Let me go look @Niner

 

[Sincerely]

August 14, 2020 at 1:30pm appears to still be in place; however, due to COVID restrictions it will be via video conference.

 

[Sincerely]

It looks like there is also an August 14, 2020 at 9am pre-trial video conference for:
Count # 1. Count as Filed: ABOFF, ASSAULT & BATTERY UPON A DETENTION OFFICER, in violation of 21 O.S. 646, 649-649.2, 650
Date of Offense: 12/13/2019

This is also interesting, if not already mentioned here.
Thursday, August 27, 2020 at 9:00 AM
PRELIMINARY HEARING NORMORE, MARIO JAMES
Count # 1. Count as Filed: CWEDJ, POSSESSION OF CONTRABAND BY INMATE/ SHANK, in violation of 57 O.S. 21 (A)
Date of Offense: 04/27/2020
Party Name Disposition Information
NORMORE, MARIO JAMES

 

[Niner]

Oh - I don't know.... I think I'll leave the shank contraband possession off my notes. I'll make a note, but don't really want to keep up with those hearings. The other one, since it is on the same day I'll go ahead & add.

Thanks (again!) @Sincerely ! Much appreciated!
