Scott Eizember More News
Oklahoma plans to move forward with the execution of a man convicted of murdering an elderly couple Thursday after a parole board voted against granting him clemency.
Scott James Eizember, 62, is scheduled for lethal injection. He was convicted of the murders of A.J. Cantrell, 76, and Patsy Cantrell, 70, which he carried out in 2003. His attorneys do not contest Eizember’s guilt, but argue his life still has worth, The Associated Press reported.
“I make no excuses. I belong in prison,” Eizember told the parole board in December. “I’ve said that right from the start, and I apologize profusely to all the victims and when I say all, I mean the entire Creek County community.”
“He has felt remorse every day of his imprisonment. There is no reason to kill him next month other than revenge,” attorney Mark Henricksen said at the time.
Prosecutors say Eizember broke into the Cantrell’s home in order to more easily stalk his ex-girlfriend, who lived across the street. They allege Eizember waited for the couple to leave the home before entering, and that he murdered them when they came home unexpectedly.
Prosecutors say he shot Patsy with a shotgun and then used the shotgun to beat A.J. to death, though defense attorneys argued Patsy was shot while A.J. and Eizember struggled over the weapon, the AP reported.
Immediately after the killings, prosecutors said, Eizember entered the home of his ex-girlfriend, Kathryn Smith, and shot her son in the back and attacked Smith’s mother. Both survived the encounter and Eizember fled the scene, according to the AP.
Eizember wasn’t caught until months later. Authorities said he was attempting to travel to Arkansas by holding another couple at gun point and forcing them the drive him there. The husband was able to recover a pistol he had hidden inside his vehicle and shot Eizember four times before calling the police.
Oklahoma executed death row inmate Scott Eizember Thursday morning at the state penitentiary in McAlester.
Scott Eizember was on death row for the 2003 murder of A.J. and Patsy Cantrell in Depew. The state said Eizember had been hiding in the Cantrell house, stalking their neighbor, who was his ex-girlfriend
When the Cantrells arrived home unexpectedly, Eizember struggled with them and Patsy was accidentally shot while A.J. was bludgeoned to death by Eizember. In the days after the attack, Eizember went on the run, even carjacking a couple before eventually being arrested in Texas.
“It was my solemn duty this morning to be present for the execution of Scott James Eizember, whose terrible crimes shattered a loving family and sentenced them to a lifetime of grief and loss,” Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said in a news release. “After nearly 20 years, justice is served. I understand that nothing can ever lessen the pain of a loved one’s death, but I pray that today brings closure and some measure of peace to the Cantrell family.”
In December, the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board voted against recommending clemency for Eizember
Eizember was the first of 10 death row inmates set to be executed this year in Oklahoma. One execution is scheduled for nearly every month of 2023.
Oklahoma’s next scheduled execution is on Feb. 16 for death row inmate Richard Glossip. Gov. Kevin Stitt has delayed Glossip’s execution twice in the past year, issuing executive orders to “allow time for the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals to address pending legal proceedings.”

Victoria Duron More News
Texas high school student has been charged with capital murder in the death of a 16-year-old runaway during a suspected drug deal gone wrong.
Victoria Duron, 17, claims her boyfriend, who is a minor and has not been named publicly, shot Tyrone Fiamahn dead, The Houston Chronicle reported.
Deputies from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office were called to the motel in West Houston after a report of a possible death in one of the rooms around 8pm on December 16.
When they arrived they found Duron with multiple gunshot wounds to his head, neck, back and arm.
Police believed he had been dead for several days, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
Duron told investigators she knew Fiamahn as Knox and that he was her boyfriend’s drug supplier. She said her boyfriend sold narcotics he got from him
Duran said the pair had met with the victim several times before the fatal shooting, court records reveal.
The night of his death Victoria Duron claimed Fiamahn accused her and her boyfriend of stealing drugs, which the couple denied.
She said her boyfriend then shot Fiamahn multiple times, court records obtained by DailyMail.com show.
Before fleeing, the pair rummaged though Fiamahn’s belonging stealing $1,000 and taking THC vapes from his backpack and the victims phone and rifle.
Victoria Duron said the pair went to her boyfriend’s uncles house where they both confessed to the killing.
She said the uncle helped the pair burn the clothing they were both wearing during the day of the shooting.
On December 16, video surveillance taken from the motel shows a man and a woman – wearing hooded jackets – getting dropped off in a Ford F150 Lyft truck.
The pair are seen knocking on the door, someone on the other side opens the door – the couple enter in the same room Fiamahn was found in, court records reveal.
Around 10.50pm, a man and woman – with their heads down and faces covered – leave the room.
Court documents state ‘the man appeared to have something in his pants keeping him from moving in a normal manner,’ the news outlet reported.
The pair are then seen leaving in a Lyft vehicle – a Kia Optima. Both Lyft vehicles and the rides were traced back to Duron’s father’s phone number.
According to court documents, cellphone records show Duron was near the motel at the time of the murder.
Duron gave a voluntary statement to police – that was made available in court documents on Tuesday – but investigators said in those documents she gave partial truths and lied several times in her statement.
It was still unclear which of Duron’s statements were considered false by authorities, and how that was determined.
There was no further information provided on Duron’s alleged boyfriend, according to Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
A GoFundMe has been created by a family member of Fiamahn to help with funeral expenses.
‘Tyrone was a very energetic individual since he was a child. His smile would stretch from ear to ear leaving you no choice but to smile back and even laugh.
‘A smart, outgoing and courageous person; Tyrone never seemed to ever be bothered by his surroundings no matter the situation or condition, he always made the best of what he had,’ they wrote.
‘He cared for his family and friends dearly. Sadly his life was cut short in the most tragic way one could imagine.
‘He had a bright future ahead of him with his family right behind. Unfortunately, we will not get to see our brother, our cousin, or our friend graduate from high school or achieve any of his life goals,’ they said.
As of Wednesday, nearly $2,000 has been raised towards their goal of $20,000.
Caleb McGillvary who is better known as Kai The Hitchhiker has recently had a Netflix documentary aired regarding his story and a brutal murder. According to court reports Caleb McGillvary had met the victim 73-year-old Joseph Galfy Jr at New York City Times Square and the retired lawyer invited him back to his home in New Jersey. Two days after their initial meeting Caleb McGillvary fatally beat the older man to death. Now Caleb McGillvary attempted to tell the court that he acted in self defence after Joseph Galfy Jr drugged and sexually assaulted him, this accusation was never proven. Caleb McGillvary would be arrested, convicted and sentenced to 57 years in prison.
A Union County jury has found a minor Internet celebrity guilty of murdering a prominent attorney in his Clark home in 2013.
Caleb “Kai the Hitchhiker” McGillvary, 30, was convicted Wednesday of first-degree murder. He now faces up to life in prison.
Prosecutors say McGillvary brutally beat 73-year-old Joseph Galfy Jr. about two days after the two met by chance in Times Square. Galfy, a retired Army major and partner in a Rahway law firm, allowed McGillvary, a drifter and self-declared “indigent illegal immigrant from Canada,” to stay at his home.
McGillvary claimed that he hit Galfy in self-defense, suggesting that Galfy may have drugged and raped him. McGillvary said investigators ignored evidence of Galfy’s semen.
But prosecutors say Galfy’s injuries contradicted McGillvary’s claims of self-defense and that the professional hitchhiker made inconsistent statements to investigators and cut his long hair to avoid being recognized after the slaying. Despite the freshly shorn appearance, a barista in Philadelphia recognized the neck-tattooed McGillvary three days later and called police.
Prosecutors said Galfy’s 5-foot-5 and 230-pound frame suffered numerous blows to the face, neck, chest and arms. His skull was cracked in three locations, he had four broken ribs and serious bruisings, scrapes and bleeding. His partially clothed body was found by police on May 13, 2013.
“This was a brutal, vicious, senseless crime, and we are pleased that the interests of justice have been served,” Acting Union County Prosecutor Michael A. Monahan said Wednesday after the verdict. “We sincerely thank the jury for their service and hope that today’s verdict brings some measure of solace to Mr. Galfy’s family, friends, and loved ones.”
McGillvary achieved some internet notoriety early in 2013 after a bonkers interview with a Fresno, California TV station in which he described how he saved a woman from an attacker who claimed to be Jesus. McGillvary said he beat back the attacker using a hatchet.
McGillvary’s trial also was marked by outbursts, NJ.com reported.
His Facebook fan page on Wednesday posted a “message from Kai” that said that “this false conviction WILL be overturned” and that he is “looking for a REAL lawyer who can ACTUALLY, EFFECTIVELY argue my case for appeal.”
“I just watched four weeks of railroading and with the most pathetic closing argument I have ever heard: a closing argument that flew in the face of facts and was designed only to harm my case,” the statement says. “Don’t worry though, we have been documenting everything and already have more than enough instances of misconduct, abuse of discretion, and ineffectiveness of defense counsel to overturn this false conviction and get a new trial.”
McGillvary faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced June 13 in Elizabeth. A spokesman for the prosecutor declined to comment on McGillvary’s immigration status.
McGillvary gained internet fame in February 2013 after intervening in an attack on a California utility worker in which he described using a hatchet to fend off the attacker, who weighed 300 pounds and claimed to be Jesus Christ.
The YouTube video of the interview garnered more than 1 million views. McGillvary also appeared a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
McGillvary, 32, was found guilty of first-degree murder in 2019 and sentenced to 57 years in prison. He will not be eligible for parole until Oct. 27, 1961 when he will be 73 years old.
In a July 3 blog posted on Facebook, McGillvary wrote that he hoped the appellate judges would be “heroes” and overturn the conviction.
But he also vowed that if the judges “rubber stamp the false conviction,” he would take the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
A denial of his appeal, McGillvary wrote, “would be an open (and VERY public) admission that the corruption in the Union County judiciary extends to the entire state.”
The appellate court rejected McGillvary’s claims the evidence did not support the murder conviction, his counsel was ineffective and Union County Superior Court Judge Robert Kirsch made errors during the four-week trial.
McGillvary also drafted his own legal brief in the appeal, raising several points, including that he was denied the right to represent himself during the trial
ut the appellate court, in its 36-page decision, found no merits in all the arguments.
The appellate judges noted that Kirsch had “noted the overwhelming proofs that (McGillvary) caused the victim’s death” including evidence that Galfy had suffered a broken neck, broken ribs and “the mauling of his head” to the point where his ear was torn with the cartilage visible.
In his defense, McGillvary claimed he acted in self-defense to ward off Galfy’s sexual advances, but the appellate judges wrote that “Galfy was a seventy-four-year-old man, smaller in stature than (McGillvary), and the severity and number of his injuries supported the jury’s conclusions that (McGillvary) knew his actions created substantial risk of death, or that he was aware that death was practically certain to result.”
“The record does not suggest a miscarriage of justice occurred,” the judges wrote.
The judges also wrote there is “little support” for the points that McGillvary raised in his own legal brief.
McGillvary argued the trial should have been moved out of Union County because Galfy was a former law partner of the presiding criminal judge in the county.
McGillvary also contended that Kirsch treated him “disrespectfully” during the trial and that he should have been permitted to call the prosecutor and the judge as witnesses.
The court found no evidence to support those claims, adding that even as Kirsch was denying McGillvary’s motion to represent himself, he “continuously interrupted” him and previously had “outright disregarded” the judge and had delivered an “unrestrained outburst” describing the trial as a “kangaroo court.”
McGillvary, a native of Canada, testified he led a “home-free” lifestyle in which he played music and worked construction jobs when he needed money, but otherwise spent his time surfing.
After the California incident, he made his way across the United States, being offered food and places to stay by people who knew him from the internet, eventually ending up in New York City when he met Galfy in Times Square about a day and a half before the killing.
Galfy invited McGillvary to his home where he stayed the night then left after breakfast, McGillvary testified at the trial. After plans to meet an internet friend in Asbury Park fell through, McGillvary decided to spend a second night at Galfy’s house.
After a dinner and a few beers, McGillvary testified he “was feeling like really warm and fuzzy” and the last thing he remembered before falling asleep was hearing the theme song to “Jeopardy.”
When he awoke, McGillvary testified, he was in Galfy’s bedroom and the man was trying to sexually assault him.
“I was trying to get him away from me,” McGillvary testified. “That’s all I can remember.”
He was arrested days later in the Greyhound Bus terminal in Philadelphia.
“You are crafty, you are cunning, you are disingenuous, and you are manipulative,” Kirsch told McGillvary at the sentencing, describing numerous ways in which the he attempted to cover his tracks in the period following the killing, including cutting off his distinctive long hair. “And when you become eligible for parole, you will still be younger than Mr. Galfy was when you murdered him.”

Kelsey Turner More News
A former men’s magazine model was sentenced Tuesday in Nevada to 10 to 25 years in prison for killing a California doctor whose bludgeoned corpse was found in 2019 in the trunk of her abandoned car just outside Las Vegas.
Turner, a former model for Playboy Italia and Maxim magazines, was tearful in court but did not make a statement, CBS affiliate KLAS-TV reported.
Her sentencing followed sentencing in July for her 29-year-old former boyfriend, Jon Logan Kennison, to 18 to 45 years in prison. He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and conspiracy.
Police and prosecutors said Kelsey Turner had “an intimate relationship” with Burchard, and Burchard paid the rent on a Las Vegas home where Turner and Kennison lived with a roommate, Diana Nicole Pena.
Police put Kennison, Turner and Pena together at the time Burchard was reported missing by his longtime girlfriend in Salinas, Judy Earp, and said it appeared that Turner, Kennison and Pena abruptly moved out of the home after Burchard was killed.
The Clark County coroner found that Burchard was beaten to death with head injuries from an unspecified object that left what police called a unique pattern.
Police also said they found a door broken in half; blood, cleaning supplies and items bearing Kennison’s name in a bedroom in the house; and apparent blood, footprints and more cleaning supplies in the garage. Blue and white bath towels found at the house matched a towel found with Burchard’s body in Turner’s blue Mercedes Benz coupe, police said.
Pena’s and Kennison’s fingerprints were found in the car, according to police, along with a baseball bat.
In court on Tuesday, Earp accused Turner of forging Burchard’s signature and stealing money from him, and said she believed Turner “lured” Burchard to Las Vegas in 2019 by saying she was sick and couldn’t afford to take care of her child, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
Earp previously told KLAS-TV that Turner stole upwards of $300,000 from Burchard after he attempted to cut her off.
“She printed on her home computer checks with Tom’s name and account number and her address. She also went online and made many charges paying her bills,” Earp said to the court, according to CBS affiliate KLAS-TV. “His last words to me were, ‘she’s such a pervasive liar that I had to see for myself.'”
Police and prosecutors said Turner, Kennison and Pena killed Burchard in March 2019 and left his body in the trunk of Turner’s car. The vehicle was found abandoned on a dirt road between Las Vegas and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
Pena, now 34, a former bartender at a Las Vegas Strip resort, pleaded guilty in June 2019 to accessory to murder. She testified that she helped clean the crime scene after Burchard was killed and fled Las Vegas with Kennison and Turner.
Turner was later arrested in Salinas and Kennison was arrested in Las Vegas.
The Review-Journal reported that Turner’s public defense attorney, Ashley Sisolak, told Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny that she and Turner believed the plea deal was the best resolution to the case.
