According to court records, the mother and daughter picked Richardson up in Oklahoma City and drove him to Coweta where he hid in the barn with a rifle. After Richardson shot Burney, the trio went to a Tulsa shopping mall, the affidavit states.

Patricia Burney is appealing her sentence. Michelle Burney pleaded guilty in juvenile court and testified in her mother’s trial.

A Coweta woman was sentenced Monday to life in prison without parole possible in the slaying of her husband last year.

In doling out the term, District Judge Darrell Shepherd followed the recommendation of a jury, which on March 6 convicted Patricia Burney, 52, of first-degree murder in the death of Arthur Burney, 53, whose body was found Feb. 18, 2011, in a barn at his Coweta home.

The Burneys’ daughter, Michelle Burney, 15, and her boyfriend, Michael Richardson, 19, also were charged with first-degree murder.

Michelle Burney initially was charged as an adult, but the case was dismissed and refiled in juvenile court last summer.

She pleaded guilty to the murder charge and was placed in the custody of the Office of Juvenile Affairs, Assistant District Attorney Jack Thorp said last year.

Richardson’s next court date is scheduled for May 21.

At a preliminary hearing in June, he testified that he fatally shot Arthur Burney and that Patricia Burney gave him the rifle he used to do so.

Michael Richardson also testified that Patricia and Michelle Burney drove him from Oklahoma City and offered him as much as $6,000 to kill Arthur Burney.

He testified that after Patricia Burney handed him the rifle, she told her daughter to take him out back for some practice shots.

He said he then waited in a tack room in the barn and shot Arthur Burney.

Patricia Burney later promised him the entire $6,000 for the slaying, but he never collected the money, he told the court.

Michelle Burney testified that her mother wanted to kill Arthur Burney because he was verbally abusive and was “always mean to my mom.” She said her mother “wanted him dead.”

A jury on Thursday recommended that an Owasso 18-year-old spend 34 years in prison after finding that he committed first-degree manslaughter when he shot his mother’s on-and-off boyfriend in what a prosecutor called “vigilante justice.”

Hadyn Lee Sainsbury faced a first-degree murder charge for the Aug. 8, 2018, shooting of Roy Cobb, but jurors deliberated for about three hours before convicting the teen of a lesser-included offense of first-degree manslaughter in the heat of passion.

Cobb, 37, was riding his bicycle on Mingo Road near 36th Street North when Sainsbury spotted him, got out of his Jeep Cherokee and shot at him five times with a handgun. Hadyn Sainsbury was en route to Owasso from the Keystone Lake area when he saw Cobb and his bicycle.

District Judge William LaFortune will sentence Sainsbury on Oct. 21. Haydn Sainsbury will be required to serve at least 85% of the sentence LaFortune imposes before he is eligible for parole consideration.

“I’ve been waiting a long time to be able to heal from this disaster in our lives,” Cobb’s mother, Vicki Clem, said after the trial. “I know it’s still not the best outcome in the world. The best outcome in the world would be if my son was still alive, but we couldn’t ask for any better.”

Sainsbury’s mother had called him on the evening of the homicide and said Cobb, who had been convicted previously of burglary and aggravated assault and battery, had physically abused her that day. Assistant Public Defender Stuart Southerland told the jury Cobb was an abusive presence in Sainsbury’s life, as well as for his mother and siblings, and that when he ran into Cobb that night he was “thinking about all the times this has happened before.”

However, Tulsa police detectives said they saw a home surveillance video of the altercation Sainsbury’s mother referenced. Hadyn Sainsbury, who testified in his own defense, admitted Thursday that he deleted the video before police could take it as evidence because “I thought that there was no reason to keep it.”

Assistant District Attorney Kevin Gray said during his opening statement that the footage showed Cobb and Sainsbury’s mother physically attacking each other before Cobb rode his bicycle away from the residence.

Haydn Sainsbury told Southerland he simply wanted Cobb to stop hurting his mother and was not trying to kill anyone. But under cross-examination from Gray, he conceded that he shot at Cobb, striking him twice, after Cobb — who was unarmed — tried to flee. Cobb died early Aug. 9, 2018, at a Tulsa hospital.

When asked why he had a weapon with him, Sainsbury said he obtained one previously “to do whatever I could for my family.” He also said attempts to break ties with Cobb had failed.

“I’m the man of the house,” Hadyn Sainsbury said. “I tried the law. Law has not done (anything) for me.” He and Southerland also alluded to the stress of his long-term battle with leukemia, although LaFortune limited direct references to Sainsbury’s health status during the trial.

Two women who were driving in the area that night testified that they saw a vehicle parked along Mingo Road and that the driver later made a U-turn before driving back toward Owasso. Sainsbury testified that he cut Cobb off on the road after seeing him on his bicycle, then got out of his car and fired.

The women said they later realized a man was injured but initially thought he was the victim of a hit-and-run.

Haydn Sainsbury told police in an interview that “it wasn’t the right thing” to shoot Cobb but said “it was just out of instinct.” Tulsa Police Detective Mark Kennedy told Sainsbury, “We can’t be vigilantes out here,” to which Sainsbury eventually said, “I’m 100% guilty.”

”We knew that he was guilty,” Clem said out of court. “We’ve known all along. And the worst part of it was they had been so smug, like it didn’t matter, but there’s a life gone.”

In his testimony on Thursday, Haydn Sainsbury told Gray he was about 6 to 7 feet from Cobb when he started shooting. However, he maintained that he was not necessarily aiming to kill Cobb but rather wanted to scare him.

”When you’re standing this close to somebody, I mean, come on,” Gray said of the comment during his closing argument.

Southerland said Sainsbury’s actions did not meet the criteria for first-degree murder, which he said is “the worst of the worst a person can do.” He said there was clear proof that Cobb was a negative influence and asked the jury to give Haydn Sainsbury, who was 17 at the time, a chance to improve someday.

But Gray said Haydn Sainsbury was wrong to kill Cobb in an act of “vigilante justice” instead of reporting him to authorities.

Prosecutors most recently filed a felony domestic abuse case against Cobb on July 13, 2018, based on an April 2018 incident in Owasso. The charge was pending at the time of his death.

“You may really hate Roy Cobb,” Gray told the jury. “I don’t care. He didn’t deserve to die in the street.”

Sean Sellers Teen Killer Sentenced To Death

Sean Sellers was sixteen years old when he would murder his parents and in a separate crime murder a clerk at a convenience store. This teen killer would be convicted on all three murders and sentenced to death and would be executed a number of years later and before the United States stopped executing teens who committed their crimes under the age of eighteen.

Sean Sellers is the only person to be executed for crimes committed under the age of seventeen since the reestablishment of the death penalty in 1977

Sean Sellers Other News

On Sept. 8, 1985, Sean Sellers was 16 when he shot and killed Robert Bower, a convenience store clerk in Oklahoma City. According to the testimony of Sellers’ best friend, Richard Howard, who was with him at the time of the murder, Sellers said that he killed Robert Bower because he “wanted to see what it feels like to kill somebody.”

On March 5, 1986, Sean Sellers shot and killed his mother, Vonda Bellofatto, and stepfather, Lee Bellofatto, while they slept in their Oklahoma City home. Howard testified that just after the murders, Sellers had come to his house and told him that he had killed his parents. Howard was also initially charged with first degree murder, but the state dismissed the charge and recommended that he be given a five-year suspended sentence in exchange for testimony against his friend. By his own admission, Sellers committed the murders as a practicing satanist.

Sean Sellers was the 13th execution of murderers who were under 18 years old at the time of the murder, and the first in 40 years for one who murdered at the age of 16. At the time of his trial, his defense argued Sean Sellers was addicted to the game “Dungeons and Dragons” and had no control over his actions. At the time of his execution, Sellers contended he was the victim of a multiple personality disorder.

Former Satan worshipper Sean Sellers was executed early today with Jesus on his lips.

Sellers, 29, died at 12:17 a.m. after being injected in both arms with poisons designed to put him to sleep, stop his breathing, then stop his heart.

Sellers sang and spoke to his witnesses before falling unconscious.

“Here I come, Father,” Sellers said loudly. “I’m coming home.” He then turned to Warden Gary Gibson and said, “Let’s do it, Gary. Let’s get it on.”

Sellers then began singing, “Set my spirit free that I might praise Thee. Set my spirit free that I might worship Thee.” Those were his last words.

Earlier, Sellers began his final statement by addressing relatives of his stepfather. He said: “All the people that are hating me right now and are here waiting to see me die, when you wake up in the morning, you’re not going to feel any different. You’re going to hate me just as much tomorrow as tonight.

“When you wake up and nothing has changed inside, reach out to God and He will be there for you. Reach out to God and He will heal you. Let Him touch your hearts. Don’t hate all your lives.”

He then told his seven witnesses, “I love you all.”

Sellers’ crimes were committed in two transactions. His first victim was Robert Bower, a convenience store clerk, who died because Sellers told a friend he “want[ed] to see what it feels like to kill somebody.” Escaping detection for the first murder, six months later, Sellers killed his mother and stepfather, each with a single shot to the back of the head, making it appear the couple had been attacked by an intruder in the middle of the night.

Afterward, Sellers told a friend he thought he had done a good job feigning his innocent discovery of the bodies and described how he stood in his undershorts while firing the two shots so no blood would spatter and be discovered on his clothing.

At his state trial on three counts of first degree murder, defense counsel portrayed Sellers as the victim of Satanism and occult worship. He further argued Sellers’ addiction to the game, Dungeons and Dragons, dictated his actions and disconnected him from any consciousness of wrongdoing or responsibility. A psychiatric expert testified Sean was “legally unconscious” at the time of all three killings and therefore incapable of forming the intent required of first degree murder.

This case, which originated in Missouri, involved Christopher Simmons, who in 1993 at the age of 17 concocted a plan to murder Shirley Crook, bringing two younger friends, Charles Benjamin and John Tessmer, into the plot.

The plan was to commit burglary and murder by breaking and entering, tying up a victim, and tossing the victim off a bridge. The three met in the middle of the night; however, Tessmer then dropped out of the plot. Simmons and Benjamin broke into Mrs. Crook’s home, bound her hands and covered her eyes. They drove her to a state park and threw her off a bridge.

Once the case went to trial, the evidence was overwhelming. Simmons had confessed to the murder, performed a videotaped reenactment at the crime scene, and there was testimony from Tessmer against him that showed premeditation (he discussed the plot in advance and later bragged about the crime). The jury returned a guilty verdict.

Even considering mitigating factors (no criminal history, sympathy from Simmons’ family, and most significantly for the later appeal, his age), the jury nonetheless recommended a death sentence, which the trial court imposed.

Simmons first moved for the trial court to set aside the conviction and sentence, citing, in part, ineffective assistance of counsel. His age, and thus impulsiveness, along with a troubled background were brought up as issues that Simmons claimed should have been raised at the sentencing phase. The trial court rejected the motion, and Simmons appealed.

The case worked its way up the court system, with the courts continuing to uphold the death sentence. However, in light of a 2002 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, in Atkins v. Virginia, 536 U.S. 304 (2002), that overturned the death penalty for the mentally retarded, Simmons filed a new petition for state post conviction relief, and the Missouri Supreme Court concluded that “a national consensus has developed against the execution of juvenile offenders” and sentenced Simmons to life imprisonment without parole.

The State of Missouri appealed the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, which agreed to hear the case. (Donald P. Roper, the Superintendent of the correctional facility where Simmons was held, was a party to the action because it was brought as a petition for a writ of Habeas corpus.)

A high-profile murder trial is scheduled to begin in Oklahoma City Monday.

Anne Hill was last seen on April 11, 2014.

The 16-year-old seemingly vanished without a trace. She was never seen or heard from again after leaving a friend’s house.

Days later, her car was found abandoned in an Edmond neighborhood, near 2nd and Coltrane.

Six months after Hill vanished, Chole Thomas, then 17, turned herself into police and confessed to taking part in Hill’s murder.

According to court records, Thomas told police Chadd Raymond, then 16, “attacked Anne and strangled her until she died.”

Court records show Thomas allegedly admitted to helping “Raymond dispose of Anne’s body.”

However, Raymond said he did choke Hill, but it was Thomas who finished choking Hill until she died.

Originally, Raymond was charged with first degree murder but, he later cut a deal with the state and agreed to testify against Thomas.

Raymond told the court the plan was to rob Hill and take her car.

So, he said Thomas text messaged Hill acting like Raymond’s older brother, who Hill had a relationship with.

Hill showed up at the apartment where Thomas and Raymond were.

Hours later, she was dead.

Raymond said he and Thomas took Hill’s body and headed south, eventually dumping it in a field in McClain County.

Raymond testified he covered Hill’s head with a sack, hitting her multiple times with a wrench.

He said Thomas suggested that would keep someone from recognizing Hill.

A year after Hill disappeared, her skull and two dozen bones were found scattered in the field.

As far as a motive, prosecutors said Thomas was jealous of Hill because she too had a relationship with Raymond’s brother.

Raymond is serving 35 years in prison for his involvement in Hill’s murder.

Jury selection in Thomas’ trial is scheduled to begin Monday morning.

A verdict reached in the trial of a teenager accused of killing a Peidmont teen.

Chloe Thomas, 19, was found not guilty of first-degree murder, and guilty of second-degree murder Friday evening.

The verdict came as a surprise to the defense who appeared to think she was going to be convicted of first-degree murder for killing Anne Hill in 2014 when Thomas was just 16.

Thomas is one of two teens accused in Anne’s death. Chadd Raymond is the other. Raymond has already accepted a plea deal in the case, and agreed to a 35-year sentence in exchange for his testimony.

Raymond testified both he and Thomas at first wanted to just rob Hill so they could get money to buy drugs. But that robbery went too far and led to them killing her instead.

Throughout the trial Friday, and right down to the verdict Thomas read her Bible, showing no real emotion as her fate was read aloud.

Her lawyer said she’s a changed person and they plan to appeal Friday’s ruling.

“She is a different person that what she was then , she was a very lost soul and in a lot of ways still is, in a lot of ways she is very much still a child even though she is 19,” said Michael Travines, Thomas’ Attorney.

The Hill family did not want to talk, but News 9’s Grant Hermes heard them thanking investigators and prosecutors saying it took a lot of people to get here Friday.

The judge only said the recommended sentence was life, but it’s unclear whether Thomas could receive parole.

A woman has learned her sentence after being convicted in the 2014 death of a metro teenager

Chloe Thomas, 19, was sentenced to life in prison with no credit for time served Dec. 22 in Oklahoma County court.

In November, Thomas was convicted of second degree murder in connection to the death of Anne Hill. Hill went missing in April 2014. Court documents show Thomas, then 17, and Chadd Raymond, then 16, were able to get Hill to come over to an Edmond apartment by pretending to be Raymond’s older brother

Once she was there court documents say they began choking Hill. Raymond told investigators after he started to strangle Hill, he got too tired to finish and Thomas took over until she died. The two then put her body in the back of her car and dumped the body. Her remains were later discovered in rural McClain County.

Thomas was initially charged with accessory to murder, but that was later dismissed. Raymond pleaded guilty to first degree murder and accepted a plea deal for his testimony against Thomas.

After a long road, it was a tear-jerking day in the court room as Hill’s mother became emotional, saying she misses her daughter everyday.

In her statement, Hill’s mother said that Thomas should not be allowed back in society. Thomas became emotional herself, saying she’s sorry for the murder.

Darci Parton-Scoon was the Hill family’s private investigator and says today is filled with mixed emotions.

“It’s the end of a journey and a long one and you get to know and love people over that time and it’s both the grief and joy for both of them,” Parton-Scoon said.

Hill was set to graduate from Casady High School this past May and Parton-Scoon told FOX 25 how her family wants her remembered.

“Remember the girl who got a scholarship to Casady and who trained her animals to be emotional therapy dogs and spend time to volunteer and do those things,” Parton-Scoon said.

An attorney for Thomas says they will be filing an appeal within 10 days.
