Jury Selection Resumes in Warden’s Wife’s Trial

MANGUM, OKLA. (AP) � A judge is considering whether to dismiss some prospective jurors in the trial of a former warden’s wife accused of helping an inmate she allegedly fell in love with escape. Defense lawyer Garvin Isaacs said the number of possible jurors for the trial of Bobbi Parker couldn’t be determined Monday because District Judge Richard Darby hadn’t ruled on challenges made by attorneys. The pool was at 20 on Thursday. Parker is accused of running away with Randolph Dial after helping him break out of the Oklahoma State Reformatory in 1994. Isaacs says Dial kidnapped Parker and held her hostage until she was rescued at a Shelby County, Texas chicken ranch in 2005. Parker has pleaded not guilty. Attorneys want to choose 22 people then use challenges to reach a 12-member panel.
