Warden’s Wife’s Trial

MANGUM, OKLA. (AP) — A trial for a warden’s wife accused of helping an inmate escape from prison remains on schedule to start September 20 after a pretrial hearing in the case. Greer County Assistant District Attorney David Thomas says a judge on Thursday set an August 20 deadline for attorneys to file pre-trial motions in the case of Bobbi Parker. He says arguments on those motions likely will be held in early September. Defense attorney Garvin Isaacs says several motions will be heard. He declined further comment other than to say he is preparing his witness list and will be ready for trial. Parker is accused of helping convicted killer Randolph Dial escape in 1994 – then living with him on the run. The two were discovered living on a chicken ranch near Center, Texas, in 2005. Dial has since died.
