Trial Date Postponed for Warden’s Wife

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP/Staff) – The trial of an Oklahoma warden’s wife accused of helping a convicted killer escape from the Oklahoma State Reformatory in Granite has been postponed. Bobbi Parker’s trial for allegedly helping Randolph Dial escape in 1994 was set to start on Monday in Greer County District Court. But her attorney, Garvin Isaacs, says the trial was postponed on Wednesday by District Judge Richard Darby. Isaacs says attorneys asked for the delay following the discovery of FBI investigative files about the case that neither prosecutors nor defense attorneys had ever seen. Assistant District Attorney David Thomas did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment. Defense attorneys maintain that Dial kidnapped Parker and held her hostage until she was rescued by authorities in the Campti community in Shelby County, Texas, in 2005.
