Two Jurors Picked in Trial of Oklahoma Warden’s Wife

MANGUM, OKLA. (AP) � Prosecutors and defense attorneys seated two more jurors Monday in the trial of a former warden’s wife who prosecutors say helped a convicted killer escape from jail after she fell in love with him. District Attorney John Wampler and defense attorney Garvin Isaacs said seven jurors had been picked by Monday afternoon. Jury selection in the case of Bobbi Parker resumed Tuesday morning. Wampler says he doubts a jury will be seated this week.

Parker is accused of helping convicted killer Randolph Dial escape from the Oklahoma State Reformatory in 1994 and running away with him. Defense attorneys say Dial abducted Parker and held her captive until she was rescued at a Texas chicken ranch in Shelby County in 2005. Dial maintained until his 2007 death that he kidnapped Parker.
