MANGUM, OKLA. (AP) — Greer County prosecutors and defense attorneys have settled on two more jurors in the trial of a former warden’s wife accused of helping an inmate she fell in love with escape from prison. Defense lawyer Garvin Isaacs said two people were chosen during Tuesday’s proceeding, bringing the overall number to 12. Isaacs says attorneys want to pick 22 jurors and use their challenges to whittle the number down to 12. Jury selection continued Wednesday.
Prosecutors allege Bobbi Parker ran away with inmate Randolph Dial after helping him escape from the Oklahoma State Reformatory in 1994. But her attorneys have said Dial held Parker captive until she was rescued in 2005 at a Shelby County, Texas, chicken ranch.
