It convicted. Newberry could lace
the death penalty
Three people have been given the
death sentence in Creek County
since the death penalty was
reinstated in Oklahoma 12 years
ago
Not since the 1930s has a Creek
County defendant died as a result ot
the sentence
One defendant died w hile his death
sentence was licing appealed alter a
1974 conviction and two other death
sentences were set aside
In that 1974 case involving the
murder ol Sharon Bush, it took a
jury one hour and 15 minutes to
sentence delendant 1 homas Andrew
Bias to death, according to Asssis-
tant District Attorney Luther
Cowan.
Another delendant in the case.
Jess Henson, died while his death
sentence was in the process ol ap-
peal
Cowan said Oklahoma was one ot
the tirst states to adopt new laws
governing the death penalty
He said the law that was in eltect
in 1973 is the reason w by there has
not tieen a recent execution in
Oklahoma
Delendant Monte Lee biddings
was sentenced to death in l reek
County in 1977 alter the newest death
penalty law was signed, but the
sentence was changed to life in
prison alter errors were noted in the
tirst trial
Alter the trial proceedings were
reviewed, biddings was resenlenced
to death but a Supremem Court rul
mg disallows that action, therefore
biddings received hte in prison
biddings was convicted ol the kill-
ing ol Highway I’atrol Trooper
Larry Crabtree.
In another recent case.the death
penalty was sought in the murder
trial ol Charles Enoch Brown. He
was charged with shooting Trooper
Leon Bench near Sapulpa That case
is still being appealed
