A jury Thursday recommended the death penalty for an Oklahoma man convicted of beheading a co-worker in 2014.

Jurors convicted Alton Nolen, 33, on Sept. 29 of killing 54-year-old Colleen Hufford and trying to kill another co-worker at a food processing plant in Moore, a suburb of Oklahoma City.

Jurors agreed on Oct. 2 that Nolen should serve three life sentences plus 130 years in prison on assault and battery charges stemming from his attack on the co-worker who survived. Jurors took less than three hours Thursday to recommend the death penalty on the first-degree murder charge.

There’s a serious case to be made for making executions public again.

In death, lessons can be caught, future criminals deterred

No use of the word “Islam”.

They glanced into the word “Quran”, but I’m sure that was an editorial error.

Yeah, in like maybe twenty years. Maybe. By that time he’ll be the victim.

Wait! That’s not fair! The guy who beheaded his mama and carried around her head got zero days in prison.
