Accused Beheader Pleads Guilty to Murder
Courthouse News Service ^ | May 20, 2016 | David Lee

OKLAHOMA CITY (CN) - A Muslim convert accused of beheading a co-worker and nearly beheading a second at an Oklahoma food processing plant pleaded guilty Friday.
     Alton Alexander Nolen, 31, of Norman, Okla., pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree murder and two counts of assault and battery with a deadly weapon, the Oklahoman reported.
     Nolen is accused of beheading 54-year-old Colleen Hufford on Sept. 25, 2014, at a Vaughn Foods processing plant.
     Prosecutors say Nolen also tried to behead a second victim, Traci Johnson, 44, cutting her throat and face, and then tried to stab a company executive, who shot him.
     Nolen's attack was sparked by a complaint Johnson made about Nolen "not liking white people," prosecutors allege.
     Psychologist Jeanne Russell testified at Nolen's competency trial in October, saying he wanted to plead guilty and be executed because of his religious beliefs.
     On Friday, Cleveland County District Judge Lori Walkley declined to rule on accepting Nolen's plea until Aug. 12 because a separate defense expert claims Nolen is mentally ill.
     Walkley questioned Nolen for 90 minutes about the crime and if he understood he was waiving his right to a jury trial by pleading guilty.
     He responded with rambling answers referencing his Muslim faith and that events in his life were pre-determined. He stopped at one point and started praying, the Oklahoman reported.
     Russell testified at the competency hearing that he had a "major deficit" in his "intellectual functioning" that she noticed in seven hours of interviews and tests conducted last year.
     Nolen scored 62 and 69 on IQ tests and is considered mentally retarded, Russell said.

That is interesting. I’m surprised the US is as high as it it—98.

I don’t believe his IQ is that low. He’s got to be faking.

Pretty sure the U.S. WAS higher a few decades ago.

But I don’t want to point out why.

That would be raciss.

During the time of Gov. Bill Clinton, Fahmi Malak would have ruled it a suicide.

Thanks for that link. Bill Whittle is one of my heroes. He explains, so even someone with an IQ of 60 can understand, what’s happening.

When I was a kid, I was a guinea pig subject for those learning to give IQ tests. There are so many ways to game them. Those administering them can do one thing wrong and it will result in many points off. Even giving a right handed test to a left handed person can throw it off. They’re also designed for a specific group of people and aren’t (or weren’t in my time) “diverse” enough for every walk of life or background. If a test that’s designed for upper middle class white suburban people is given to someone six months out of Ethiopia, well, duuuh, they’re going to test very low. An IQ test is nothing but a very poor tool and not one that should be used in a courtroom, imo.

“Russell testified at the competency hearing that he had a “major deficit” in his “intellectual functioning”...”

I noticed that as soon as I read the words “Muslim convert”.

BS, this was motivated solely by islam. He wants a martyrs death thinking of his virgins. I say deny him. Lock him up forever in Macalester. The brutality of the OK prison system for life should offer some solace.

Muslims want to die; make'em live..
