the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals overturned 3 death sentences given condemned killers who said they were mentally retarded.
The court, after the U.S. Supreme Court decreed that states cannot execute mentally retarded killers, voted to void the sentences and give the men life without parole.
In the first case, the court reversed the Comanche County death sentence handed Maximo L. Zalazar, convicted for the 1987 stabbing death of Jennifer Prill during a burglary.
The court also overturned the death verdicts issued by juries in Sapulpa for Robert Wayne Lambert and Darrin Lynn Pickens
Pickens was convicted for the 1990 robbery and killing of clerk Tommy Lee Hayes at a convenience store.
Lambert and co-defendant Scott Hain were accused of abducting Michael Houghton and Laura Lee Sanders, placing them in the trunk of a car and setting it on fire. Hain was executed in 2003 for his part in the murders.
