[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1688850, member: 1132"] It's called the Felony Murder Rule: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felony_murder[/url] 46 states have it, including Oklahoma. Essentially, if you are involved in the commision of a felony crime and anyone involved dies (including an accomplice), you can be charged with 1st Degree Murder. Evicting a squatter requires a process be followed. A forced eviction is usually performed by a deputy sheriff. Even if the ranch hand was attempting an eviction (which doesn't appear to be the case), it wouldn't have been a lawfully executed one. The widow would've had every right that a legal resident would have. Having worked for a rural county sheriff's department previously, I can tell you that sometimes there may only be one deputy on duty at a time. Our county even had an "on call" deputy that calls were transferred to during non-peak periods. It could take as much as 30-45 minutes to respond from one side of the county to another. If the OHP trooper assigned to that county was on another priority call, it could easily take 20+ minutes. That's why you need to be self reliant if you live out in the boonies. Ick. Did she call him grandpa in bed? On the other hand, we don't know the actual circumstances. While not common, it could have been a marriage of convenience. for all we know, he married her for insurance or inheritance purposes. A point to ponder is whether this girl was viewed as an easy victim in the area. If she was abused, taken advantage of by an older man and then suddenly left stranded on her own, she might have been viewed as someone that could be taken advantage of with little to no repercussions. Perhaps someone that could even be forced into an abusive relationship. Regardless, stories like these usually have far more substance and sadness than makes the news. I feel for this girl regardless of the circumstances. Any 18 year old girl, left alone with a 3 month old infant in a trailer on a holiday, just a week after her husband died is a tragic set of circumstances. It's a damned shame that some bonehead and his buddy have compounded her misery. :( [/QUOTE]
