A Tulsa axe murderer is going to prison for life with no chance for parole.
Israel Trejo pleaded guilty Thursday in an attack that was utterly shocking because the victim was doing nothing but sitting on a couch when Trejo swung the axe with all his force, into the victim’s skull and it was all caught on video.
The case left those in the legal system speechless.
The judge, prosecutor and lead homicide detective are all veterans who have worked thousands of cases and all of them struggled to put this one into words because they say it was so senseless, barbaric and cruel.
Prosecutors say Israel Trejo went to a Tulsa apartment to buy an axe from a man last October, and then for no reason, hit 22-year-old James “Jimmy” Patterson in the head, who happened to be sitting there, eating.
The video shows Jimmy never even saw it coming. Investigators say Jimmy and Trejo didn't know each other and never even spoke before the attack.
