An Oklahoma City protestor charged with terrorism after May s civil unrest in downtown spoke out on Friday for the first time.
At the Oklahoma County courthouse, 27-year-old Eric Ruffin admitted the protests last summer got out of hand, but said he never started a fire and is not a terrorist.
“There was one point where I went to Walmart and people were yelling out that I’m a terrorist,” Ruffin said. “Like, you don’t even know who I am. ”
Ruffin spent nearly a year fighting that label and charge. Ruffin said he took the rap after video of protesters setting fires in downtown Oklahoma City surfaced.

OKLAHOMA CITY -
A jury finds a former Oklahoma police officer guilty of killing his 94-year-old neighbor, Evelyn Goodall in 2013.
During the course of the trial prosecutors relied heavily on DNA evidence.
After listening to a week s worth of testimony and three hours of deliberation jurors reached their verdict.
According to prosecutors, in 2013 Robert Hashagen broke into Goodall s home. Startled by her presence, investigators said Hashagen savagely attacked the elderly woman, then taped her up.
“Eventually we were able to get certain people to talk to us about a person who lived in the neighborhood, stayed up late at night, used narcotics,” said the investigator.

The trial was seven days of testimony from 30 witnesses. Prosecutors brought in DNA evidence that linked Hashagen to the crime scene. His DNA was found in two places in his elderly neighbor’s home.

OKLAHOMA CITY -
Oklahoma County prosecutors linked a murder suspect s DNA to two crime scenes. Robert Hashagan is currently on trial for first-degree murder. Prosecutors allege he killed his neighbor, 94-year-old Evelyn Goodall in 2013.
Hashagen’s attorney Clay Curtis said on Thursday his client had no involvement in the assault and killing of his neighbor.
Thursday marked the third day for jurors to listen to witness testimony. They heard from Oklahoma City police and OSBI DNA analysts.
Both agencies tested evidence taken from Goodall s home when she was burglarized and assaulted in 2010 and in 2013.
Hashagen is only charged for the 2013 assault that killed the elderly woman.
