Family Of Man Killed In 2013 Relieved After Guilty Verdict
A family has been waiting eight and a half years for justice and says now they have it.
A Tulsa jury found Vicky McNeely guilty of shooting and killing her husband, Dan, at their Owasso home in 2013. The trial got delayed over and over, for years, but it went in front of a jury this week. Not only to have it be over but to get the verdict we did and the justice that we did, I just don t even have words,” said Nash.
Breathing a sigh of relief is something Megan Nash hasn t been able to do in nearly nine years.
Domestic Violence Conviction ‘Proof’ Victim Cooperation Not Necessarily Needed, Prosecutors Say
A Tulsa County jury convicts a man of repeatedly strangling and beating his wife, even though the victim was too scared to cooperate with the prosecution.
Prosecutors said it is proof they can take a case to court even without a victim.
They said there s been an increase in domestic violence as people are more isolated, so it s more important than ever for people to speak up.
Terry Schroeder s list of crimes dates back two decades ago.
They include DUI, drugs, pointing a weapon, having a gun as a felon and most recently, assault and battery. For that conviction in 2010, he got a two-year suspended sentence. In 2014, he was convicted of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and was sentenced to six years in prison but served half of that.
