MANGUM, Okla. (AP) — A Greer County judge will decide whether to throw out a criminal case against the wife of a former prison warden accused of helping a convicted killer escape more than 15 years ago.
A pretrial motion hearing is set for 2 p.m. Wednesday in Greer County for Bobbi Parker.
The 47-year-old woman is charged with helping convicted killer Randolph Dial escape from the Oklahoma State Reformatory in Granite in 1994. The two remained together for more than a decade before they were discovered living in a chicken ranch in east Texas in 2005.
Parker's attorney claims the 3-year statute of limitations on the crime has expired and that prosecutors waited too long to charge her.
Prosecutors contend the statute of limitations didn't apply while Parker had left the state and was living on the run with Dial.
