Conviction Vacated for Man Who Spent 16 Years in Prison

A man who has spent 16 years in prison for robbery had his conviction vacated.
Tulsa District Judge William Kellough vacated Sedrick Courtney's conviction on Thursday, ruling that a jury would not find Courtney guilty beyond a reasonable doubt if presented with the DNA analysis now available.
Courtney was paroled last year for a robbery and burglary of a Tulsa woman's apartment. Authorities say that two masked men committed the crime but DNA tests revealed the hairs in a ski mask excluded Courtney as a possible donor.
The judge did not declare Courtney innocent of the crime and attorney's say actual innocence would be necessary for him to recover damages for a wrongful conviction.Conviction Vacated for Man Who Spent 16 Years in Prison

More severe storms in the offing for Oklahoma
May 19, 2013 18:44 GMT

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The Storm Prediction Center in Norman says there is a risk of strong tornadoes in a storm system developing in central Oklahoma.

Forecasters say storms are expected to form Sunday afternoon evening and that the advised area includes portions of Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.

The center says moist and unstable conditions are meeting upper-level winds that have the potential to spin off tornadoes. Forecasters say large hail and damaging winds in some areas are also possible.

Officials say residents should monitor reports for possible watches, warnings or weather statements later in the day.

State and local emergency managers are monitoring conditions.
