Death Row Inmate Seeks Reversal of Sentence
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- An Oklahoma death row inmate is asking a state appeals court to overturn his first-degree murder convictions and death sentence.
Oral arguments are scheduled Tuesday before the Court of Criminal Appeals in the case of Victor Cornell Miller. The 49-year-old Miller is one of two men convicted of killing 77-year-old retired Tulsa banker Mary Agnes Bowles and 44-year-old Owasso trucking company owner Jerald Thurman on Aug. 31, 1999.
Investigators believe Bowles was abducted from the Tulsa Promenade mall parking lot and taken to a secluded area, where her killers confronted Thurman as they robbed Bowles of her car.
The appeals court last year upheld the conviction and death sentence of Miller's co-defendant, 48-year-old John Fitzgerald Hanson.
Death sentences for Miller and Hanson have been previously overturned on appeal.

Mourners remember girl, 9, killed in Okla. tornado
May 23, 2013 15:40 GMT
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Friends and family are attending funeral services for a 9-year-old girl killed by Monday's tornado in an Oklahoma City suburb.
Thursday's funeral for Antonia Candelaria was the first since the storm that killed 24 people. Ten of the victims were children.
Relatives and friends huddling under umbrellas amid a downpour hurried into a chapel where mournful country songs played. The front of the chapel was filled with photos of a smiling Antonia.
Candelaria was one of seven children who perished when the tornado flattened an elementary school in the city of Moore.
A family photo released by her mother shows the girl beaming with a big smile and wearing a white sun hat.
Authorities say the tornado caused $2 billion in damage and destroyed or damaged up to 13,000 homes.
