Juror: Oklahoma jury didn't want officer in jail for life


Jurors convicted ex-Tulsa officer Shannon Kepler on Oct. 18 in his fourth jury trial for killing of 19-year-old Jeremey Lake in August 2014. Sarah Arroyo, forewoman of the fourth jury, told The Associated Press this week that it didn't take long to decide Kepler was guilty. A few jurors had a hard time with the murder charge because they believed evidence still left room for reasonable doubt, Arroyo said. Prosecutors said Kepler first watched his daughter, who was 18 at the time, and Lake from his SUV before approaching them on the street. Arroyo said those dueling accounts bolstered jurors' decision to convict Kepler on the lesser charge.
