OKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma man who was serving a life term for the hate-crime killing of his Lebanese neighbour has died in prison just months after being sentenced, the state Department of Corrections said Thursday. Stanley Vernon Majors, 63, was found dead shortly after midnight Wednesday in his bed at Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester, department spokesman Matt Elliott said. Majors pleaded guilty and was sentenced to an additional 15 years in prison in March, when he was already serving time for killing her son. The Jabara family said in a statement Thursday that they were informed Majors had died and that they were processing their emotions. A news release from the corrections department said Bailey had been assaulted.
