Change in state lottery split again suggested

Oklahoma Lottery Commission Executive Director Rollo Redburn on Tuesday sent up a trial balloon for lawmakers.

MUSKOGEE — Three more defendants have been sentenced in the 2011 shooting death of a Fort Gibson teenager.

At a hearing Monday, 19-year-old Jordan Miller and 20-year-old Martin Miller were each sentenced to life in prison with all but 30 years of the sentence suspended. Both pleaded guilty to first-degree felony murder in July for the death of 17-year-old Ryan Satterfield.

The Muskogee Phoenix reports that 19-year-old Troy Dufur was also sentenced Monday to 20 years in prison. Dufur pleaded guilty in May to felony accessory to first-degree murder.

Authorities accused six people of entering a house and robbing Satterfield and three others. One of the men, Deandre Clark, was found guilty of shooting to Satterfield to death and sentenced to life in prison.
