Tulsa County judge denies early release for April Wilkens, convicted in 1998 killing.
A Tulsa County judge denied April Wilkens' request for early release under Oklahoma's Survivors' Act.
Wilkens, convicted of killing her ex-boyfriend Terry Carlton in 1998, claims the act of self-defense was due to years of domestic abuse.
The judge dismissed her bid, finding her mental illness and drug use, argued by the district attorney, as significant factors, while her lawyers claimed these issues stemmed from the abuse.
The judge deemed a forensic psychologist's testimony more credible than an unlicensed social worker's, leading to the denial.
Wilkens' attorneys plan to appeal.
