Bitches be crazy...

Affidavits filed Monday (10/17) show that Rebecca L. Bryan had an extra-marital affair with a man identified as “John” from July 2009 – January 2010 when he broke up with her. She continued pursuing “John,” and called him three hours before shooting her husband on September 20. When she called him that night, “John” hung up on her. She then sent a text message (no reply), and called again, leaving a voicemail message which stated that she still loved him (“John”), that she was about to receive an “inheritance,” and was going to buy a house near him.

Good lord. Hiding the gun in the dryer is sounding less like an act of panic and more like typical behavior. How sad for the family.

TeeVee reported somewhere in that sequence a year ago or so she filed for divorce but did not follow up on it.

Apparently, the boyfriend broke up with her about that time and she's been keeping after him for the past year and a half trying to get back together. At least according to news reports. Really a tragedy. She seems to have a nice family who love her.

This sounds like an extended insanity. A death sentence is not possible, but we all know our corrupted DA. I'd say life in prison.

I know it's probably pointless to respond to a silly post like this, but if you're trying make some connection to the Oklahoma County DA, he will have no say in this matter. It's in Canadian County.

I was not aware that Nichols Hill was moved to Canadian County. :-O

Were you also not aware that the murder took place in Mustang? (Check the title of the thread ) The last time I checked, that was still in Canadian County.

I thought it was in Nichols Hill. :-(

No lad. The deceased was employed in the NH fire department. His home, where the crime occurred, was in Mustang. Lots of peeps work in a city different than the one they live in.

Hills. Nichols HILLS.

Not to be confused with "Blueberry Hill" . . .
Whereupon once someone (who shall remain nameless)
Found their (that is, his or her) thrill.

Ironically, like, exactly where an Indian Casino now sits.
On top of a former burial ground!
In Canada.

Becky Bryan's preliminary hearing is underway today. The DOK is reporting on testimony by Bryan's former lover, Mark Hugo, who she had been stalking (just calling it what it is) since he broke up with her. From newsok.com:

Mark Holbrook, of Hugo, said the two became friends and started having sex in December 2009. After spending a weekend together, Holbrook said he decided Bryan was manipulative and wanted to end the relationship. “I began to realize she wasn't the person I thought she was,” Holbrook said.

The next day, he had a three-way phone conversation with Rebecca and Keith Bryan, confessing about the affair, he testified. He said Keith Bryan was understanding and didn't get angry. Holbrook said he vowed to stay away from Rebecca Bryan.

Soon after the split, Holbrook said he received phone calls and texts from Rebecca Bryan, who also contacted his parents, wife and son. Bryan called and left him a message in February 2010 saying she was pregnant, but he never returned the call, Holbrook testified.

Not much surprise in the outcome of this trial.

This woman's behavior was so bizarre, I wouldn't be shocked if they discover she has a brain tumor.

"The jury recommended a sentence of life without parole."

Did the judge agree and this is a done deal, or will she be sentenced later?

Formal sentencing typically occurs at a later date, generally a few weeks after the trial concludes. Not sure if that is what transpired here or not.

Life in prison without parole. The murderer plans to appeal.

What she did was cold blooded. Back in high school, husband was set up for a double date with her by mutual friends. The date fell through. The man escaped with his life.

Wonder if she'll spend her days with Brenda Andrew.

Doubtful. One is on a death sentence and the other is on a life w/o possibility of parole sentence.

If that was the case, I think her lawyer would have already prominently mentioned that at the trial.

[MustangGT]

She was righteously convicted and was undoubtedly guilty as sin. She got what she deserved. Even her kids believe she did it.

[kevinpate]

It is not uncommon for what someone says transpired to be thoroughly contradicted by the physical evidence. Total silence, and not having the firearm found with the laundry machine, would have likely served her far better with mounting a defense. No mystery man, no pre-death convos on coming into money. DOC is full of folks who apparently all read the same flawed playbook.
