finding that any error arising from failure to redact from videotape of detective's interrogation of child-victim's mother the detective's comment that victim had broken leg was cured when prosecutor elicited testimony from detective on direct examination that he mistakenly thought doctors said victim had broken leg
How later courts described this case
- finding that any error arising from failure to redact from videotape of detective's interrogation of child-victim's mother the detective's comment that victim had broken leg was cured when prosecutor elicited testimony from detective on direct examination that he mistakenly thought doctors said victim had broken leg
- finding that where record does not set out Oklahoma's lethal injection protocol, an appellant's claim of Eighth Amendment violation based on reference to pancuronium bromide and "two other" drugs and supported by newspaper articles is speculative "at best"
- holding admissible a girlfriend's testimony that during the two weeks before the victim's murder the defendant had requested and been denied anal sex where defendant had been charged with anal rape and murder of a young girl
- holding that failure to object to jury instruction waives all but plain error review

The opinion
LEWIS, Judge,
concurs in results.
¶ 1 I am of the opinion that there were several errors in the handling of this trial. However, in view of the overwhelming evidence of guilt, I concur in the result.
