Well, Oklahoma does have the death penalty, MS.
And, if Nolen is prosecuted in federal court, he'd also be eligible for it there since he committed the murder in the commission of another felony (the assault and battery) -- assuming he's not found mentally incompetent.
Will be interesting to see which court ends up trying him, what charges might be added, and how the family of Colleen Hufford feel about pursuing the death penalty.
