OKLAHOMA CITY – An Oklahoma man’s murder convictions and death sentence have been overturned following a U.S.
Supreme Court ruling that much of eastern Oklahoma remains an American Indian reservation. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals on Thursday reversed the decisions against Shaun Bosse, 38, because the crimes occurred on land within the Chickasaw Nation's historic reservation and the victims were Native American.
Bosse was convicted and sentenced to death in the 2010 killings of Katrina Griffin and her two young children. The victims were found inside a burning mobile home near Dibble, about 35 miles (56 kilometers) south of Oklahoma City.
