LEFLORE COUNTY - The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has upheld the murder conviction and life without parole sentence of a Cedarville man in the death of a Fort Smith woman in eastern Oklahoma.
The court rejected appeals by 30-year-old Elvis Thacker in the September 2010 death of 22-year-old Briana Ault.
Thacker claimed his confession was coerced and there was insufficient evidence to convict him. Thacker was convicted and his brother, Johnathan plead to the murder.
