CLEVELAND COUNTY, Okla. — Billy Dean was convicted in September 2012 for killing Norman resident Owen Pollard.
Pollard was found stabbed to death in his Norman home in November of 2011. Battenfield was also convicted of three murders in Texas and New Mexico in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s but served his time and was let out.
This latest conviction will have him staying behind bars, but the problem is there is no room at the state prison in Lexington right now.
Billy Dean Battenfield pled guilty to that gruesome murder of a Norman man last September, and was sentenced to life in prison without parole. But nearly five months later, Battenfield is still behind bars at the Cleveland County Detention Center.
