RANDY BAUMAN
(Oklahoma City, Federal Public Defender), successfully represented a death row inmate before the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board on Wednesday, April 20, 2005. Randy's client, Garry Thomas Allen, was convicted in the 1986 murder of the mother of his children while she picked them up from daycare in Oklahoma City. Allen was apparently shot by the cops in the eye and may be suffering from some sort of dementia as a result. His mental condition was the focus of the clemency hearing. The Board voted 4-1 in favor of clemency which is a huge hurdle to overcome if Allen is to avoid execution on May 19, 2005. The ultimate decision is now with the Governor.
