Robert Craft, a 34-year-old from Oklahoma who was convicted of murder in 2018, could get another trial after misconduct by his former prosecutors.
convicted of murder
Robert Kraft, 34, of Choteau, Oklahoma, was convicted by a jury of first-degree murder in July 2022, and the jury recommended a life prison sentence. But Kraft's attorney has filed a motion for a mistrial after District Attorney Matt Ballard acknowledged two of the prosecutors on the case, Isaac Shields and George Gibbs, Jr., watched jurors deliberate.
Kraft's attorney, M.J. Denman, Jr., said it's a miscarriage of justice that the two prosecutors illegally observed jury deliberations and gave the prosecution an advantage that he was not afforded."It’s like playing cards and not realizing you have a mirror behind you where they can see your hand," Denman said in a telephone interview after Monday's hearing."I just would never expect two people whose job is supposed to be to enforce the law to break the law.
