Trial Set to Begin for Man Accused of Beheading Coworker in Moore
KFOR ^ | SEPTEMBER 11, 2017

Posted on 09/11/2017 12:10:20 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The trial for a man accused of beheading a former coworker is set to begin on Monday.

On Sept. 25, 2014, authorities say Alton Nolen stabbed 54-year-old Colleen Hufford multiple times and beheaded her inside the Vaughan Foods distribution center.

After attacking Hufford, Nolen is accused of stabbing 43-year-old Traci Johnson numerous times before being shot by Mark Vaughan, the former CEO of the company and a reserve sheriff’s deputy.

Hufford died from her injuries, but Johnson survived.

Courtesy: Hufford Family Nolen was eventually charged with murder and several other felony counts in the case.

Nolen’s attorneys claimed that he was not competent to stand trial, adding that he wanted to be put to death and was not helping them create a defense.

However, a judge ruled that Nolen was competent enough to stand trial for the charges.

“The evidence indicated that he was able to graduate from high school, play interscholastic sports, gain admission to and attend college, socialize and communicate effectively, work, make efforts to seek higher employment, undertake religious studies, plan and execute goals and live independently. Therefore, it is the finding of this Court that Defendant does not meet the statutory definition of mental retardation,” the judge wrote.

Alton Nolen mugshot Last year, Nolen attempted to plead guilty but Judge Lori Walkley refused to accept the plea until he underwent a competency hearing.

During that competency hearing in April, Nolen had to be removed from the courtroom when he jumped from his seat and began resisting deputies.

After he was found competent, Nolen refused to reaffirm his guilty plea, which sent the case to trial.

“He wouldn’t even acknowledge any questions being posed to him at that time, so we couldn’t go forward with the guilty plea this morning,” said Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn.

The trial is set to begin on Monday morning, and officials say Nolen will be able to plead guilty any time during the trial.

Conspicuously absent from this article is the fact that Alton Nolen had recently converted to Islam.

As a sign of competency, Judge says the murderer was able to “...undertake religious studies”. Sudden jihad syndrome?

I still think about this case frequently.

A middle aged lady at work at an ordinary job in the middle of the country has her head chopped off by a piece of shit Moslem. In 2014. Whenever I bring it up, most people never heard of it.

Note the beard style. Note the mark on the forehead, which to me looks like a "rug bump" which many Muslims get from repeatedly hitting their heads to the rug during prayer.

“Is he Moslem?”

CONVERTED if my memory serves me right. Guess he can’t wait to get his 72 virgins. I say we should grant him his wishes.

Bears repeating.

Conspicuously absent from this article is the fact that Alton Nolen had recently converted to Islam.

“Jah’Keem Yisrael” was simply following the dictates of his adopted religion to which he actively attempted to convert his co-workers.

Yes. If I recall correctly he murdered her over a conversation over religion.

Mix the injection with pig fat and blood. Bury him in a fresh pig skin.

Barring supernatural intervention, I don’t think anyone yet has survived that particular sort of injury....

“he murdered her over a conversation over religion”

A Dindu muzzie?
That’s like crossing a mud shark with a fight dog: a pit bull shark.
Put him to sleep.

The “rug bump” or zebibah is a virtue signal among muzzies. Conspicuous head bangers are thought more devout & pious than those without.

Over time the practice scrambles what s*** for brains there is inside the typical muzzie skull.
