Accused Beheader Pleads Guilty to Murder
Courthouse News Service ^ | May 20, 2016 | David Lee

OKLAHOMA CITY (CN) - A Muslim convert accused of beheading a co-worker and nearly beheading a second at an Oklahoma food processing plant pleaded guilty Friday.
     Alton Alexander Nolen, 31, of Norman, Okla., pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree murder and two counts of assault and battery with a deadly weapon, the Oklahoman reported.
     Nolen is accused of beheading 54-year-old Colleen Hufford on Sept. 25, 2014, at a Vaughn Foods processing plant.
     Prosecutors say Nolen also tried to behead a second victim, Traci Johnson, 44, cutting her throat and face, and then tried to stab a company executive, who shot him.
     Nolen's attack was sparked by a complaint Johnson made about Nolen "not liking white people," prosecutors allege.
     Psychologist Jeanne Russell testified at Nolen's competency trial in October, saying he wanted to plead guilty and be executed because of his religious beliefs.
     On Friday, Cleveland County District Judge Lori Walkley declined to rule on accepting Nolen's plea until Aug. 12 because a separate defense expert claims Nolen is mentally ill.
     Walkley questioned Nolen for 90 minutes about the crime and if he understood he was waiving his right to a jury trial by pleading guilty.
     He responded with rambling answers referencing his Muslim faith and that events in his life were pre-determined. He stopped at one point and started praying, the Oklahoman reported.
     Russell testified at the competency hearing that he had a "major deficit" in his "intellectual functioning" that she noticed in seven hours of interviews and tests conducted last year.
     Nolen scored 62 and 69 on IQ tests and is considered mentally retarded, Russell said.

Nolen scored 62 and 69 on IQ tests

That is exceptionally high for a moslem. They would/do consider that genius level.

Too bad the gunshot didn’t finish the job right then and there.

Anyone can fake a low IQ score.

Give him his death wish quickly.

As long as he doesn't sit on death row for years, costing taxpayers a bundle.

In a sane country he'd have been executed in short order. ...for the cost of a bullet.

Why doesn't this story say his real name? Jah'keem Yisrael instead of his kafir name? This shows lack of respect from the islamophillic media.

I don’t think he is faking.

But I agree. Kill him now in the good old eye for an eye tradition.

Not buying that.

If he was intelligent enough to understand that the beheading was a part of his Islamic teaching, he certainly is not mentally retarded. And what Islamic phrase common in such intentional killings did he yell while in the process of beheading and attacking the women?

Test scores can be faked. Counselor: "Act dumb."

Those muslimes incredibly stupid. It is an act of liberal kindness to remove them from the gene pool, with extreme prejudice.

Bill Whittle explains why the press won't call Alton Nolen, Jah'keem Yisrael.

Would I be awful for suggesting that it happen in some barbaric method instead of a simple bullet? Though I hear death by starvation and dehydration is quite pleasant, so maybe that method would be approved.

Pleasant? Why it’s positively euphoric when done under color of authority!

Guess he can’t vote for Hillary or Bernie now that he’s a confessed/convicted felon. However, with psycho Democrat governors and an out of control DOJ, he just right slip under the voting deadline wire or vote by absentee ballot.

Ain’t Comrade Obama’s “America” great?
