A police spokesman said previous statements that Nex Benedict didn’t die as a result of “trauma” didn’t rule out the fight as a contributing factor.

    Unless the federal government gets involved (which hopefully, maybe?) Ryan Walters has already been under federal investigation for all the (very likely) embezzling for seemingly ages and nothing has happened there. Oklahoma is corrupt at its core and if it’s left up to Oklahomans there will be no justice.

    Idk, it’s just pretty terrifying as a transgender Oklahoman that if I’m murdered when I’m driving through a small town the cops would effortlessly be able to cover it up and come up with a story so that redditors could pick over my gender identity.

      I didn’t consider the possibility of walters being in trouble. I meant the case of the dead teenager and who killed them.

        My point with Walters is more that one can flagrantly violate the law in Oklahoma if they are the “right kind” of person. I’m not local to Owasso, but there’s a lot of folks who are pretty sure that cop kids where involved.
