Verna Stafford Denied Parole Again | Oklahoma City News

Verna Stafford, convicted in the 1978 Sirloin Stockade massacre that killed six people, has been denied parole for life — despite a 3-2 board vote in her favor. Governor Kevin Stitt’s final decision means she’ll remain locked up, already serving time for nine murders she helped commit in Oklahoma, and facing another 15 years before even being eligible for parole again due to a separate I-35 shooting conviction. She testified against her now-dead husband, Roger Dale Stafford, who was executed in 1995 — and while she expressed remorse to the board, her fate remains sealed for at least three more years.
