Verna Stafford’s Parole Hearing | Oklahoma City News

Verna Stafford, convicted in 1978 for the brutal Sirloin Stockade murders, faces her first parole hearing — a critical but distant step toward freedom. With two life sentences, she’d need to be paroled twice to ever walk free. Victims’ families, still raw from losing six young lives, spoke powerfully to the Oklahoma board, while Stafford, who testified against her husband (executed in 1995) to avoid death, now stands before them again. Prosecutors urge denial, citing enduring pain and trauma. The board’s decision looms Tuesday at 10:30 AM — a moment heavy with history, grief, and the weight of justice.
