Fate of accused in jury's hands
In Cimarron, the jury began deliberations in the Richard Salem trial for first degree murder and related charges after closing arguments. Prosecutors urged conviction citing Patty Watson's rape and Alan Watson’s death, while defense attacked key witness Barron as untrustworthy. Judge Smith told jurors they may convict on any counts but cannot mix first degree murder with felony murder in the same verdict, and reminded them of the presumption of innocence.

Defense rests case as Salem faces murder charges without witnesses
In Cimarron, defense lawyers rested without calling witnesses after Rudolph Barron Jr. testified for the state. Barron, charged with multiple offenses, described the Aug. 6 events, including Tyson Watson's murder and Patty Watson's assault, and said Salem admitted shooting Alan Watson. Barron said he and Salem fled to a rural area, with Salem briefly in control of the crime scene, and that Barron later aided in planning an alibi before police were contacted. Closing arguments set for Thursday as jurors prepare to deliberate.
