Hearing For Two Inmates Claiming Wrongful 1994 Tulsa County Conviction

A hearing of new evidence Friday for two men convicted of a 1994 drive-by shooting in Tulsa was prompted in part by a death-row inmate's videotaped confession.

Attorneys for Malcom Scott, 38, and DeMarchoe Carpenter, 39, are presenting the confession of Michael Lee Wilson in a Tulsa County courtroom.
Carpenter and Scott were convicted in the shooting death of 19-year-old Karen Summers. Wilson later pleaded guilty to being an accessory in the killing.

Both men were sentenced to life in prison.

The attorneys for the Oklahoma Innocence Project hope the confession from Wilson, who was executed two years ago in a separate case, will win Scott and Carpenter their freedom, or at least a new trial.

Prosecutors claimed Wilson made the statement as a last-ditch attempt to save his friends.

The judge is not expected to issue a ruling Friday.
