denounces jury
for death penall
United Press International
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — A
man convicted in the death of
West Fork City Marshal Paul
Mueller denounced his jurors as
“alleged Christians” but begged
for the death penalty rather than
life in prison without parole.
Billy Gale Henry, 54, fired his
lawyer just before the sentencing
phase of his trial Friday and made
his own statement to the jury.
“Be nice to me. Give me the
death penalty,” he said.
The jury granted Henry’s wish
after five minutes of deliberation
and added a 40-year sentence on a
charge of hindering the apprehen
sion of Bodney Lovell Britton, the
man police believe actually pulled
the trigger.
Henry, tried as an accomplice,
did not deny he was with Britton
when Mueller was killed but said
he had nothing to do with the kill
ing and should not be convicted.
Still, he said, he would prefer the
death penalty to life in prison
without parole, the only possible
sentences for a capital murder
conviction.
While the jury was out, Henry
said he would try to waive the
automatic appeal that is granted in
death penalty cases.
Mueller was shot to death
March 20 when he stopped a car
on U.S. 71, but managed to fire
three times into the car before he
died. Henry was found nearby
with a gunshot wound and told
police Britton had shot him and
shoved him out of the car.
Britton, 27, of Cyril, Okla., was
killed in a shootout with police
four days later.
At his trial, Henry, who had
known Britton when the two were
in prison in Leavenworth, Kan.,
called Britton a “disciple of the
devil. ”
“You’re biased, you’re pre
judiced, you’re a mockery of jus
tice,” Henry railed at the jurors.
“What you have done here is
simply ridiculous. It saddens my
heart.”
Henry called the jurors “alleged
Christians” and “status <

come rotten.” Hesaidft|
