Okla. Mom Won’t Face Charges, but Victim’s Accomplice Will
The young Oklahoma mother who shot and killed an intruder to protect her 3-month-old son on New Year’s Eve will not face criminal charges.Prosecutors have instead charged the intruder’s alleged accomplice, 29-year-old Dustin Stewart, with first-degree murder in the death of his friend, Justin Shane Martin, 24.Police said the two men broke into 18-year-old Sarah McKinley’s mobile home in Blanchard, Okla., the evening of Dec. 31, while the young widow was home with her baby. McKinley’s husband had died the week before, on Christmas Day, of lung cancer.McKinley told police that Martin had stopped by the house on the day of her husband’s funeral claiming he was a neighbor who wanted to say hello.On New Year’s Eve, Stewart joined Martin, who this time was armed with a 12-inch hunting knife.

Is it OK to shoot him if he comes in this door?” the young mother asked the 911 dispatcher. “I’m here by myself with my infant baby. Can I please get a dispatcher out here immediately?”The 911 dispatcher confirmed with McKinley that the doors to her home were locked as McKinley asked again if it was OK to shoot the intruder if he came through her door.”I can’t tell you that you can do tha,t but you do what you have to do to protect your baby,” the dispatcher told her. McKinley was on the phone with 911 for 21 minutes.When Martin kicked in the door, the young mother shot and killed him. According to court documents, Martin was holding a knife when he died.Authorities called McKinley’s actions justified because she clearly acted in self-defense. Oklahoma law permits the use of deadly force against intruders.Stewart, who ran away from McKinley’s home after hearing the gunshots but later turned himself in to police, was charged in Martin’s death.”When the death of someone occurs in commission of a felony, we’re allowed to file a murder charge, and that’s what we’ve done in this particular case, because Mr. Stewart, in this case, will be responsible for the death of Justin Martin,” said …
