Citing a poor prison record, prosecutors Tuesday put off the release of an Oklahoma man who has spent 18 years in prison for a murder conviction that has been thrown into question by DNA tests. But prosecutors withdrew their agreement to release Albert Brown, 39, after learning of 44 prison infractions, including allegations he conspired with others in the stabbing of another inmate. A hearing was set for Oct. 30. 'It's to make sure we have a program ready for him,' prosecutor Dianne Barker Harrold said. 'He's got some anger issues and authoritative issues.' Prosecutors agreed to the release earlier this month after DNA testing showed that hair evidence used to convict him in 1983 wasn't a match. He remains a suspect in the 1981 slaying of retired Tulsa firefighter Earl Taylor. But prosecutors have requested six months to decide if enough evidence exists to retry him. |
