" ======== http://www.nandotimes.com/nation/story/483599p-3860759c.html Oklahoma executes former police officer By NICK TROUGAKOS, Associated Press McALESTER, Okla. (July 31, 2002 12:25 a.m. EDT) - A former assistant police chief was executed by injection Tuesday evening for beating to death an old war buddy in 1989. Before he was put to death, 51-year-old Earl Frederick Sr. expressed "deepest sorrow" to the victim's family. "I'm sorry it's taken this long to have justice served for y'all, but it's being served now," he said. Frederick was convicted in 1992 of killing Bradford Beck. Police said that after the Nov. 11, 1989, slaying, Frederick stole the man's clothes and pickup, and drove to Texas. Beck's body had started to decompose when it was found in a field in Midwest City on Jan. 15, 1990. The medical examiner listed the cause of death as undetermined head trauma. Prosecutors said the 41-year-old Beck, a partially paralyzed Vietnam War veteran, had let Frederick stay with him and told his family that Frederick was an old war buddy. Beck said the two had stayed together at a veterans hospital. At the time of his arrest, authorities said the former Noble assistant police chief told investigators that one of his personalities made him do bad things. Prosecutors argued Frederick was faking multiple personality disorder. A judge eventually ruled that Frederick was competent to stand trial. ===== http://venus.soci.niu.edu/~archives/ABOLISH/mar98/0116.html Death penalty News: USA --S.C., N.C., Del.,OK., OH, TX Joan Brett ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Sat, 7 Mar 1998 13:17:58 -0600 "Frederick, who was the assistant police chief in Noble in the early 1970s, told Texas authorities he had multiple personalities. Frederick also gave police 4 names after his arrest and told them one of his personalities, known as Jeff, made him do bad things. Oklahoma County prosecutors contend Frederick faked the multiple personality disorder. Frederick also claims to have amnesia and cannot remember the killings." ===== OKLAHOMA: A former Noble police officer was returned to death row Friday after a 2nd Oklahoma County jury decided he should die for the 1989 slaying of a Spencer man. Earl Alexander Frederick Sr., 46, was found guilty Wednesday of 1st-degree murder in the beating death of Bradford Beck, 41, whose body was found in January 1990 in a field near Spencer. He was killed Nov. 11, 1989, by a blow to the head. Jurors deliberated about 3 1/2 hours Friday. Beck, a Vietnam War veteran who was partially paralyzed, had befriended Frederick 5 days before the slaying, prosecutors said. Beck let Frederick live in his house, prosecutors said. Beck had ''extended his friendship to Frederick'' and repaid him by killing him and stealing his pickup and clothes, said Sandra Howell Elliott, assistant district attorney in Oklahoma County. Frederick told neighbors he and Beck were war buddies, but there is no evidence Frederick served in Vietnam, she said. Frederick was wearing Beck's clothes when he was arrested Nov. 19 in an Amarillo, Texas, bar. He was originally arrested in the shotgun death of an elderly man in Texline, a small town in the northwest corner of the Texas Panhandle. That victim, Shirley Fox, 77, was beaten and then had a shotgun put in his mouth, prosecutors said. Fox was robbed of some guns and coins he had framed. Texas authorities have not prosecuted Frederick for that crime since the Oklahoma County district attorney's office was seeking the death penalty. Frederick, who was the assistant police chief in Noble in the early 1970s, told Texas authorities he had multiple personalities. Frederick also gave police 4 names after his arrest and told them one of his personalities, known as Jeff, made him do bad things. Oklahoma County prosecutors contend Frederick faked the multiple personality disorder. Frederick also claims to have amnesia and cannot remember the killings. Frederick was found guilty in 1992 and given a death sentence, but the state Court of Criminal Appeals later ordered a new trial. (source: The Oklahoman) ++++++ M. F.
