She shot him in cold blood. She was pissed he wouldn't follow her instructions. She sure as shit didn't look upset or afraid.

Here is the link to Oklahoma's statute regarding first degree murder:

The jury felt the state didn't prove it's case. They could have gone with manslaughter and stood a better chance of winning.

on the pages of OK social media on this subject....
more than one person has claimed the bail bonds woman and the man she shot were at one time lovers.
Apparently there was no mention of this at trial.
