- The Oklahoma man admitted this week to murdering his wife, Shawntae Lynn Brown, in their Spencer home in September 2020.
- Investigators say he beat her over two days with a belt, a shoe, a flagpole and a handgun, causing extensive bruises and lacerations.
- Authorities reported he forced their three children, then ages 7, 14 and 15, to clean blood and ordered them not to speak about the attack.
- Evidence included surveillance footage and a semi-automatic handgun with a shattered front sight that was coated in blood and hair.
- One daughter, Aliesha Brown, told KWTV she opposed seeking his execution despite family divisions, and District Attorney Behenna said the outcome protects the public.
