Federal prosecutors rest case in murder trial of former Tulsa police officer

(AP) – Federal prosecutors have rested in the murder trial of a former Tulsa police officer charged in the fatal 2014 shooting of his daughter’s 19-year-old boyfriend. Shannon Kepler was charged with murder in the death of Jeremy Lake after his state manslaughter conviction was overturned. Kepler says Lake was armed and that he shot in self-defense. No weapon was found at the scene. Defense attorney Stan Monroe argues that someone removed the weapon from the scene and that the gun may be the one found in a police interview room days after the shooting.
