Selsor v. Workman, No. 09-5180 (10th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this Case
Petitioner Michael Selsor, an Oklahoma State prisoner, was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death for the shooting of two clerks and the robbery of a convenience store in Tulsa in 1975. From 1975 to the present-day, Petitioner has sought judicial review of his convictions and sentence. His case has been circulated between the trial and appellate court for various constitutional challenges and alleged trial errors. Petitioner filed a direct appeal to the Supreme Court to challenge the last act in his case: the district court’s denial of his habeas petition. The Tenth Circuit engaged in an exhaustive review of Appellant’s case history dating back to the original trial in 1975, and found no errors that warranted the habeas writ or any other post-conviction relief Appellant sought. The Court affirmed the lower courts’ decisions.
