Dentist found guilty of beating girlfriend's 19-month-old son to death and trying to get her killed before start of trial
A Tulsa-based dentist was found guilty of first-degree murder and soliciting murder by an Oklahoma County jury.
Back in 2016, Bert Franklin was charged for the murder of a toddler and soliciting a hit on the kid's biological mother. After sitting through two weeks of detailed witness testimony, the jury carefully reviewed the evidence presented to them for both cases against the horror dentist.
The subject of the trial is the torture and subsequent killing of Lincoln Lewis, who is the son of Roxanne Randall, Franklin's girlfriend. According to reports, the jury had to determine if the dentist knowingly and willfully hurled the innocent child to the ground or kicked him in the head. Little Lincoln sustained fatal injuries to the head after the incident.
