Oklahoma City, OK: Woman convicted, given life imprisonment term for death of ex-boyfriend during 2007 robbery

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma County jury has convicted a woman of first-degree murder for the death of her ex-boyfriend during a robbery.

The panel found Sharee Asberry guilty Thursday and recommended life in prison.

According to court records, Asberry told police she helped plan the Nov. 26, 2007, robbery of Jerrell Simmons because she needed money.

She drove two robbers to Simmons' house but told them to just tie him up. Instead, Simmons was shot and the gunmen took $16,000.

Dejuan Penn and Harrold Johnson Jr. were convicted of shooting Simmons and sentenced to life in prison.

Asberry's attorney, Larry Tedder, couldn't be reached for comment on Friday.
