Summary of Offense:
Convicted and sentenced to death for the August 26, 1988 murder-for-hire of James Plantz.

27-year-old Marilyn Plantz hired her teenage boyfriend, Clifford Bryson, and his friend Clinton Eugene McKimble to kill her 33-year-old husband for about $300,000 in life insurance. Entering his home after work at the Daily Oklahoman, he was ambushed by Bryson and McKimble and beaten with baseball bats while Plantz and kids were asleep in bed.
