Facts of the Crime:
He was convicted in 1986 for the 1985 shooting death of elementary schoolteacher Linda Reaves and the wounding of her boyfriend, Doug Ivens, in Oklahoma County. Stouffer had been dating Ivens' estranged wife, Velva Ivens. He went to Doug Ivens' house, asked to borrow a gun and then turned it on Doug Ivens and Reaves. Doug Ivens was shot in the head, arm and chest and survived to testify. Prosecutors say the motive was for Ivens' wife to collect on a life insurance policy. Stouffer also was given a life sentence for injuring Ivens.
Stouffer was re-sentenced to death on March 11, 2003.
