More on the Shanor Trial

From the Dec 19th issue of the Daily Oklahoman.

Men's hearing postponed
STILLWATER -- A hearing for a man charged with murder and his accused accomplice was postponed again Friday.

Karras Harrison is charged with first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of University of Oklahoma senior Paul Shanor at a January fraternity party in Stillwater. Louis Jones is accused of acting as an accessory after-the-fact by supplying Harrison with a handgun.

Defense attorneys for Harrison are asking for an evaluation of whether he is fit to stand trial.
