Sandra Bradley, 75, was found shot to death in her Tulsa home in the early morning hours of May 2, 2022. Her husband, 76-year-old Vietnam veteran Charles Bradley, placed a frantic call to police saying he thought he might have killed his wife; officers found Sandra with two gunshot wounds and took Charles into custody.

Prosecutors told the jury the killing was deliberate and motivated by jealousy over a trip Sandra had taken with her boss, pointing to inconsistencies in Charles Bradley’s account. The defense argued he was experiencing a PTSD-induced nightmare and was sleepwalking, believing he faced an enemy combatant; they said he had no intention of harming Sandra.

A jury convicted Charles Bradley of first-degree murder and a Tulsa County judge sentenced him to life without parole. Sandra’s family described her as vibrant and loving.
