Lockett’s Criminal
History:
In 1999, Lockett
kidnapped, beat, and shot 19-year-old Stephanie Neiman and ordered an
accomplice to bury her while she was still breathing. She died from two wounds
from a shotgun fired by Lockett. In 2000, he was convicted of murder, rape,
forcible sodomy, kidnapping, assault and battery and sentenced to death.
Previously Lockett was sentenced to four years in prison for a conviction in
1996 in Grady County for conspiracy to commit a felony.
At his 1999 murder
trial both DNA from the dead victim, fingerprints from the duct tape used to
bind the victim, and eye witness testimony led to his murder conviction.
Stephanie Neiman, a
high school graduate and friend of Lockett's other victims, was a witness to
his crimes. The men beat her and used duct tape to bind her hands and cover her
mouth. Even after being kidnapped and driven to a dusty country road, Neiman
didn't back down when Lockett asked if she planned to contact police. After she
stated she would go to the police, Lockett decided to bury her alive.
