Heading: Selsor's direct appeal from the new trial

Text: Selsor appealed his convictions and sentence to the OCCA. On May 10, 2000, the OCCA issued a published opinion affirming Selsor's first degree murder conviction and death sentence, as well as Selsor's shooting with intent to kill conviction and related sentence of life imprisonment, but reversing the conviction and sentence for robbery with firearms and remanding to the state trial court with instructions to dismiss that charge. Selsor II, 2 P.3d at 346. More specifically, the OCCA concluded that the robbery with firearms conviction must be dismissed based upon double jeopardy because all the elements of Robbery with Firearms are included within the elements of the First Degree Murder pursuant to the 1973 statute. Id. at 351. Selsor filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court. That petition was denied on May 21, 2001. Selsor v. Oklahoma, 532 U.S. 1039, 121 S.Ct. 2002, 149 L.Ed.2d 1004 (2001).
