United States of America v. Kevin Marvell Jackson

Muskogee, Oklahoma criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with felony murder (Count One), robbery in Indian country (Counts Two and Three) and using a firearm in connection with a crime of violence resulting in death (Count Four).



Bradley Dillon and Dakota Berryhill decided to prank Mr. Dillon's girlfriend by calling and telling her they had won $10,000 at a casino. They then drove to the girlfriend's house. Mr. Berryhill waited in the car while Mr. Dillon went inside. A masked man later identified as Mr. Jackson opened the car door, pointed a gun at Mr. Berryhill, and demanded the $10,000. Mr. Berryhill said he had no winnings, and Mr. Jackson forced him into the house. When Mr. Jackson realized the two men did not have the $10,000, he decided to take them to an ATM and started leading them at gunpoint to Mr. Berryhill's car. Mr. Berryhill jumped into the car and drove off. Mr. Jackson "just looked around and then he shot Bradley [Dillon],” who died of his wounds.



A superseding indictment charged Mr. Jackson with:

Count One: Murder of Bradley Dillon in Indian country in

perpetration of robbery under 18 U.S.C. § 1111(a).

Count Two: Robbery of Bradley Dillon in Indian country

under 18 U.S.C. § 2111.

Count Three: Robbery of Dakota Berryhill in Indian country

under 18 U.S.C. § 2111.

Count Four: Using, carrying, brandishing, and discharging a

firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence resulting in

the death of Bradley Dillon under 18 U.S.C. §§ 924(c)(1)(A), (j).



The Defendant was found guilty on all counts and he was sentenced to 180 months in prison.

Affirmed on appeal.
