WOAH! Yet ANOTHER woman who murdered a man she was trying to steal property from. She is covered in blood in her mugshot! She had walked into the police department and told them she tried to cut her fiance's head off.
A McAlester, OK woman, Crystal Marie Haworth, 33 awaits sentencing after pleading guilty to stabbing 57-year-old Leonard Brokeshoulder to death in 2020.
She pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Indian Country as part of a plea deal in early March 2023 with federal prosecutors.
Haworth was originally indicted in the Eastern District of Oklahoma in May 2021. As part of the plea deal, prosecutors dismissed an indictment of murder in Indian Country and charged Haworth by information with the second-degree murder charge.
The woman was charged in federal court due to Brokeshoulder’s status as a Native American and the 2020 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in McGirt v. Oklahoma and subsequent rulings made by the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals applying the ruling to the Choctaw Nation.
Prosecutors and the defense agreed “that a term of imprisonment at the low end of the sentencing guidelines is the appropriate disposition of this case.” The maximum possible penalty for second-degree murder is imprisonment “of any term of years up to life” and/or a fine up to $250,000.
Prosecutors do not object to a request made by Haworth to be housed at the Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas.“The defendant understands the Bureau of Prisons is not bound by recommendations from the court,” the plea deal states.
Brokeshoulder was found dead at a McAlester home in July 2020 after Haworth appeared at the Sheriff’s Office covered in blood and told jail staff that there was an injured man at a residence on the 600 block of West Polk Avenue.
An affidavit filed in the case states Brokeshoulder suffered numerous stab wounds to the torso and face along with a cut to his neck which nearly decapitated him along with numerous stab wounds to the upper part of his body.
It also states during an interview with investigators, Haworth admitted to killing Brokeshoulder and stated “numerous times” she tried to cut off the man’s head.
The woman said she was living with Brokeshoulder “for the past few months” and was engaged to him, with her plan to marry him and “kill him and take all of his property,” claiming the man “was so abusive and stuff,” the affidavit states.
Attorneys for Haworth previously filed a notice of insanity defense in the case with Haworth ordered to undergo a mental health examination.
Records show the exam was completed in September 2022 with the findings sealed by a federal judge. I'd say she's pretty damn nuts. No normal sane person does this.
