Banks v. State

1 Anthony Rozelle Banks, Petitioner, is before the Court on his second application for post-conviction relief. Petitioner was tried jointly with his brother Walter Thomas "Tony" Banks for the murder of David Fremin, a clerk at a Tulsa Git-N-Go convenience store, and was sentenced to death in Tulsa County District Court, Case No. CRF-79-3393. Walter "Tony" Banks was sentenced to life imprisonment. This Court unanimously affirmed the petitioners judgement and sentence in Banks v. State, 701 P.2d 418 (Okl.Cr. 1985), and that of his brother in Banks v. State, 728 P.2d 497 (Okl.Cr. 1986). We affirmed the denial by the district court of petitioners first application for post-conviction relief in PC-86-765 (unpublished order). Petitioner is now asking this Court to review the validity of his conviction and sentence for the third time.
