A jury found a man guilty Thursday of assault and battery for shooting a process server at his south Tulsa home in July.
Jurors deliberated about an hour and rejected Christopher Barnett’s argument he shot the man trying to serve him with legal documents in self-defense.
During trial, prosecutors presented a Facebook post Barnett made that read, "The best process server is a dead one," and a Google search asking whether he could kill a process server for trespassing.
Barnett testified at trial and maintained he shot the process server because he feared for his life. He also said he embellished news interviews after the shooting.
The jury recommended a 32-year sentence for Barnett. His sentencing is April 9.
