Jury sentences Texas man to death in murder of Norman woman
By Emma Keith and Reese Gorman |
The Transcript
A Cleveland County jury sentenced a man found guilty of murdering a Norman woman to the death penalty Friday evening after five hours of deliberation.
The jury on Monday found Joseph Fidel Alliniece, 32, guilty of first-degree murder in the 2018 killing of Norman resident Brittani Young, along with one count of robbery by force or fear and two counts of kidnapping.
On Friday, hours after impassioned closing statements from both the state and the defense, the jury decided the death sentence was appropriate.
Alliniece killed Young, 27, inside her Emerald Greens Apartments residence April 24, 2018, stomping on her multiple times. Young, a former girlfriend of Alliniece’s, had allowed him to stay with her while he visited Oklahoma from Texas.
Young’s mother and sister testified this week that her murder was deeply traumatic for them and has had lasting mental and emotional impact.
“She allowed him to come up here from Houston and stay with her, and he took advantage of that,” Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn said. “He started being disrespectful toward her, and when she finally was trying to push him out — not physically, but just trying to get him to get his stuff and leave — and telling him she was going to call the police, that was when he brutally murdered her right in the middle of her living room floor.”
The death penalty was only one of several options — including life with or without the possibility of parole — handed to the jury by the court.
The Cleveland County District Attorney’s Office filed for the death penalty in Alliniece’s case in August 2018. The office last sought the death penalty in a 2014 beheading case involving Alton Nolen, who was convicted of first-degree murder and five counts of assault and battery with a deadly weapon.
Friday morning, attorneys for the state pushed the jury to consider the death penalty, working to support the idea that Alliniece may have started his life as a kind and sweet son and friend but had become a man whose ongoing decisions to choose violence posed a physical threat to those close to him.
Assistant District Attorney Christy Miller detailed to the jury how Young would have been alive and struggling when Alliniece beat her and stomped her head, tearing off one of her ears and leaving blood in her airways and lungs. After killing Young, Alliniece also held hostage her friend and her friend’s toddler, leading to the additional charges.
“He didn’t care about her suffering — he didn’t care what he was doing to Brittani that day,” Miller said. “He was completely pitiless and differential that day.”
For the jury to consider the death penalty for Alliniece, the state was tasked with proving that Alliniece’s actions were heinous, cruel and atrocious, that he has a history of violence and that he poses a continuing threat.
Miller cited Alliniece’s history of violence toward women — from a 2010 incident in which Alliniece allegedly bit a woman’s forehead, a 2016 incident where he punched down and stomped on another girlfriend and an incident April 2 of this year in which he groped a woman at the county jail — as evidence that his track record of harm is ongoing.
“It’s another piece to show you that he will not stop — he will not stop, in jail or out of jail,” Miller said. “Nobody’s safe from him, no matter where he is.”
The defense, meanwhile, pleaded to jurors for mercy in its closing argument, asking them to consider other sentencing options for the sake of Alliniece and his family, who defense attorney Raven Sealy said “still believe his life has purpose.”
The defense team brought forward Alliniece’s parents and close family friends Thursday, piecing together memories of Alliniece as a thoughtful child and friend in his youth.
Sealy said Friday that jurors could only deliver the death penalty if the state had convinced them, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the aggravating circumstances in Alliniece’s case outweighed any mitigating circumstances they saw.
“This decision isn’t easy — it shouldn’t be. You are faced with a horrendous crime and faced with what to do with a man’s life,” Sealy said. “... The state says that Joe Alliniece deserves the death penalty, that he has earned the death penalty. Ladies and gentlemen, mercy is mitigation. Mercy is a reason not to give the death penalty. Mercy is not deserved, mercy is not earned.”
The defense declined to comment after the sentence was delivered Friday evening.
Mashburn argued Friday to the jury that while mercy was an option, jurors could pick another path for Alliniece.
“You can show mercy and use sympathy in that, but should you? Should you do that, for this guy?” Mashburn said to the jury.
Mashburn said after the sentence was delivered that justice was done for Young on Friday.
“Like I told the jury, he aggravated this crime to such an extent that the punishment needed to be aggravated, as well,” Mashburn said. “The death sentence should be reserved for the worst of the worst, and, clearly, Joseph Alliniece is the worst of the worst. Justice was done today, for sure.”

Family Calls For Death Penalty For Norman Murder Suspect
Tuesday, May 1st 2018, 9:30 pm

A week after a brutal murder at a Norman apartment, the suspect, 29-year-old Joseph Alliniece faces new charges.
Alliniece is accused of killing 27-year-old Brittani Rose Young by stomping on her head, and injuring other parts of her body while she lay on the floor of her apartment.
“He took my Brittani Rose. He took my girl. He stole something from everybody. He didn't have the right. He didn't have the right. He is going to have to pay. There is going to be a reckoning,” said the victim’s father Todd Roberts.
Investigators say the murder happened last Tuesday at the Emerald Green Apartments around 3 p.m., and that Young’s mother was one of the people who discovered her body.
Alliniece was formally charged Tuesday May 1, with one count of first-degree murder and two counts of kidnapping.

Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn said Alliniece pulled a woman and small child into Young's apartment with him at some point during the crime.
Later, witnesses said they saw him running from the scene.
“A friend came to check on her, with her child. And, he pulled them into the apartment, both the adult and child and held them there against their will. That's how we have two kidnapping counts,” Cleveland County District Attorney Mashburn said.
Alliniece was arrested hours later. He was found in Oklahoma City at the OG Food Mart, and court records state there was blood on his shoes and cellphone.
Brittani's father said Alliniece should be sentenced to the death penalty.
“My sole purpose is to make sure her voice is heard, and justice served complete,” said Roberts.
Court records indicate on the day of the crime, Alliniece quote "...did not remember anything that happened today...". He did recall making a phone call to a witness in the case, and "getting a ride to OKC...".
The DA's office said he's recently offered up more information, but it is still too early to know how they will pursue the case.
“There is a second interview wherein he does make some admissions in this case, so that will definitely be brought out in this case as well,” said Mashburn.
Alliniece is being held on a $5 million bond.
His next court date will be at 9:00 a.m. Tuesday, May 22.

Funeral services for Brittani Rose Roberts-Young, 27, are pending with Brown-Thomas Funeral Home. Brittani was born March 20, 1991 in Sacramento, CA. She passed away on Tuesday, April 24, 2018 in Norman, Ok.
Father: Todd Roberts
Husband: Steve Young
NORMAN, Oklahoma - Family and friends of a homicide victim in Norman spent Saturday paying tribute to her memory. Brittani Young was brutally murdered in her apartment on Tuesday.
Her loved ones are focusing on remembering happier times and seeking justice.
Brittani's beautiful face will never be seen in person again, and her family
says because of this heinous crime, her killer deserves the death penalty.
They released balloons in remembrance and prayer, as their tears flowed freely, mourning a life cut short at just 27 years old. “She was fun,” says Brittani’s father Todd Roberts. “She smiled all the time. You won’t see a picture where she wasn’t smiling.”
Brittani's loved ones are all trying to understand why her killer decided to
turn on her, stomping on her head until she was gone. Her husband Steve Young
tells me the suspect, Joe Alliniece, was a shadow from her past, who made
threats to her over text messages multiple times.
An ex-cop himself, Young wishes he could have protected his wife. He says, “Never in my worst dreams did I ever think this guy would
ever show up again, but here we are.”
Young and Roberts now say there is only one punishment that fits the crime. “I hope he gets the death penalty,” says Roberts. “I hope the DA is strong enough not to plea bargain, because
I don’t want to accept anything less than a death penalty.”
Young adds, “If it was your own daughter, if it was
your wife, what would you want? All I want is justice.”
They hope to address domestic violence on a wider scale, so Brittani's spirit
can live on, with a purpose. “We’ve got to look toward the future, not the
past,” says Young. “She’s in heaven she accepted Jesus. She’s in heaven. Let’s
stay focused on that.”
Once her autopsy is complete, Brittani's funeral will be held in Kentucky. Her
family is collecting donations for expenses. From News9.
