  • “Evidence showed that during the argument between two occupants that led to the murder,
  • A third inmate in a nearby cell called four separate calls to the Camera Operations Center and urgently reported noise from an attack.
  • Binkley only answered two of these calls and in both cases could not indicate security personnel or superiors to react, react and intervene.
  • As a result, twenty minutes after the last call passed before the attack asa was discovered by another officer during a routine check. “

Binkley was discontinued in September 2023 according to the press release. Your employment was terminated.

“Narrowing that endangers the security of people in our care is not tolerated,” said Paul Timmons, Chief Executive Officer of Criminal Justice Authority in Oklahoma County. “Our commitment to maintain the security and well -being of all inmates and employees requires that every employee maintain the highest standards of professionalism. If this is not the case, you will be fully held accountable.”
