Editor's Note: Friday, we told you a Tulsa County jury found Terry Hansen guilty of murdering Wesley Westcott and recommended Hansen go to prison for life. We reported that the murder was the result of a fight over drugs and want to clarify that. Police tell us Hansen had been in a drug deal that went wrong and he was angry and planning to go confront the drug dealer at a Tulsa residence. Westcott showed up and was trying to calm Hansen down. They say in Hansen's meth-induced paranoia, he thought Westcott was trying to hurt him, rather than help him, and Hansen stabbed Westcott in the neck. We apologize for not reporting the additional details.

A Tulsa County jury has convicted of a man of murder and recommended a life sentence. The judge immediately sentenced Terry Hansen to life in prison.
