OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has rejected the appeal of a woman who was convicted of killing her husband by pushing him through a 25th-floor window in a Tulsa high-rise apartment.
The court on Wednesday rejected her appeals — including lack of evidence, improper evidence, prosecutorial misconduct and ineffective counsel.
Hilberling testified during her trial that she and her husband were arguing and that she feared for her safety as the dispute escalated.
Hilberling, who was seven months’ pregnant at the time, said he grabbed her shoulders and that she then “reached up and pushed against his chest.”
