          In November 3, 2021, Rebecca Hogue was convicted of first degree murder for the death of her toddler son, Ryder, even though he was killed by Christopher Trent while she was at work. Now she is facing life in prison after two years of living a nightmare since her son’s death on January 1, 2020.

         Following the actual murderer’s death by suicide, District Attorney Greg Mashburn and Assistant District Attorney Pattye High turned their attention to Rebecca— a single hardworking mother. They charged Rebecca with first degree murder under Oklahoma’s Failure to Protect law for allowing child abuse even though Rebecca did not abuse her child or know he was in harm’s way. The lead police investigator in the case called the charges against Rebecca “bullshit” and did not recommend her being charged.

Norman, Okla. mom found guilty of murder despite questions in case


A Norman, Oklahoma, mother has been found guilty of murder and recommended to receive life in prison, following explosive testimony from both the prosecution and the defense during her trial. Rebecca Hogue’s son Jeremiah “Ryder” Johnson, aged two, was killed on January 1, 2020. 

Ms. Hogue’s boyfriend, Christopher Trent, is accused of abusing the boy so severely he died from his injuries. Mr. Trent then died by suicide several days after Ryder’s death.

Prosecutors successfully argued that Ms. Hogue either knew about the severe abuse at the hands of her boyfriend, or should have known based on Ryder’s injuries. The most severe of the abuse occurred just before his death.

Failure to protect: How an Oklahoma child abuse law treats women differently than men

      Oklahoma has some of the worst statistics for abuse of women and children. Failure to Protect and Rebecca’s conviction will result in fewer victims receiving help now that the court has ruled seeking medical attention or sending photos of bruises to the perpetrator asking how they happened can be used against a person in court. The law has repeatedly and disproportionately been used against mothers for their abusers' crimes.
