Oklahoma statutes provide that:
E. Any person convicted of domestic abuse as defined in subsection C of this section that results in great bodily injury to the victim shall be guilty of a felony and punished by imprisonment in the custody of the Department of Corrections for not more than ten (10) years, or by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one (1) year. The provisions of Section 51.1 of this title shall apply to any second or subsequent conviction of a violation of this subsection.
I'm thinking this was a felony and maybe that is why Murder 1?

That makes a lot of sense, Salem. I won't be surprised if that is what the prosecution tries to argue.
For me, personally, I think it's a stretch, but I don't live in Oklahoma and I certainly don't sit on the bench.
