Judge Demands List Of Firearms In Ersland Case; Box Says They Are Now His And Refuses

Oklahoma County District Judge Tammy Bass-LeSure and Irven Box, defense attorney for accused murderer Jerome Ersland, tangled in court today over Ersland's collection of firearms.

Box told the judge that Ersland gave all his guns to him as partial payment for his attorney fees.

“I gave every weapon of mine to my attorney. I swear to the Lord,” Ersland said.

His comment came after Bass-LeSure demanded a list of all his firearms. Box said his client will not provide such a list and since he (Box) now owns them, he won't either.

Bass-LeSure last week allowed Ersland, 57, of Chickasha to be released on $100,000 bail but she banned him from any access to weapons. The hearing today was to see if he had complied with her order.
