UPDATE: The preliminary hearing for the men accused of gunning down five people in north Tulsa on the morning of April 6 will reconvene next month.

Defense attorneys for Good Friday murder suspect Jacob England have moved to have a statement made by England to police withheld.

Clark Brewster, one of the attorneys, says he believes a Tulsa police detective violated the suspect's Miranda rights against self-incrimination.

Tulsa County Special Judge David Youll will read briefs from both sides on the issue and reconvene the preliminary hearing August 14.

Two people especially close to  England testified that he admitted shooting and killing several people during Monday's preliminary hearing in Tulsa County District Court.

The first witness to take the stand in Judge Kurt Glassco's courtroom on the 4th floor was Cindy Wilde, the mother of Jake England's girlfriend and grandmother of his child.

Her daughter, Sheran Wilde, the mother of Jake's baby son, committed suicide about three months before the Good Friday shooting spree.

Wilde testified Monday that she spoke with England several times that weekend, and at one point asked him if he had anything to do with "someone going around killing black people in north Tulsa."

"Yes, I might have" he replied, according to her testimony.

She told the court he went on to tell her that during the previous night he "took off to go to the casino, shot someone, went to the casino, shot someone, then came home."

Wilde says she had sold England a .38 caliber pistol, so she asked England "you didn't use my pistol?"

"Yes," she testified he told her, "but they will never, ever find it."

She added that England had two pickup trucks, generally referred to in court as "the old one" and "the new one."

He had told her that the muffler had fallen off the new truck, and further that he removed the plates from the old truck and put them on the new truck to confuse any witnesses to the shooting.

And, she said, he went into some detail about the shootings, telling the tale "like a normal conversation, he was just telling a story."

Saturday, April 7 about dusk, following an Easter egg hunt at her home for her grandchildren and some friends, Wilde says she went looking for a police officer to tell them about England and his friend, Alvin Watts.

She found some ATF agents at the soccer fields on E. 61st St. North. "You could see Jake's house from there," she testified.

Wilde asked if they were looking for England, they said they were, then after a brief conversation told her to go home and they would come get her to take her downtown for questioning.

She also drove England's truck to O'Brien Park, she told the court, then called the ATF and told them where to find it.

Asked if England explained why he had shot five people that night, she replied he told her "if he could have killed him first, the guy that killed his dad, he wouldn't have done these killings."

England's father was shot and killed by Pernell Demond Jefferson, a black man, during a confrontation in April, 2010.

That shooting was ruled as justifiable self-defense and prosecutors did not press charges.

In response to defense questioning, Wilde testified that she takes Xanax, and that she has had some problems with memory.

Next to take the stand was Tim Hoey, England's maternal uncle.

Hoey testified that Jake worked for him doing remodeling work on homes, including mobile homes.

He says when he noticed something was up with Jake that weekend and asked "what's going on?" England told him "I shot some n*****s."

England and Watts were at Hoey's home when it became clear police were hunting for them, according to testimony.

Hoey says he told the pair "you need to get out of here."

They hid at a vacant mobile home a few blocks away, and the second time police showed up at Hoey's trailer they put him in cuffs and told him they knew he could lead them to the suspects, which he then did.

Hoey said the pair told him in detail about the shootings, and that "they were having a contest."

England shot two people, then Watts shot two, then England shot the fifth and final victim, Hoey says the men told him.

He says he urged them to "come out and go downtown" to turn themselves in after police came to his house the first time, but they refused.

The preliminary hearing will determine if there's enough probable cause to proceed to trial.
