A teenager has been charged with the murder of his mother.

First-degree murder charges were filed against 15-year-old Ian Cole in the death of Melissa Ann Cole.

Melissa Cole was found stabbed to death in her third-floor apartment. Police said the teen stayed with his mother occasionally and that there was evidence of an argument.

Ian Cole was charged with stabbing his mother to death in 2016.

As part of a no contest plea the court withheld judgment pending the completion of a juvenile treatment program.

Judge Sharon Holmes ruled Cole successfully completed the program and expunged his record.

He is fucking nutters. Portions of article dated March 2017 below. You'll have to read the entire article to get the gist of why his case was recently dismissed.

A 16-year-old described by a doctor as an “active danger to himself and others” entered a plea to a reduced charge in the stabbing death of his mother, but a judge has withheld a finding of guilt while the teenager undergoes mental health treatment.
[…]
A Feb. 28 motion from Chief Public Defender Rob Nigh states that the Oklahoma Department of Health and Human Services has diagnosed Cole with schizophrenia and a schizoaffective disorder. Cole’s treatment plan, Nigh said, described him as being “an active danger to himself and others” because he exhibits “actively psychotic” behavior.
A first-degree murder charge, according to Oklahoma law, would have mandated that Cole be treated as an adult in legal proceedings. But the reduced charge allows Cole to be prosecuted as a youthful offender, a designation sought in the motion by Nigh, who argued Cole’s mental state would put him and others at risk if he were prosecuted as an adult.
[…]
Cole “has an extensive mental health background, including in-patient treatment for serious mental health issues,” Grayless said. “Based upon that and with the family’s agreement, we believed the just decision was to let him participate in the (Youthful Offender) program. Though it was a reduction in charge, he’s still facing years of treatment and years of supervision.”

Wait, youthful offender? Declaring expungement of records? Doesnt announcing this defeat the entire point of mental health treatment and expungement? Anyone who plugs his name into a search engine is gonna see the articles.
