OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – A married dentist has been charged with killing his girlfriend’s toddler with a blow to the head after threatening to kill the boy’s father.

Bert Franklin, 35, lived in a $1.3 million home with his wife and four children. When the successful dentist was not spending time with his family or work, he spent it with his mistress of two years and her 19-month-old son, Lincoln Von Henry Lewis.

Neither his girlfriend or his wife knew of each other and, according to investigators, Franklin had been living a double life. That is until July 17. On that day, Franklin was at his girlfriend’s house in an upstairs room with Lewis.

The boy’s mother, Roxanne Lewis-Randall, said she was downstairs when she heard a loud “thud” that Franklin explained was just him throwing a ball to a puppy. The next morning, Lewis-Randall went to check on her son and found him unconscious.

The boy was rushed to the hospital where doctors would find the boy’s head had pinpoints of blood in the skin near the right rear of his skull, hemorrhaging in both eyes and severe swelling and trauma to his brain.

Because of the severity of Lewis’ injuries, police were called and the boy was flown to a Tulsa hospital where he would die the following day. During the boy’s autopsy, a second skull fracture was found.

Lewis-Randall told police that Franklin had become more controlling recently, and that he hated the boy’s father. According to Lewis-Randall, Franklin once said he was going to skin her ex and cut off his penis.

When police interviewed Franklin, they found his version of events to be inconsistent with the evidence. He was arrested and taken to Tulsa County Jail to await extradition to Oklahoma City.

A GoFundMe page has been created to help Lewis-Randall out with expenses. What a world, right? Kid survived being born four months early only to die from his mother’s boyfriend cracking his skull.

Dentists are the least trustworthy and biggest con artists in all of medicine. LOTS of scumbags in that profession.
 
All that hate for the boys dad projected onto that baby.. I've met several people who do not like their partners kids. Disgusting that an adult would hold grudges against children.
 
The mother had surveillence equipment in her home. The police took the hard drive. I hope he was caught on video. I can't imagine being in his wife and children's shoes right now...or the mother of Lincoln. I hope he never gets out of prison.
 
Let's do some math....
19 month old son
24 month relationship
Equals 5 months

So she was already four months pregnant when they first hooked up. Most women at that point are showing. Wondering why he (a man with a wife and four kids of his own) would hook up with a woman pregnant with another mans child.
Maybe their relationship is months longer than the 2 years and they both just knew she was cheating or maybe he got with her knowing he was an abusive piece of shit with intentions on killing him.....or maybe he just found out after the birth that he was not the biological father and he had anger towards the child as if it were somehow his fault.

Any way that I look at it I still want the baby murdering asshole strung up by his balls and castrated to bleed out a slow and painful death.
 
When did that injury occur? It isn't the one that killed him.
Because of the severity of Lewis’ injuries, police were called and the boy was flown to a Tulsa hospital where he would die the following day. During the boy’s autopsy, a second skull fracture was found.
??

Didn't she tell him goodnight?
The next morning, Lewis-Randall went to check on her son and found him unconscious.

I thought it may have been one of his kids, then remembered she didn't know about his family. So whose kid with a dented skull is she posting on FB? What a tragic ending for that little boy, who probably loved his murderer like a father.
 
He was upstairs alone with Lincoln. The baby had spent the day with his aunt and uncle and was tired and cranky when he came home. Mr. Dentist must have put him to bed and tucked him in while mom was downstairs tending to other things. Mom may have gone to say goodnite when she went up to bed but he was knocked out and she probably assumed he had fallen asleep. She didn't have any reason to believe he had hurt Lincoln at that point.

Mr. Dentist hated the father. I'll bet he also hated the child because he was the child of the father he so hated. This is so sad.
 
Can we just start drilling his teeth with no novacaine and keep drilling till we hit his brain? Nice painful death. Poor sweet little boy, I'm so sorry.
 
She was pregnant with Lincoln.. Her 3rd child, when that picture was taken. Thats Trip. The pic just before that one, with her daughter n trip holding dead plants she said its a wonderful thing shes better at keeping kids alive than houseplants.. Baby #3 will be arriving in march. But he came early, in december.

Sad.. I feel bad for her but that could change.
 
The mother had surveillence equipment in her home. The police took the hard drive. I hope he was caught on video. I can't imagine being in his wife and children's shoes right now...or the mother of Lincoln. I hope he never gets out of prison.

He was sort of caught on video, critical bits are missing and the prosecution and defense are arguing over what's going on in the vid. It's at the link you can bear to watch:

This is such a sad, tragic story for that sweet little baby, Lincoln. The mother's married lover should never see the light of day for kicking that innocent baby to death. He is pure evil. I can't help but feel anger towards the mother for inviting this devil into her home and giving him access to her precious child. Such incredible ignorance exhibited by the mother. RIP Lincoln
 
can't help but feel anger towards the mother for inviting this devil into her home and giving him access to her precious child.
We echo those same words over and over here.

Welcome. Its always nice to see new posters.
 
An Oklahoma dentist accused of causing fatal skull fractures to his mistress's 19-month-old son was charged Monday in a new felony case- with conspiring to have her killed so she couldn't testify against him.

Bert Franklin, 36, was set to face trial Monday in the death of his mistress Roxanne Lewis's son, Lincoln Von Henry Lewis. Prosecutors allege Franklin caused the deadly head injuries to the child on July 16, 2016, inside the Lewis' Oklahoma City residence, according to OK News.

The trial was continued after prosecutors charged him with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, after they say he solicited fellow inmates to kill the boy's mother. She is the key witness in her son's murder case.

The inmates Franklin allegedly solicited were working with law enforcement as confidential informants in unrelated cases.

He has been held without bail in the Oklahoma County jail since July 2016, as he is considered a flight risk after losing his dental practice over the toddler's murder charge according to Koco News.

In August, Franklin approached the first informant about 'the possibility of killing a witness in the murder case,' an investigator with the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office wrote in a court affidavit.

This past week, prosecutors allege Franklin gave 'step-by-step driving instructions' to Randall's house to a second informant as well as information on her home security cameras.

Prosecutors allege Franklin had $300 transferred to a third inmate's account, which was to be used as 'compensation for the murder,' according to the affidavit.

His defense attorney says Franklin denies the new allegations. Franklin also has denied harming Randall's son.

Randall had been in a secret relationship with the married dentist for about a year.

CCTV footage allegedly captured him slamming her son Lincoln's head into the ground, making a kicking motion, then carrying the child while nonchalantly getting himself a piece of pizza.

Bert Franklin, 35, was arrested and charged in 2016 with first-degree murder in the death of 19-month-old Lincoln Van Henry Lewis.

When Roxanne realized her son was unresponsive she took him to Mercy Hospital, where he was diagnosed with skull fractures.

Surveillance video was later released which gives a clue to the horrific last moments of baby Lincoln's life.

The footage showed Franklin walking down the stairs at the home of his Ms Randall, with Lincoln in his arms.

At that point, the baby looked alert and awake.

Franklin then disappeared out of view into the living room.

It is unclear what happened next but an Oklahoma City detective told the court she believes the video showed the dentist slamming the child head first into the ground.

Franklin was then seen kicking towards something on the floor which is not visible.

When he walked back into the kitchen, in view of the camera, the child is limp in his arms. Franklin seems unaffected and casually grabbed a piece of pizza from the box on the side, Lincoln's limp legs dangling.

The boy's mother only noticed something was wrong after she tried to wake Lincoln up around 2am to feed.

At that point, she discovered her son unresponsive and rushed him to hospital.

Due to the severity of his injuries, the child was later flown to a Tulsa hospital where he passed away, according to police.

A doctor who initially treated Lincoln in Oklahoma City called police because the toddler's injuries were consistent with abuse, according to a press release cited by Tulsa World.

.
An autopsy that was performed in the wake of the child's death found that Lincoln had severe swelling and trauma to his brain, as well as hemorrhaging in both eyes caused by a pair of skull fractures.

Roxanne told police that on July 17, 2016, she was downstairs in her home in the 14800 block of Gravity Falls when she heard a loud 'thud' from an upstairs bedroom, where Franklin and Lincoln were alone at the time.

Franklin later told his girlfriend that the noise she heard was with from a small ball he was throwing to a puppy.

According to Roxanne, her boyfriend hated Lincoln's biological father and had threatened to kill him, 'skin him in Bricktown' and cut off his penis, Fox 25 reported.

She also claimed that Franklin recently had begun to exhibit 'controlling behavior.' Investigators stated in Franklin's arrest warrant that his wife and his mistress were not aware of one another's existence.

Detectives said when they interviewed Bert Franklin, they found his story to be inconsistent with the evidence in the case.

Franklin later surrendered and is set to stand trial for murder starting September 25, 2017.

Prosecutors told the judge at the bail hearing that Franklin would be a flight risk because he's lost everything after the case - including his Tulsa dental practice.

The trial of Tulsa dentist, Bert Franklin, got underway in an Oklahoma County courtroom Monday.

Franklin is a married man with four children but was having an affair with a metro woman.

He is accused of killing her 19 month old son, Lincoln Lewis, in July of 2016.

He is also facing another charge of solicitation of murder because prosecutors say he tried to hire someone while he was in the Oklahoma County jail to murder the toddler’s mother, Roxanne Randall.

He is being tried on both charges in the same trial.

During opening arguments Monday morning, prosecutors referred to Franklin as a “master manipulator.”

They told jurors that a doctor described the fracture on Lewis’ skull as “the worst he’s ever seen” and that it had to be the result of something intentional, not accidental.

The state alleges Franklin slammed Lewis to the ground and kicked him.

They say his motive was jealousy; that he had come to Oklahoma City to have a romantic weekend with Randall, not expecting the toddler to be around.

The state also claims Franklin was jealous because Randall had recently spent time with Lewis’ biological dad.

The defense told jurors they will hear from a doctor who will say it’s impossible to determine if Lincoln’s injury was the result of abuse.

Franklin’s attorney claimed Lewis had at least two different falls in the week leading up to his death.

And they also deny that Franklin was trying to have Randall killed.

They claim he’s been the victim of extortion at the jail and that any actions he’s taken have been simply to survive.

Randall is expected to take the stand first thing Tuesday morning.

“Well I’ll tell you what we’re going to see tomorrow. You’re going to see a master manipulator tomorrow because Roxanne Randall’s going to take the stand and we’ll see what happens there,” said Franklin’s defense attorney, Scott Adams.

The Oklahoma dentist caught callously grabbing a slice of pizza while holding the limp body of his mistress' son just moments after allegedly slamming the toddler's head into the ground has been found guilty of murder.

An Oklahoma County jury found Bert Franklin, 35, guilty of first-degree murder in the 2016 death of 19-month-old Lincoln Van Henry Lewis.

The jury also found Franklin, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, guilty of soliciting the murder of Lincoln's mother, Franklin's mistress, Roxanne Randall, while he was in jail.

The jury recommended that Franklin, a married father of four, serve life without parole for Lincoln's murder and life in prison for soliciting Randall's murder.

In July 2016, Randall found her son, Lincoln, unresponsive at home and took him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with skull fractures. Due to the severity of his injuries, the child was flown to a Tulsa, Oklahoma, hospital where he passed away.

A doctor who initially treated Lincoln called police because his injuries were consistent with abuse.

An autopsy that was performed in the wake of the child's death found that Lincoln had severe swelling and trauma to his brain, as well as hemorrhaging in both eyes caused by a pair of skull fractures.

The pair of guilty verdicts were handed down Thursday after two weeks of witness testimony, KFOR reported.

During the trial, expert witnesses for the prosecution stated that Lincoln's injuries could not have been accidental or self-inflicted, with one doctor calling the head injuries the 'worst fracture' he'd ever seen.

Shocking surveillance video released during the trial showed Franklin walking around Randall's home, carrying an alert and awake Lincoln. Franklin then disappears out of view into the living room.

It was unclear what happened next, but an Oklahoma City detective told the court she believed the video showed the dentist slamming the child head first into the ground.

Franklin was then seen kicking towards something on the floor which is not visible.

When Franklin walks back into the kitchen, in view of the camera, with the child limp in his arms. Franklin then casually grabs a piece of pizza from the box on the side.

Franklin's lawyer said that he was kicking a dog, not Lincoln, as had been suggested and that Franklin did not kill the child.

A former Tulsa dentist will spend the rest of his life in prison after a jury found him guilty of murdering his girlfriend's little boy.

A judge sentenced Franklin Friday to life in prison without parole.

Franklin was also found guilty of trying to hire a hitman while he was in prison to kill Randall before his trial began.

He got a life sentence on that charge. The sentences will run back-to-back.
