Q. Does prosecutor have to disclose all of a witness statements or just 1 of their statements

September 9, 2024

A: Prosecutors are required to turn over exculpatory evidence in criminal cases. If you are the defendant and your attorney believes there are statements out there of this nature, they need to immediately request them.

If you have independent proof of such a statement (in other words, the person making the statement will cooperate), that would certainly be an easy way to go about securing such information.

You should immediately consult your attorney or some other seasoned criminal defense attorney.

Best of luck!

Q. How do I get someone in jail released to inpatient drug rehab?

September 6, 2024

A: Well, that is a bit of a simplification in terms of what a judge, or the state of Oklahoma, might be willing to do. When they arrest someone and place them in custody as they await criminal prosecution for a charge, absent some very special circumstances, they will usually remain in jail until they bond out or they dispose of their case by plea-bargain where they receive some type of probation and are immediately released.

Most counties also have alternative courts, which means, if there’s a drug or alcohol problem, they can enter a plea and enter that program. Although it does happen on occasion, they will generally not agree to simply let someone out of jail if a bond has been set for an alleged crime, so that they can enter a dog treatment facility.

Q. An offender tore up a house(removed wall) committing crime. Is not charged RESTITUTION. Why is this

September 3, 2024

A: That’s a very Interesting question. There are a variety of reasons that factor into whether or not someone charged with a crime owes any restitution at all in the first place. Then there are questions surrounding the manner in which their restitution is to be measured. There are instances where although restitution is appropriate and can be quantified, however the defendant simply has no means to pay as in a situation involving homelessness, or indigency.

I think we would definitely need some additional information in order to give you the best possible answer to your question. And of course, ultimately the decision rests not with the victim, but with the prosecuting authority (usually the district attorneys office) along with the judge assigned to the case.

In order to get the best possible answer to your question it would be wise to contact a seasoned criminal defense attorney and supply them with all of the pertinent facts of the case.

I wish you the very best of luck! ... Read More
