Based on the United States
Based on the United States Supreme Court decision, the state of Oklahoma lacked jurisdiction to charge tribal members with crimes that were allegedly committed in that area.
They lack that jurisdiction. Never should have charged them, even though they’ve been doing it for 100 years, and can’t do so now according to this decision.
So if you have a prior conviction or you have a case that’s pending, this may get that kicked right out of state court.
At that point, it’s up to the federal government on whether they can prosecute in federal court or the tribal government whether they can prosecute and whether they want to prosecute there, depending on the type of crime and the severity of the crime.
So this may give you a fast track to dismissal if you have a pending case.
Supreme Court Opened the Door to Possible Conviction Reversal for Tribal Members with Convictions.
