McGirt dismissal in Tulsa County. I'm Tulsa attorney, James Wirth, and I just want to tell you about a recent decision concerning a McGirt Dismissal in Tulsa County.

I just got this back from the court, and that is a case that we were handling, where we had arguments, two arguments actually, we had a speedy trial violation argument that the court and the DA waited too long in pushing this case forward and prosecuting it.

And we also had a McGirt argument, where our client is a Native American and the crime allegedly occurred, well in any part of Tulsa County now is a reservation, or generally considered to be a reservation, either Muskogee Creek Nation or Cherokee Nation.

And in this case, I believe it was in Muskogee Creek Nation part, and based on that, we were able to convince the state to file a motion to dismiss, and this is the order dismissing that charge. So that has now been thrown out.

So that gives you a little bit of background on how things are going or an update on how things are going in Tulsa County.

They are dismissing many cases if you have clear evidence that the defendant is Native American and clear evidence that it occurred within the boundaries of the Muskogee Creek Nation, then they are dismissing those and sending those off to either the tribe or the Feds for potential prosecution, depending on what the circumstances of the case are and where it needs to be potentially tried.
