What is considered a violent crime in Oklahoma? I'm Tulsa criminal defense attorney, James Wirth, and we're talking about violent crime and how that is defined in Oklahoma.

It's actually defined by statute and it's pretty clear cut if you know where to look for it. So the statute is related to Prison Overcrowding Emergency Powers Act, and this allows certain people to be released from incarceration early if it's a nonviolent crime.

So in order to determine who could be released early, we had to have the legislature define what are violent crimes and that's what they did and it's in the statute.

It's titled 57, section 5-71, and it has, violent crime means any of the following felony offenses and any attempts to commit or conspire, solicit to commit any of those crimes.

And it's got a long list of them and includes assault and battery or assault and battery with a dangerous or deadly weapon. Okay, so that doesn't mean simple assault doesn't mean simple battery or simple assault or battery, and it doesn't even mean domestic assault and battery.
