Скачать или смотреть What Crimes Are Considered “Violent” in Oklahoma?

Tahlequah attorney, Ryan Cannonie, shows you where to find the list of violent crimes in Oklahoma statutes.

Now under the proposed State Question, they're going to look at the list of violent crimes as of January 1st of this year.

But there's actually a change in that statute that's coming here in less than a month on November 1st, just a few days before the election, that adds some more violent crimes to Oklahoma's Violent Crime Registry.

So it's kind of weird that we have the State Question that's very specific as to what date these crimes qualify, and after that you can't add any, but in the same year that they were trying to get it, they're adding crimes on there.

Specifically what they're adding is domestic violence to the violent crime statute. Currently domestic violence is not a violent crime in Oklahoma. As of November 1st, it will be classified as a violent crime.

Now when we talk violent crime, one of the things we're talking about is not so much how it impacts the actual crime you're charged with, but a lot of how it impacts sentencing and expungement.

If you have a violent crime, you're not going to be able to get an expungement. You can try to get maybe a pardon on that, but expungements will not apply to you.

Same with a lot of your ability to reduce your time, your sentence. Violent crime is treated more severely. Most of these are going to be also considered 85% crimes, which means that you have to serve 85% of your sentence before you qualify for parole.

That's a separate statute and a separate list, but there's a lot of overlap between violent crimes and 85 percenters.
