In Oklahoma, it is possible to appeal a conviction that you pled guilty or no contest to in a plea bargain. However, it is not a direct appeal to the Court of Criminal Appeals. Instead, you will need to make an application to the district court where your plea bargain was agreed to, requesting to withdraw your plea. This must be done within 10 days from the pronouncement of the judgment and sentence, and you must also request an evidentiary hearing. It is important to note that the burden is on the defendant to prove that the plea was not knowing and voluntary. If you find yourself in this situation, it is crucial to act quickly and consult with an attorney who can guide you through the process.

If you were previously convicted of a felony in Oklahoma and that crime has now been changed to a misdemeanor, you may be wondering if you can get your criminal record expunged.

These criteria include the conviction not being for a violent felony, the former felony being reclassified as a misdemeanor, not currently serving a sentence for any crime, at least 30 days passing since the completion of the sentence or commutation, payment of any restitution or fines, and completion of a treatment program if the crime was drug-related. However, it is recommended to consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics of your case and determine if you qualify for expungement.

In Oklahoma, getting a misdemeanor conviction expunged is not a straightforward process. According to Title 22, Section 18 of the Oklahoma Statutes, there are specific criteria you must meet depending on the circumstances of your case. If your misdemeanor conviction resulted in a suspended sentence or a fine of less than $500, you fall under subsection 10. If it resulted in a term of imprisonment or a fine greater than $500, you fall under subsection 11. However, regardless of the subsection, you must have completed your sentence in its entirety and have no pending felony or misdemeanor cases against you. Additionally, if you fall under subsection 11, you must wait at least five years after completing your sentence. To determine if you are eligible for expungement, it is recommended to consult with an attorney who specializes in post-conviction matters.
