In Oklahoma, completing a deferred sentence on a misdemeanor conviction might allow you to have your record expunged. According to Title 22, Section 18 of the Oklahoma Statutes, there are specific criteria you must meet. Firstly, you must have never been convicted of a felony before. Secondly, there should be no pending misdemeanor or felony charges against you. Lastly, at least one year must have passed since the charge was dismissed. It’s important to note that any fines or fees associated with the sentence must be paid off as well. If you believe you meet these criteria, it is advisable to consult with an attorney who can guide you through the expungement process.

In Oklahoma, if you don’t qualify for an expungement under the state statutes, there is still one route you can take to get your record expunged. While there are close to 20 different ways to qualify for an expungement based on the type of crime and your criminal record, if you don’t meet any of those criteria, you can pursue a pardon from the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board. If granted, this pardon will allow you to have your arrest and conviction record expunged. It’s important to note that the pardon and expungement processes are separate, but they can be pursued consecutively. If you think you may qualify for a pardon, you can contact our firm for a initial consultation to discuss the specifics of your case.

If you were arrested but never prosecuted for a crime in Oklahoma, you may be wondering if you can have that record expunged. According to Oklahoma City Attorney Aaron Easton, the answer is yes, it is possible. Under Title 22, Section 18 of the Oklahoma statutes, there are subsections that deal with expungements. Specifically, Section 5 addresses the scenario where an individual was arrested but not prosecuted. If the agency that would prosecute you has either declined to file charges or the statute of limitations for the crime has expired, you have the right to get that arrest record expunged. However, it’s important to consult with an attorney to determine if you qualify for expungement.

In this blog post, Oklahoma City Attorney Aaron Easton discusses the circumstances in which law enforcement officers can search an area that an individual has an expectation of privacy in. He begins by explaining that officers can breach this expectation if they have a valid search or arrest warrant, or if they have an invalid warrant obtained through good faith or reasonable mistake. Additionally, officers can legally search a vehicle if they have probable cause, or conduct a search incident to a lawful arrest. Easton also mentions the plain view doctrine, consent searches, and emergency circumstances as other situations where officers can search without a warrant. He advises individuals to consult with an attorney if they have questions about the legality of a search they were involved in.

In Oklahoma, murder in the second degree, also known as murder two, is defined in Title 21, Section 701.8 of the Oklahoma Statutes. There are two ways the state can charge someone with murder in the second degree. The first is when the death of another is caused through imminently dangerous activity and inventing a depraved heart. Intent plays a crucial role, as the state doesn’t have to prove that the accused had specific intent to cause death. Instead, they must establish that the death occurred due to reckless disregard or total indifference to human life. The second way is through the felony murder rule, which applies when the death occurs during the commission of a felony not listed under first degree murder. If you face murder charges, it’s essential to consult with an attorney to navigate your case. Contact my firm for a initial consultation.
