In Oklahoma, a misdemeanor arraignment is the first formal court hearing after being arrested for a misdemeanor crime. During the arraignment, the judge will determine if you can afford a private attorney or if you need to be appointed a public defender. If you cannot afford a private attorney, you will fill out a pauper’s affidavit to prove your financial situation. If the judge determines that you can hire a private attorney but need more time, they may give you a pass to a future arraignment docket. The state will also present the formal charges against you during the arraignment. Having a private attorney can be beneficial as you may not need to appear in person, allowing you to continue with your daily responsibilities.

In Oklahoma, simply sitting in your car while under the influence can result in a DUI charge. According to Oklahoma City Attorney Aaron Easton, the concept of actual physical control is key here. Unlike a regular DUI where driving must be proven, actual physical control only requires demonstrating the ability to drive the vehicle. This means that if you are sitting in the car with the keys and could have driven it, you may be found guilty. If you find yourself in this situation, it is important to seek legal advice to explore your options. Contact Attorney Aaron Easton at (918) 932-2833 for assistance.

The Jackson-Denno hearing is an important aspect of the criminal justice system in Oklahoma. It allows individuals who have given a confession to law enforcement to challenge the admissibility of that confession in court. This in-camera hearing, held in front of a judge, determines whether the confession was voluntary or coerced. The case of Jackson v. Denno established that using an involuntary confession as evidence violates a defendant’s due process rights. By requesting the court to exclude the confession, individuals can potentially weaken the state’s case against them. If you have concerns about a confession you made during an interrogation, it is crucial to consult with a criminal attorney for guidance and support.
