Do Snitches Get Stitches in Oklahoma?

Do snitches get stitches? Hi, I’m Oklahoma City Attorney Aaron Easton, and while that’s not a question I can answer for you, I can tell you that snitches do get special jury instructions in the state of Oklahoma. In fact, in Oklahoma Uniform Jury Instruction 9-43A, as in Adam, entitled Jailhouse Snitches, we learn that the state of Oklahoma in a criminal trial, when a informant testifies against a defendant, the court is supposed to give the jury the special jury instruction when they’re determining that defendant’s guilt or innocence.

And essentially what it does is it goes through and tells the jury that if a defendant has provided their testimony for things such as pay, immunity from prosecution on this case or another, leniency in prosecution, a personal advantage because they’re being vindictive, things of that nature, that it doesn’t disqualify that informant’s testimony, but the jury is supposed to take that into consideration to determine is this informant, are they overly biased, can I trust what they’re saying about the defendant, and to what level can I trust that?
