Oklahoma- Gov. Kevin Stitt announced a website that let’s people tell their story to Gov. Stitt if they feel they have been impacted by the McGirt decision.
In 2020 the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the conviction of child rapist Jimcy McGirt on the grounds that the Creek Nation’s reservation was never disestablished for criminal jurisdiction. State courts no longer have the authority to prosecute crimes committed by or against Oklahomans who are also tribal members.
Hundreds of criminal cases are now being dismissed because the state does not have the ability to try and convict criminals on historic tribal lands.
If you have been impacted by this ruling, reach out to Gov. Stitt: https://oklahoma.gov/mcgirt.html
