Okfuskee County Felony Case Process

Felony cases in Okfuskee County follow Oklahoma criminal procedure. Under 21 O.S. Section 13, a felony is any crime that can be punished by death or time in a state prison. Less serious crimes fall under misdemeanor status. The district attorney files felony charges after reviewing evidence from law enforcement. Once charges are filed, the case gets a CF number and goes on the court docket.

The defendant appears for arraignment, where the charges are read and a plea is entered. Bond may be set or denied based on the severity of the charges and the risk of flight. Preliminary hearings test whether there is enough evidence to hold the case for trial. Many felony cases in Okfuskee County are resolved through plea agreements before they reach trial. If a case does go to trial, a jury or judge hears the evidence and reaches a verdict. All of these steps create records that become part of the public court file.

Oklahoma's Open Records Act under 51 O.S. Section 24A.8 makes most court records available to anyone who asks. You do not have to be involved in the case. Juvenile records, mental health cases, and adoption files are the main exceptions.
