Court blasts minimum sentences for guilty pleas in Oklahoma
The Oklahoma Criminal Court of Appeals rebuked county attorneys for offering 5 year minimums for guilty pleas in an armed robbery case from Claremore. Judges upheld 15 and 9 year terms, later cut to 10 and 7. Judge Brett condemned the practice as unlawful and binding without the court, while Presiding Judge Jones disagreed.
