Legal Answers
Q. Is attemted robbery in oklahoma an 85 percent crime?
A: No. There are a couple unpublished opinions from the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals (Robertson v. JCCC, HC-2005-768 - 2006, and Day v. State, F-2007-526 - 2008) that essentially provide that an attempt to commit a crime specified in Section 13.1 of Title 21 (the 85% crimes) is not subject to the 85% restriction and inmates with such sentences can earn credits toward the completion of their sentence. The Oklahoma Department of Corrections has a policy that implements the rule from the two unpublished opinions referenced above.
Q. I have a felony from September of 2014, am I able to get it expunged? With that I got a misdemeanor in November of 2018.
A: It depends on whether your felony resulted in a conviction and what the crime was. If it was a conviction but one that can be expunged without a pardon, the misdemeanor conviction would prevent you from obtaining the expungement now. In that situation, you would have to wait until seven years has passed since the misdemeanor expungement. Contact an expungement lawyer to discuss the matter further. The attorney can advise whether you qualify now, if you will qualify in the near future, or if you need to obtain a pardon.
Q. I would like to know if I am a defendant in a criminal case in the state of oklahoma and I am bonded out by an accredite
A: If you have been charged with a criminal offense, the court can set conditions for your pretrial release. Sometimes no conditions exist other than to not commit new crimes and to remain in contact with your bondsman. Other times, the court requires the person to have a GPS monitor, to have no contact with individuals involved in the case (i.e. complaining witness), periodic drug testing, and sometimes other conditions are applicable. Failure to comply with pretrial release/bail requirements of the court can result in bail being revoked and the person being held in jail awaiting trial.

A bondsman generally has to comply with the contract you signed with them - just as you must comply with the same contract. So, if it is the bondsman requiring the drug testing and not the court, the appropriateness of that would depend on what the contract you signed with the bondsman provides/requires. ... Read More
