In OCCA case No. C-2018-687, the petitioner appealed his conviction for concealing stolen property and drug-related crimes. In a published decision, the court decided to deny the petition but remanded for further proceedings. One judge dissented. In OCCA case No. C-2018-688, the petitioner also raised issues about his sentences and fines. He argued that the fines were too high, and he expressed concerns about the costs of his incarceration. The court found some merit in his claims, particularly regarding the fines exceeding legal limits and the lack of consideration for his mental health concerning incarceration costs. However, the court did not find that the total sentences were excessively long. The petitioner had previously pleaded guilty to charges and was placed in a program for young adults but later faced new misdemeanor charges, leading to the state seeking to accelerate his sentencing. Ultimately, while the court upheld the denial of his request to withdraw his pleas, it recognized problems regarding the assessment of fines and costs, which warranted a remand for further investigation. Thus, the case will go back to the lower court for resolution of these issues.
In OCCA case No. S-2016-29, the State of Oklahoma appealed the conviction of Jones for unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous substance (methamphetamine) with intent to distribute and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. In a published decision, the court decided to dismiss the appeal because the State did not file the required Petition in Error within the time limit. One judge dissented.
In OCCA case No. J-2015-930, Z.M.M. appealed his conviction for two counts of Rape in the First Degree and seven counts of Lewd Acts with a Child under 16. In a published decision, the court decided to dismiss the appeal as moot. No one dissented. The case started after a non-jury trial where the District Court of Cleveland County found Z.M.M. guilty. The judge sentenced him to twenty-five years in prison for each count. Later, a motion was filed by the state to transfer Z.M.M. to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. Z.M.M. appealed, arguing that he should receive credit for the time he spent in the custody of the Office of Juvenile Affairs. The state's response to the appeal acknowledged that Z.M.M. should be given credit for that time. They provided an amended judgment that corrected this mistake. Since the main issue in Z.M.M.’s appeal had been resolved, the court suggested that the appeal was no longer necessary and could be dismissed. When the court asked Z.M.M. to respond, he did not object to the dismissal. Because there was no reason to continue the case, the appeal was officially dismissed, ending the court's involvement.
In OCCA case No. S-2005-1250, Dinkins appealed his conviction for trafficking in illegal drugs, assaulting a police officer, attempted destruction of evidence, and driving without a seatbelt. In an unpublished decision, the court decided to affirm the trial court’s ruling, which had granted Dinkins's motion to suppress evidence collected during an illegal search. One judge dissented.
In OCCA case No. RE-2002-580, Garcia appealed his conviction for obtaining money by means of a false check. In a published decision, the court decided to reverse the acceleration of Garcia’s deferred sentencing and sent the matter back for further proceedings. One judge dissented. Here is what happened in simpler terms: Garcia was found guilty of a crime and got a chance to avoid a harsh punishment by being put on probation for five years. But a short time after starting probation, the state said he broke the rules, so they wanted to give him a tougher punishment. The judge first made sure Garcia was mentally okay to understand what was happening and to help in his defense. After deciding he was competent, the judge allowed the hearing to continue without first ensuring that Garcia had a lawyer present. During a later hearing, it was found that Garcia indeed had violated probation, and he was sentenced to a year in jail and a fine. Garcia argued that the judge should not have moved ahead with the case without following the proper steps, especially regarding his right to have a lawyer. The court agreed with Garcia’s point. They decided that the earlier decision to make his sentence tougher was not done correctly. So, the court reversed the punishment and sent the case back to make sure Garcia had a lawyer and that all the necessary rules were followed in the next steps.
