Special Criminal Misdemeanor Disposition Docket Held For Delayed Tulsa County Cases
Tulsa County misdemeanor cases that had been put on hold for months because of the pandemic picked back up Friday.
Judges, prosecutors, lawyers and defendants met at the Cox Convention Center so they could space out and tackle as many cases as possible. Tulsa County court records show more than 4,000 misdemeanor cases have been filed since the pandemic started. Nearly 400 cases were scheduled to go before a judge Friday.
The makeshift courtroom at the Cox Convention Center offered a change of scenery and more importantly, a lot more space.
