McGirt ruling bringing some criminal cases back to square one

Prosecutors are anticipating the McGirt ruling is close to applying to the Cherokee Nation soon. The Supreme Court ruled the Muscogee (Creek) Nation had never relinquished its reservation, and that Jimcy McGirt, a convicted child molester, should have been tried in federal rather than state court. Since then, other tribes have read the ruling as applicable to their jurisdictions. District Attorney Jack Thorp said the McGirt ruling is bringing many criminal cases back to square one. Cases wherein a Native American was convicted of one of the major crimes – murder, manslaughter, rape, assault with intent to kill, arson, burglary, and larceny – could be retried in federal court.
