Oklahoma is going backwards

[Rob B.]

I doubt it was Oklahoma County because they have multiple ADAs assigned to every courtroom and every Judge for every docket.

Additionally, I don't know what the charges actually were, but unless there is a no bond hearing (and those are limited in availability to crimes carrying up to life and a few other things), everybody gets an appearance bond amount set. Right to bail/bond is an Oklahoma Constitutional right.

Defendant would have gotten a bond amount whether or not the ADA/DA was there at arraignment. A DA/ADA there at arraignment/initial appearance could have suggested a very high bond.....but we don't know how high it was actually set at....and that decision is ultimately up to the Judge.

Drummond's office requested $1.5million bond then didn't show for the arraignment.

And he wants to be our guvnuh.

Republicans might as well support transgender care by suicide. Some time ago a Republican Montana legislator said she'd sooner her child commit suicide than go through gender transitioning. If Republicans would just give a prayer of thanks to God for not having gender dysphoria in their families and leave those people alone, it would sure help humanity.

Since Stitt must appoint an interim Senator, can he appoint himself?
Because lord help us.

Interesting as well as disgusting how a guy who has to go to prison for 15 years for just possession of child porn, while in the same county a 17-year-old who raped two girls, nearly killing one of them, is called a youthful offender and doesn't have to spend time in prison at all. Will immoral wonders ever cease in Oklahoma?

He's 80 years old.

So just recently old enough to fit in.

Not a real bad choice. Stitt wouldn't be boosting the political fortunes of a much younger person.
