@Seattle1No problem.
Once the Supreme Court ruled on McGirt (summer 2020), defendant Hall was indicted by a federal grand jury, and I've been pulling the federal court docket and sharing with @Niner ever since:
U.S. District Court
Eastern District of Oklahoma (Muskogee)
CRIMINAL DOCKET FOR CASE #: 6:20-cr-00111-RAW-1
One thing to keep in mind as to the length of time it takes to get these cases through court, is that after the McGirt ruling the federal courts are having to retry cases that were already tried and sentenced in state courts. In fact they are swamped.
They are now kicking some back to the state that involve a non Native American perpetrator on a Native victim. Others such as Hall tried to take advantage of the ruling to get her case out of state court and into federal court because Oklahoma has the death penalty and are not shy about following through with it fairly quickly.
But it continues to be law that if it is a Native American perpetrator in Indian Territory it either stays in Tribal Court or goes to federal court. The state of Oklahoma has no jurisdiction over us. Neither does any city in Oklahoma.
One of the saddest aspects of this case is KT played football for Beggs and was a number one draft pick for the University of Oklahoma among other colleges. He had already been approached by TU, OU, Alabama and OSU with a full ride scholarship. He had a bright future in Pro football. I saw him play a few times when Beggs played Hominy and Pawhuska. The kid had a gift, that's for certain.
