TopicOKC & Tulsa Public Defenders
ContentCurrently the public defenders for Tulsa and Oklaoma county are appionted by and serve at the pleasure of the district judges. The problem with this is that these Public Defenders are required to appear in front of those judges and represent their clients. The public defenders for Tulsa and Oklahoma county should be appionted by either the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals or the Oklahoma Supreme Court. It actually makes more sense to have state wide public defenders office but if you are not going to do that the Tulsa County and Oklahoma County Public Defenders should be independent and appionted by someone other than the judges they must appear in front of.
