Oklahoma History Center honors crime victims with Christmas trees
SUMMARY: During the holiday season, victims of crime are honored at the Oklahoma History Center with Christmas trees dedicated to their memories. Families who have lost loved ones, such as a mother who lost her son to a drunk driver in 2007 and a woman mourning her son killed in a drive-by shooting, find solace in this tribute. The trees, organized by the Oklahoma District Attorney Council, feature ornaments that showcase individual stories. This initiative allows families to keep their loved ones’ memories alive, providing a space for reflection during what can be a challenging time. The exhibit is open for visitors on the third floor.

New details in defamation suit against State Supt. Ryan Walters
SUMMARY: A defamation lawsuit has been filed against Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters by Rob Miller, the superintendent of Bixby Public Schools.

Walters’ defense cites immunity under the Oklahoma Government Tort Claims Act, asserting that his statements were made while performing his official duties. A Tulsa County judge recently heard arguments from both parties, with a ruling expected in 30 days.

Edmond police officer seeks immunity in brother's shooting
SUMMARY: Lieutenant Jennifer Haddock of the Edmond Police Department shot her brother, Sean, in August 2023, and is seeking immunity from prosecution under Oklahoma’s Stand Your Ground law. During a 911 call, she reported the incident, stating, “I just shot my brother.” The court documents indicate Sean was under the influence of meth and fentanyl, posing a dangerous threat while blocking her exit in their mother’s apartment. Haddock’s attorney argues she acted in self-defense after attempting de-escalation and faced imminent danger. The law allows individuals to use deadly force if they reasonably believe it’s necessary to prevent significant harm.
