10 Years in the Oklahoma State Prison Again

February 4, 2007 / by fowlnews

10 years in the Oklahoma state prison, But.......

Still, Turner pities those who are seeking to convict him and his associates.

"They have messed up big time," Turner said outside the courtroom. "We're not gonna win (in District Court). This case will be won in a higher court, and the higher this court goes, the more trouble these people will be in.

Strange, these people were arrested in June 2004 in Cotton County Oklahoma and not brought to trial until February 2007 and now the defendants are seeking a Fast Track to the trial? What gives here? All kinds of questions come up on this trial, do you get the feeling this trial is really about something other than two little chickens kicking each others butts? Do you get the feeling the Kiowa Nation has been waiting for three years on this trial and the County of Cotton and the State of Oklahoma haven't? You don't think this could all be about the Sovereignty and Jurisdiction of the Kiowa Nation and really not  about feathers at all, do you?
 
Stay Tuned For More Justice, Oklahoma Style...........
 

Six Seek Fast Track for Cockfight Trial: Courts: Preliminary Hearing Waived

By Ron Jackson, The Daily Oklahoman

Feb. 3--WALTERS -- Six defendants charged with cockfighting in Cotton County waived their rights to a preliminary hearing Friday.

Each defendant pleaded not guilty to a felony charge that could carry up to 10 years in state prison, or a fine up to $25,000.

"Ultimately, our goal is to get this on a fast track for trial," said Oklahoma City attorney Irven Box, who represents the six defendants. "We don't believe the state has jurisdiction, so one of our goals is to get it in an appellate court. This is a very complicated case. The cockfighting was done on, quote, 'Indian Country.'

"We've spent a great deal of time at the Historical Society researching Indian treaties and so forth. This isn't a simple case whatsoever."
