TAHLEQUAH â The judge had been mowing through a list of defendants when she paused after no one in the gallery rose in response to the latest called-out name. After a moment, District Judge Amy Page told those in the courtroom that the person who had failed to turn up at the hearing had âmistakenly headed towards Rogers Countyâ District Court instead. Even though Page was holding court two counties to the east â in Cherokee Nation District Court â it was an understandable mistake these days. Judicial systems across the eastern half of the state have seen unprecedented change in how they operate since the U.S. Supreme Courtâs McGirt vs. Oklahoma ruling 10 months ago, which found that the state of Oklahoma did not have jurisdiction to prosecute criminal cases when they involve an American Indian and the crime occurs within 1860s-era boundaries of the Muscogee Nation.
