Oklahoma’s HB 3742 protects against wrongful convictions with one of the strongest discovery statutes in the country. The new law clarifies and expands criminal discovery rules by requiring prosecutors to disclose the full extent of the investigation, not just what they expect to use in trial. It also requires such evidence to be turned over much earlier in the process, 30 days before pretrial hearings as opposed to 10 days before trial, giving defense counsel the necessary time to conduct a full investigation.
