What Is an 85% Crime in Oklahoma?
In Oklahoma, an 85% crime refers to the percentage of a sentence that must be served before being eligible for parole. There are 22 crimes listed in Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes, Section 13.1 that fall under this statute, including murder, manslaughter, robbery, rape, and arson. This limitation on earning credit towards parole can have a significant impact on the length of the sentence served. If you are facing charges for one of these crimes, it is crucial to consult with an attorney who can help navigate your case and potentially negotiate a plea bargain for a lesser offense.
