Oklahoma prosecutors propose eliminating mandatory minimums
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma - Oklahoma state prosecutors proposed some sweeping reforms to the Oklahoma state's felony sentencing guidelines Thursday during a meeting of the Oklahoma Sentencing Commission.
Rob Wallace, the president of the District Attorneys Council, said DAs in Oklahoma have agreed to support the elimination of mandatory minimum sentences for all crimes in Oklahoma, with the exception of those for violent crimes or habitual offenders.
In exchange for agreeing to eliminate mandatory minimums, Wallace said prosecutors want manufacturing and trafficking drugs, as well as marijuana cultivation, considered violent crimes and an increase in funding for drug courts.
"We know that people in the business of making drugs are violent people," said Wallace, the district attorney for Latimer and LeFlore counties in southeastern Oklahoma. "These are not non-violent crimes."
With the rise in the number of people charged with manufacturing methamphetamine in Oklahoma, a number of commission members expressed concern about making the offense a violent crime. Commissioner Ged Wright, a former state senator, said many of those caught manufacturing meth are simply users trying to support their habit. By convicting them of a violent crime, those offenders would automatically become ineligible for certain diversionary sanctions, such as drug courts, Wright said.
"Isn't this just a vicious cycle we're creating?" Wright asked.
Wallace admitted that while most meth manufacturers in Oklahoma are not large-scale producers simply making drugs for profit, he said they still pose a dangerous threat to the community and typically involve others in their drug manufacturing network.
"You cross a line when you go from (drug) user to producer," Wallace said, "and we ought to punish them for manufacturing if they cross that line.
"A 'Beavis and Butthead' lab is not just Beavis and Butthead," he continued. "It's all their friends in the neighborhood."
Wallace said prosecutors have also agreed to allow drug court, community sentencing or probation for simple drug possession, provided the offender pleads guilty and has no previous convictions for violent crimes.
In exchange for some of these concessions from prosecutors, Wallace said district attorneys want increased funding and additional personnel for drug courts. His proposal included the addition of 29 new prosecutors - one for each district attorney and two each for Tulsa and Oklahoma counties - dedicated to the drug court docket.
"If we're going to say diversion is what we're going to do, we have to look at up-front funding," Wallace said.
Wallace also pointed out these significant sentencing reforms come with a political risk for district attorneys, who are elected to office.
"We do this to ourselves with substantial peril to us politically," he said.
Another danger to eliminating mandatory minimums and automatic probation or drug court for drug possession, Wallace said, is that prosecutors might lose the threat of serious prison time that often forces offenders to adhere to their sanctions.
"We need to make sure the hammer we have to hold over them to propel them to get clean and sober ... remains a sufficient one," he said.
Rep. Lucky Lamons, a former Tulsa police officer, applauded Wallace and the district attorneys for bringing forth their proposal, but said he thought Tulsa and Oklahoma City should be assigned more than just two additional personnel to handle drug courts.
"There isn't the same amount of drugs in my county as there is in your two," said Lamons, D-Tulsa.
Sen. Dick Wilkerson, another member of the commission and former law enforcement officer, questioned the wisdom of maintaining the seven-year mandatory minimum for manufacturing drugs. He also said statistics that show many Oklahoma prisoners are locked up for simple possession are often misleading. He said most people in prison for possession are there because they agreed to plead down from an original charge of manufacturing or dealing.
"They are in there (for possession) because they pled down from distribution," Wilkerson said. "I would like to see some truth in charging.
"What minimum sentences do is give you a bigger bargaining chip when you sit down at the table to negotiate."
K.C. Moon, the director of the Criminal Justice Resource Center, said he was surprised to see the district attorneys propose such sweeping sentencing reform.
"I didn't expect anything that bold," Moon said. "I didn't think they could find consensus, especially when you're talking about 27 elected officials from different parties and different criminal justice philosophies."
The next meeting of the Sentencing Commission will be held at 11 a.m. on Jan. 15, when the group is expected to finalize its recommendations to the Legislature.
