How a case moves here
Duncan follows Oklahoma law on arrests, release, and courts; the full set covers prosecutors, defense, and jails too.
- Who decides release first
Before a person sees a judge, the jail may release on a bail schedule the district's presiding judge sets by order, and the sheriff may sign the release order where court rule allows. A judge sets or confirms bail at the first appearance or when charges are filed. Police and sheriffs may not release anyone arrested for domestic abuse, stalking, harassment, or a protective order violation until a judge sees them.
22 O.S. sec. 110522 O.S. sec. 1105.2 (in force until 2026-12-31)- Time to see a judge
A person arrested must be taken before a magistrate without unnecessary delay. Oklahoma statute sets no hour limit.
22 O.S. sec. 181- Money bail
Oklahoma allows money bail, and each judicial district may adopt a money bail schedule that it reviews every year. Pretrial bail is set as a dollar amount.
22 O.S. sec. 1105.2 (in force until 2026-12-31)
Read from the statutes and court rules cited, 2026-09-30. Some of this is medium confidence and still being checked. SB 1618 (2026) rewrites 22 O.S. 1105.2 from 2027-01-01; recheck first_bail, money_bail, and pretrial_assessment then. Whether the Oklahoma County jail trust has been dissolved was not confirmed. Oklahoma's district court is a single general trial court; only municipal courts sit below it.
