Prosecutor appeals get priority and stay

Beginning November 1, 2026, certain prosecutor appeals get priority at the Court of Criminal Appeals. These include appeals of pretrial orders that suppress or exclude evidence and appeals of immunity rulings. The trial court must put the case on hold until the appeal is decided.

Prosecutors can appeal evidence rulings

Beginning November 1, 2026, the State or a municipality can appeal final pretrial orders that suppress or exclude evidence. The appeal goes to the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals. Appeals are allowed when the ruling rests on constitutional grounds or other grounds and review is in the best interests of justice. The same right applies in cases alleging a violation of any part of Section 13.1 of Title 21.
