The U.S. Supreme Court hears oral arguments in Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta, No. 21-429, on April 27, 2022.
At issue is whether the state of Oklahoma can prosecute non-Indians who commit crimes against Indians in Indian Country. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals ruled that jurisdiction lies with the federal government.
The hearing lasted about 2 hours and 12 minutes, far longer than the 70 minutes allotted by the Supreme Court.
The hearing concluded with a tribute to Justice Stephen G. Breyer, who is stepping down at the end of the court's current session.
