The scumbag McGirt won. The Supreme Court ruled that the state of OK did not have the right to prosecute McGirt because he committed his crimes on Native American Land (specifically the Creek Nation Territory); only the tribal court or federal court has the authority to prosecute. The funny thing is, the scumbag McGirt could be retried under the Creek Nation court and still be convicted, which he will be. He sexually abused his step granddaughter daily and is/was serving a 500 year sentence. The SC basically vacated his conviction with their decision.
That is a good article to summarize. The McGirt case involved the Creek Nation Territory only. Basically the Supreme Court said the state cannot prosecute Native Americans committing crimes in the Creek Nation. Like the article said, there could be 4000 appeals from incarcerated criminals based on the McGirt decision. Imagine if only half of those convictions are vacated; or even 10 percent!!!!
Also, like the article said, the other Indian Territories in Oklahoma expect to follow suit. Also, like the article said, every Indian Nation in the USA could follow suit.
Here is a map of the tribal territories in OK. Imagine every incarcerated criminal with a fraction of indian blood appealing their conviction!!!!:
