3 to be free
Last month, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the Oklahoma law that barred nonresidents from circulating petitions, thereby overturning the convictions of Paul Jacob, Rick Carpenter and Susan Johnson, often described as the Oklahoma 3, proponents of the so-called Taxpayer Bill of Rights. (This is the section being struck.)
Attorney General Drew Edmondson, having been rebuffed in his effort to get a rehearing at the 10th Circuit, has now announced that the state will not appeal the decision to the Supreme Court, and that charges against Jacob, Carpenter and Johnson will be duly dropped.
