A legal dispute is escalating in Tulsa County after an attorney accused the District Attorney’s office of failing to honor an immunity agreement, resulting in her client’s arrest immediately after testifying in a murder trial.
Tulsa attorney Jenny Proehl-Day claims prosecutors granted her client, Kortney Smith, immunity to testify in a murder trial, then arrested him right after he took the stand on Oct. 8.
“What they effectively did yesterday was say our word means nothing. We can promise you this that we are not going to use it against you, but then you turn it around and use it against you and this is the problem with the criminal justice system,” Proehl-Day said.
