Humphrey Issues Statement About Glossip Records' Request

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, today issued the following statement regarding an Open Records lawsuit involving the Richard Glossip case. Humphrey and former Rep. Kevin McDugle filed the lawsuit against Tulsa County District Attorney Steven Kunzweiler on May 12 in Tulsa County District Court. "This Open Records Act lawsuit seeks production of records we believe have been improperly withheld by Tulsa County District Attorney Steven Kunzweiler. Our requests relate to communications and records involving the Richard Glossip case, the District Attorneys Council, and the role of current and former public officials using their public offices to oppose the Attorney General’s confession of past prosecutorial misconduct before the United States Supreme Court. "District Attorney Kunzweiler recently stated that 'Prosecutors are ministers of justice. We’re gatekeepers. If we misused the law for personal or political gain, we undermine the system.' These principles are precisely why public transparency is so important when elected prosecutors take positions in matters of extraordinary public consequence, especially in a death penalty case. "Records show that District Attorney Kunzweiler and multiple district attorneys, mobilized to intervene and advocate for the execution of Richard Glossip even in the face of prosecutorial misconduct. The United States Supreme Court ultimately rejected DA Kunzweiler’s and his fellow DA’s position and vacated Mr. Glossip’s conviction and death sentence, holding he was entitled to a new trial. The state is now prosecuting Mr. Glossip for a third time, and the public has a legitimate interest in understanding the role public officials and public agencies played and continue to play in those decisions. "This lawsuit is about access to public records, transparency by elected officials like District Attorney Kunzweiler, and accountability. Oklahomans are entitled to know how their elected officials use public offices, public resources, and public authority in cases involving the death penalty, prosecutorial misconduct, and the administration of justice. "We will continue to pursue transparency and accountability through the legal process."

Eaves, Humphrey Respond to Area Tornado Damage

OKLAHOMA CITY – Reps. Ryan Eaves, R-Atoka, and Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, today responded to reports of a likely tornado that damaged homes and property in Atoka and Pushmataha counties, specifically in the communities of Bentley and Caney as well as an area at Sawmill Road south of Lane. The National Weather Service was surveying damage Wednesday after severe weather moved through the area on Tuesday. "We're thankful to have no reports of death or serious injury from these storms," the lawmakers said in a joint statement. "Still, we understand people suffered damage to their homes and other property, and some are without power. We're working with local and state officials to make sure everyone has what they need to recover." Both lawmakers were in Oklahoma City for the legislative session when they got news of the storms that included a possible tornado, strong winds, heavy rain and hail.

Humphrey Pushes for Legislation to Extend Health Liability Claims

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, on Tuesday spoke at a rally at the State Capitol about his bill that would remove federal liability shields for claims such as COVID vaccine injuries, among others. House Bill 3119 would extend the period of time for people to file health care liability claims based on a good faith belief that a federal procedural bar was in place when a cause of action arose. Supporters of the bill say it would restore patients' constitutional rights to remedy and protect their right to bodily autonomy. The bill has not been heard in a House committee. "Why have COVID victims not been allowed to go back and pursue relief through the courts?" Humphrey asked. "This bill would allow people who believe they were harmed during medical treatment to go back and file civil liability claims against those that were either negligent or who practiced medical malpractice, had a lack of informed consent or committed medical battery." Humphrey said while the bill isn't limited to COVID, it was a big reason for him filing the measure. Humphrey said he worked with several people who documented what happened to their loved ones while they were undergoing medical treatment. He also held an interim study in October 2024, to which he invited speakers from various states to speak about their experiences during treatment for COVID. "This tells me the public wants this legislation and wants this bill to be heard," Humphrey said. HB3119 would specify that a good faith belief exists when a claimant or attorney could reasonably conclude, based on existing federal declarations, amendments, advisory opinions or judicial interpretations, that the federal liability immunity provisions applied to the alleged conduct. Federal procedural bar includes federal liability immunity provisions provided in the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act in U.S. statute. HB3119 would extend the good faith belief that a federal procedural bar was in place when a cause of action for health care liability claims arose to one year after the good faith belief no longer existed. The bill would apply to all such actions occurring on or after Feb. 1, 2020. The legislation also would ensure Oklahoma courts retain jurisdiction over claims that, but for temporary legal impediment or reasonable misperception of federal preemption, would have been timely filed.
