Humphrey Asks AG to Launch Grand Jury Investigation into Judicial Matters

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, today asked Oklahoma's attorney general to establish a multi-county grand jury to investigate the Oklahoma judicial system. In his letter, Humphrey referenced a recent federal appeals court ruling that favored a family suing members of the Wagoner County sheriff's office. Jeffrey Krueger died in 2019 after an arrest. His family sued arguing deputies used excessive force during the arrest. The United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit recently ruled the defendants in the lawsuit are not entitled to qualified immunity and the district court's recitation of the facts was incomplete. "Being a former law enforcement officer myself, I am generally going to be on the side of law enforcement," Humphrey said. "But this case deserves much greater scrutiny." Humphrey also referenced a recent Oklahoma Supreme Court public reprimand of Special Judge Emily Mueller. In their rebuke, justices noted violations of the state's Judicial Code of Conduct and found the judge's behavior to be biased, rude, undignified and disrespectful to attorneys and others in and out of her courtroom. "Based on the revelations revealed in these current reviews of our Oklahoma judicial system, I feel that you no longer can avoid calling a multi-county grand jury," Humphrey wrote to the attorney general. "I encourage you to act swiftly in convening a multi-county grand jury to look into these and all other matters." A full copy of the letter can be read here .

Humphrey Calls for Action in DHS Case

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, the vice chair of the House Public Safety Committee, today sent a letter to Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond and Department of Human Services Director Jeffrey Cartmell demanding action in a child protection case that is reported to involve the removal of a child from his biological family and placement with a same-sex couple one of whom was alleged to have been arrested twice on child molestation charges. In the letter, Humphrey references an article by an independent media outlet, in which a child was reportedly taken from his mother who is said to have checked herself into rehab while pregnant. "The mother recognized her addictions and took appropriate steps to ensure the safety of her baby, so Child Protective Services should never have been involved," Humphrey said. "The parents complied with all reunification requirements, yet the Department of Human Services illegally withheld their child from his parents." Humphrey also questioned why the department's policy of placing children with close relatives was not followed. He said the father's brother requested to take the child, appearing to be the perfect placement. "He had his own business, a steady income, stable children, and seemed to meet every other conceivable requirement," he wrote. Humphrey said instead the child was placed with a same-sex couple, one of whom reportedly had previously been indicted by a grand jury for sexual contact with a child under 12. Humphrey calls the action by DHS "kidnapping." He said he's reported a similar case of a child taken from a Johnson County couple. Humphrey said he provided a two-hour hearing revealing evidence of the abuse. He's requested a multi-county grand jury based on numerous reports of corruption, but said he's been ignored by DHS and the attorney general. The full letter can be read here .

Humphrey: 'Department of Corruption Strikes Again'

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, the vice chair of the House Public Safety Committee, today issued the following about the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. "Approximately eight years ago I exposed the murder of an inmate in the custody of the Department of Corrections. Evidence I gathered at the time shows the department likely concealed and suppressed the murder," Humphrey said. "In an effort to investigate and determine if the department is covering up murders, I gathered information on 28 deaths in approximately an eighteen-month period at one prison. Upon obtaining information on the inmate deaths, I contacted the Oklahoma Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) to ascertain how many deaths were homicides or listed as undetermined." Humphrey received information on March 18 from the OCME that shows seven of the deaths he requested information about have been ruled homicide. Four deaths were listed as accidental, one was from natural causes, three were ruled suicides, one was unknown and five are pending a final report. Seven additional names were not found in the OCME database. "I requested the Department of Corrections supply the investigations into these deaths that were listed as homicides," Humphrey said. "I will remind everyone that any person can go to the court and access information into murders. As an elected official, I am obligated to help ensure this department operates as intended. That is why I am completely appalled by the department's response. In an obvious attempt at delay, DOC took well over a month to provide reports on the seven homicides even though the reports were already completed by the OCME. "Why would it take more than a month to provide reports which were already completed? I was told it took the department that long to completely redact the reports. I think the department got itself confused with the CIA and completely blacked out much pertinent information. "Scooby-Doo would say this is a clue, and then he would say, 'Ruh-roh, Raggy! It seems ardently clear the department of corruption has something to hide."
