Oklahoma Certification of Appeal Rights is a document issued by the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals that outlines the rights and procedures of criminal defendants who wish to appeal their conviction. This document is designed to inform the defendant of their rights, the available options for appeal, and the necessary steps for filing an appeal. It is important to note that the Oklahoma Certification of Appeal Rights must be issued by the court before the appeal can be filed. There are two types of Oklahoma Certification of Appeal Rights: Direct Appeal and Post-Conviction Appeal. Direct Appeal is when a defendant appeals their conviction directly to the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals. Post-Conviction Appeal is when a defendant files an appeal after their conviction has been finalized. Both types of appeals must be filed within a certain time frame and in accordance with the rules outlined in the Oklahoma Certification of Appeal Rights.
