State Case Dismissed For 14-Year-Old Accused In Double Fatal Tulsa Pursuit, Crash​


TULSA, Oklahoma -
A 14-year-old boy charged with stealing a truck, running from troopers and killing an innocent mother and daughter in a crash, has had his case dismissed in state court.
Elias Gonzales is a member of a recognized tribe, so the state doesn't have jurisdiction to prosecute him.
Tulsa County prosecutors charged Gonzales as an adult with first-degree murder. The federal government will have to pick up the case, but they will have to get special permission from the tribe in order to prosecute Gonzales, because he is a minor.

The tribe must grant permission? Amazing the hoops simply to enforce law and order.
