Aaron Easton Featured in FOX 25 on Oklahoma Medical Parole Case

Attorney Aaron Easton was featured in a FOX 25 News story regarding the medical parole request of James Havens, a 73-year-old Oklahoma inmate who remains hospitalized with terminal cancer.

In the story, Easton stated that Havens meets the criteria for medical parole under Oklahoma law but has not been granted release. He argued that the Oklahoma Department of Corrections is not following the state’s compassionate release statute, pointing to changes in the process that have delayed or prevented approval.

Easton also highlighted that Havens had already received support from medical and facility leadership, but additional administrative steps blocked the outcome. He emphasized that the law was designed to address cases like this and raised concerns about how the process is being applied statewide.

Easton is representing Havens alongside co-counsel Christopher Garinger as they continue to pursue legal action, including an appeal to the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
