Aaron Easton Featured in News On 6 on Oklahoma Medical Parole Case

Attorney Aaron Easton was featured in a recent News On 6 story about the ongoing medical parole dispute involving James Havens, an Oklahoma inmate with terminal cancer who remains hospitalized.

In the story, Easton said Havens qualifies under Oklahoma’s medical parole law and should be placed before the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board for consideration. He argued that the Oklahoma Department of Corrections is not following the law by refusing to move the case forward.

Easton also emphasized the broader issue raised by the case: if someone in Havens’ condition does not qualify for medical parole, it raises serious questions about how Oklahoma’s compassionate release statute is being applied.

Easton is representing Havens alongside co-counsel Christopher Garinger as they continue to challenge the state’s handling of the case.
