§ 781 Witness out of state.

If you're facing a criminal charge and the case has reached the point where both sides disagree on the facts, you have the right to get testimony from important witnesses even if they live outside Oklahoma. This means you're not limited to only using witnesses who live in the state. You can reach out to people who have information that could help your defense, no matter where they live.

However, there's a catch. You can only get this out-of-state testimony by following the specific steps and procedures laid out in this same section of the law. You can't just call the witness on the phone or send someone to talk to them informally. The law sets up a formal process you have to use, and that process is the only way this kind of testimony is allowed to count in your case.
