Colleen McCarty — The Colony OK journalist
Contributor

I’m an Oklahoma attorney whose work has crossed litigation, prosecution, defense, public policy, nonprofit leadership, and legal reform. My practice and writing focus particularly on how legal institutions exercise power, make decisions, and serve the public. I’ve worked inside prosecutors’ offices, represented defendants and civil litigants, led statewide justice-policy work, and helped develop and advocate for significant criminal-justice legislation.
