An Oklahoma pastor is battling the courts and now the district attorney.Oklahoma County’s district attorney is trying to put a stop to a court ruling. Pastor Derrick Scobey’s attorney said it is an unprecedented case. The state wants this to slow down, but his attorney wants to keep proving the point that he’s innocent."We believe that Pastor Scobey has committed in no way, shape or form any criminal act," said Joe White, attorney at White & Weddle Law.Scobey’s lawyer is looking to dismiss charges against him after he was arrested last November for attempting to pray in the street outside the governor’s mansion for the then-death row inmate Julius Jones.White said there is not enough evidence to convict his client."We are pursuing a factually based evidentiary hearing supporting our motion to quash, that in fact, under any set of circumstances, there was not a crime committed," White said.Now, the state is trying to stop the process by filing an emergency stay."That court system down there is busy with serious crimes that people are accused of, not this stuff," White said.Scobey faces misdemeanor charges of obstructing a roadway and refusing to comply with a lawful order. He said he was simply trying to pray.KOCO 5 has reached out to District Attorney David Prater, but we were told he is out until next week. As for Scobey, his next court appearance is Aug. 18 unless something changes.
