History
In 1999, Patrick Dwayne Murphy stabbed George Jacobs and left him to die on the side of the road. Both men were members of the Muscogee Nation.[2][3] Murphy's public defender, Lisa McCalmont, argued that the murder took place on Muscogee land, which meant that the State of Oklahoma did not have jurisdiction over the case.
