Looking at just one case, in isolation, is a good way to get bad information about the law.  I'm not sure that this is a case from the highest court in Oklahoma;  if not, the decision could have been reversed on appeal.  You're also citing a docket number, not an official case reporter, so it's not clear that the opinion has been published;  if not, it isn't binding precedent.  And in the area of criminal procedure, especially, a 20-year-old case is often no more than ancient history, even if it is a reported case from the state's highest court.
