    Oklahoma tribes disagree with state Supreme Court ruling on liability

    Tulsa, Oklahoma (AP)

    Some tribes that operate casinos in Oklahoma disagree with an Oklahoma Supreme Court ruling in a lawsuit against a tribe that claims a woman’s injuries were caused when an intoxicated casino patron crashed into her.

    By a 7-2 vote during February, the Supreme Court overturned previous rulings by a Pottawatomie County district judge and the Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals. Both of the lower courts had dismissed the case based on tribal sovereign immunity.
