There are no witnesses, jurors or new evidence in a case heard before the Oklahoma appellate courts and their decisions are final. There are nine judges in the Oklahoma Supreme Court. The Criminal Court of Appeals, which is the last resort court for all criminal appeals, has five judges. The Civil Court of Appeals has 12 judges in Oklahoma.
