The Oklahoma Supreme Court granted Attorney General Susan
Loving's request to convene a new multicounty grand jury
Thursday, but three justices disagreed with the scope of the
investigation.
The order, signed by Chief Justice Ralph Hodges and four other
justices, sets March 22 as the date for convening of the grand
jury and empowers it to investigate crimes in all 77 counties.
It named retired District Judge Donald Powers to preside over
the grand jury. Powers presided over the three previous
multicounty grand juries, including the one that investigated the
campaign of Gov. David Walters for 18 months.
