Guess he figured there wasn't much to see? Well time to move on I suppose.
NewsOK: OU football: Judge rules against releasing copies of Joe Mixon tape
Ryan Aber
A Cleveland County district judge ruled against the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters on Friday in a lawsuit aimed at making the surveillance video in the Joe Mixon case public.
Judge Thad Balkman did grant a request to preserve the copy of the tape.
Mixon, an 18-year-old Oklahoma freshman football player, was charged with acts resulting in gross injury following a July 25 incident at Pickleman's Gourmet Cafe near the OU campus.
In late October, Mixon reached a plea deal in the case, entering an Alford Plea which allows him to maintain his innocence while acknowledging that enough evidence exists for a jury trial to find him guilty.
He was given a one-year deferred sentence, 100 hours of community service and cognitive behavior counseling.
The Norman city attorney, city police and the district attorney's office all refused to make copies of the tape public, despite a recent change in Oklahoma's Open Records Act that mandates that facts concerning the arrest must be made public upon request and that copies should be allowed as well.
