I want to get my hands on a full transcript of a case I am loosly connected to. I would be satisfied to go read it somewhere if that would work too... I have been told that in orde to get a transcript it will cost me upwards of $1000 - does anyone know for certain how this works, or any way to see a transcript? Is there any other way to obtain one? (Also just FYI I am in Oklahoma)

also- currently there might not be one- however it is a death penalty case so one is most certain to appear for appeals purposes

Go to the Clerk of the Court, civil or criminal, circuit court or county court, for instance, and ask them how you can look at the file. Some courthouses have a file room. If the file is not "sealed" you may view it. If a transcript has been prepared in the case, it will be in the file. If the case is old it may be archived and it can either be ordered out of storage or viewed on microfiche. Most courthouses charge a fee per page for copies or you may possibly obtain a copy from the court reporter if one was present, but there is a charge per page.

First thing is to find out if a transcript exists yet.
If the case is not being appealed, there probably isn't one. In the majority of cases the court reporters tape is never transcribed. If you want a transcript, you have to pay the whole cost of a court reporter typing it up, and it can be expensive.
If there "is" a transcript already, then all you need is a copy, which is a lot cheaper.

Transcripts are not printed up until someone orders one and pays for it. A court reporter uses a steno machine. In many places, the steno machine is connected to a computer which does a rough translation, but that is not the official version. When an official transcript is required for an appeal, the appealing party pays for the court reporter to review, edit, finalize and certify the transcript.
Until then, there's nothing to see.

Once a trial has concluded, and a final decision and/or sentencing made, the complete trial transcript becomes a matter of public record. If you have the case number (this makes it a lot easier to reference), simply go to the county clerk's office and for a small fee you can request a copy of the transcript.

Very interesting... I dunno but I will follow up on your question to find out. I live in Oklahoma too!
I know they are recorded in short hand, so you probably have to wait for them to type it out...
Question being who is "them." Well, hearings are generally open for the public to attend, but I'm not sure about to obtain the transcript to.
I would call you're county court clerk, court house or a lawyer.

That's pretty funny. & You're smart for being only 12. If you think about it, you could be helping someone else.. by scaring the crap out of these people, I know they'll think twice before doing it again & so you may be saving someone else.
