According to court filings posted on Friday, Tulsa County District Judge Caroline Wall granted City of Tulsa attorneys’ motion to dismiss the case with prejudice, meaning the case can’t be refiled.

“Upon hearing the arguments of counsel and considering the briefs filed by counsel for plaintiffs and counsel for defendants the court respectfully finds and order the plaintiffs’ second amended petition should and shall be dismissed with prejudice,” Judge Wall wrote.

The stinging defeat for survivors of one of the most violent racial domestic terrorist attacks against the wealthiest Black community in U.S. history reverberates across Black America. Many were hopeful that a win in Tulsa would set a precedent for other communities harmed by white supremacy.


I’ve been following this closely. This is a huge loss but it’s expected. This would have opened the door for other lawsuits across the country for reparations.

Another case of "Cacs don’t respond to “asking”. @Jazzy B. :francis:
No. This was a case of the plaintiffs' legal team NOT asking for specific terms of compensation......​

Attorneys for the city of Tulsa had argued that the case should be dismissed because the lawsuit didn’t lay out how Judge Wall should remedy the harm. Meanwhile, attorneys for Justice for Greenwood argued that state law doesn’t require them to provide those answers before a trial has even begun.

Basically, they wanted the judge to figure it out with no guidelines as far as I can discern from the linked article. Maybe an actual lawyer/legal professional can give more insight, but that's what I get from it.​
