According to Oklahoma law, who can be deemed incapable of knowing a crime is wrong?

In Oklahoma law, individuals who are between the ages of 7 and 14 can be deemed incapable of understanding the wrongfulness of their actions unless there is proof that they have the ability to know that a crime is wrong. This legal principle is known as the "age of criminal responsibility," which provides a safeguard for children who may not fully comprehend the consequences of their actions due to their young age.

The law recognizes that children in this age group may not possess the maturity or cognitive ability to understand the moral implications of their behavior, thus making it inappropriate to hold them to the same criminal standards as adults. The requirement for proof implies that there may be cases where a child in this age range could be found capable of understanding right from wrong, but this must be demonstrated rather than assumed.

This consideration allows the legal system to account for developmental differences in children and is a critical aspect of juvenile justice.
