Okla. Stat. tit. 22, § 22-840: Discharge of defendant that he may testify for

codefendant.

When two or more persons are included in the same indictment or

information, and the court is of opinion that in regard to a

particular defendant there is not sufficient evidence to put him on

his defense, it must, before the evidence is closed, in order that

he may be compelled to be a witness for his codefendant, submit its

opinion to the jury, who, if they so find, may acquit the particular

defendant for the purpose aforesaid.
