The Oklahoma Supreme Court has ruled state broadcasters can proceed under the Open Records Act to get a surveillance video of Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon punching another student.

Justices ruled in favor of the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters on a technical point, rather than the association's original legal arguments. The Supreme Court, in effect, found the video is an open record because a judge watched it during a court hearing last year.

The judge had ruled in February that the video was not part of the official court record. In a one-page order Monday, the Supreme Court specifically overturned that ruling and allowed the broadcasters association to proceed in its request for access "in accordance with the Open Records Act."

The broadcasters association on Wednesday sent a letter to the Cleveland County court clerk, for the second time, asking for a copy of the video.
