MISCONDUCT INVOLVING a WEAPON (prohibited possessor) with 2 PRIORS REDUCED to PROBATION with ZERO DAY JAIL – State v. Mr. Z. (DMC No. 6472) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2005-139036): Mr. Z. had been contacted by police when a call came in that he was threatening to commit suicide. When police contacted him, he was found in a bedroom with several rifles and guns located against the wall. He was immediately taken into custody and invoked his right to counsel. He was subsequently charged with a class 4 “misconduct involving weapons” with 2 priors, which meant he was facing 6 to 15 years in prison. We were able to conduct mitigation and have the case reduced to probation with no allegation of prior convictions. At sentencing, we put on a Mitigation Hearing and the Judge agreed to give zero day’s jail to Mr. Z.
