2 COUNTS AGGRAVATED ASSAULT DANGEROUS (shot victim two times) REDUCED to PROBATION with 6 MONTHS of DEFERRED JAIL – State v. Ms. L. (DMC No. 7484) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2007-120124): Ms. L. and her children’s father were having an argument, when she retrieved a gun and went outside of her residence. The children’s’ father then came out, and a struggled ensued in which he was shot twice. Because the baby’s father had a history of domestic violence, and due to the fact that he gave inconsistent statements, we were able to secure an offer from the Prosecutors Office to probation. We ultimately convinced the judge to defer the 6 months jail term that was imposed, and when Ms. L. successfully completed probation she was not required to do any jail time. She was originally facing 10 to 30 years in prison if she was convicted on both charges.
