REDUCED | SALE OF COUNTERFEIT MERCHANDISE – State v. Mr. and Mrs. C. (Maricopa County Superior Court No.: 2002-015703CR) Mr. and Mrs. C. were accused of selling over 2,000 items of counterfeit merchandise (mainly Nike products) from their store. Although they were facing numerous years in prison, we were able to work with the prosecutor in the case and demonstrate a possible defense as to knowledge of all of the counterfeit items. Eventually the case was reduced to a non-designated felony (which means it became a misdemeanor after probation). Mr. and Mr. C. were placed on 2 years probation and received no jail.
