State v. Mr. B (DMC No.7243)

NOT CHARGED | CHILD MOLESTATION & KIDNAPPING – State v. Mr. B. (DMC No.7243) (Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR 2006-XXXXXX): Mr. B. was a teacher at a local elementary school and was accused by a student of fondling her breast over her clothes. We had Mr. B. take a polygraph test, which he passed. In addition, there were no other witnesses to corroborate these allegations. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office still insisted on proceeding to Grand Jury, however there was no indictment returned. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office then made a Motion to the Court to release the findings of the Grand Jury (which is necessary in order to discuss Grand Jury findings), and that Motion was granted. Even though Mr. B. was not indicted, he was still forced to resign his position. He was initially facing years in prison, but ended up with no charges being filed.

State v. Mr. W (DMC No.7266)

NOT CHARGED | CHILD MOLESTATION –  State v. Mr. W. (DMC No.7266) (Pinal County Sheriff’s Office): Mr. W. was a teacher for Special Education students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. He was accused of improperly touching a student, and was put on Administrative Leave. We were able to show that the actual incident involved a 12-year old student who kept falling asleep in class. When Mr. W. went up to her and rubbed her back in order to wake her (with 30 other students in the room), she woke up and claimed that her bra strap had become undone. She then retracted some other allegations she had made against Mr. W. and no charges were brought against him. In addition, he had no adverse record placed on his teaching license. Lastly, he then transferred to teach at a local high school and was paid for all of the time he had been placed on Administrative Leave.

State v. Mr. S. (DMC No. 7292)

REDUCED | Child Molestation, State v. Mr. S. (DMC #7292) (Gila County Superior Court No. CR2007-0195): Mr. S. was 16 years old and was accused of trying to fondle an 11 year old and a 9 year old while on various field trips with a counseling group for disturbed teenagers. Although Mr. S. was only 16, he was charged as an adult. Because he was charged with 2 Counts of Child Molestation, he was facing a minimum of 20 years in prison. We were able to show that he had a disturbed mental state, and had a high level of mitigation and family support. We ultimately were able to reduce the initial plea from 10 years in prison to probation with 1 year in jail.

State v. Mr. H. (DMC No.7214)

DISMISSED | Criminal Speeding, State v. Mr. H. (DMC No.7214) (Scottsdale City Court No. TR-2007008327): Mr. H. was seen driving by an officer doing 71 mph in a 40 mph zone. It was a Saturday morning and no other people were on the roadway. Because Mr. H. could not afford to have a criminal conviction, it was very important to try to have the case reduced to a civil ticket. We were able to negotiate for Traffic Survival School in exchange for a dismissal of the charge, thereby saving Mr. H.’s license.
