(Peoria Municipal Court No. 0105878CR): Mr. P. was stopped by Arizona DPS for a minor traffic infraction. Subsequently, he was processed for DUI and he requested to call an attorney. We filed a Motion to Dismiss based upon denial of right to Counsel, and held an Evidentiary Hearing before the Peoria Justice of the Peace. The Judge ruled against us, but because the tape of the proceeding was lost, we were entitled to a “Trial De Novo” in the Superior Court. When the time for the trial came, the State was adequately prepared and the Superior Court Judge dismissed all charges.
