REDUCED | AGGRAVATED ASSAULT with a KNIFE (DANGEROUS CRIME AGAINST CHILDREN) REDUCED to PROBATION with ZERO DAYS in JAIL – State v. Mr. B. (DMC No. 6123) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2005-048833): Mr. B. had been drinking at a local bar with his wife before they were walking home. She was in front of him about 100 feet, when a 14 year old juvenile jumped in front of his wife while goofing around with a friend. His wife became startled and jumped into the street and was almost struck by a car. Mr. B. ran up with a knife and threatened the juvenile’s for “jumping out of the shadows to scare my wife”. He was subsequently charged with Aggravated Assault with a Knife, a Dangerous Crime Against Children, and was facing a minimum of 10 plus year in prison. We were able to convince the Prosecutor to reduce the crime to probation, and we convince the Judge to impose zero days in jail.
