AGGRAVATED ASSAULT (5 teeth knocked out) with 3 PRIOR FELONIES REDUCED to PROBATION with ZERO DAYS in JAIL – State v. Mr. C. (DMC No. 5795) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2005-010008): Mr. C. was at his softball game when things got heated with Mr. C. and the rival pitcher. They ended up getting into a verbal argument and the pitcher bumped Mr. C. in the chest. Mr. C. then punched him in the face and knocked out 5 teeth causing $8,000 in medical bills. Because of his 3 prior felony convictions, this new charge carried a 6 to 15 year prison range with a 10 year presumptive sentence. We raised the issue of self-defense, along with other mitigating factors, and convinced the Prosecutor to extend a probation offer. At sentencing, the Judge imposed zero days in jail.
