DISMISSED TWICE | ASSAULT – State v. Mr. V. (DMC No. 4932) (West Mesa Justice Court CR03-00477MI/McDowell Mountain Justice Court CR05-00036MI): Mr. V. was charged with assault and it was improperly placed in the West Mesa Justice Court. We argued a jurisdictional defect and the case was dismissed. The State waited beyond 1 year and re-filed the charge in the McDowell Mountain Justice Court’s jurisdiction. We argued that the Statute of Limitations (a 1 year time limit) had run, and the case was dismissed in its entirety.
