REDUCED | 11 COUNTS of ACQUISITION of a NARCOTIC DRUG/FACILITATION of ACQUISITION of NARCOTIC DRUG REDUCED to PROBATION with ZERO DAYS in JAIL – State v. Mr. Z. (DMC No. 11158) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2012-124987): Mr. Z. was accused of taking a prescription pad that belonged to his wife (a Doctor), and using it to write prescriptions to himself for the drug known as “Norco”.  We were able to show that Mr. Z. had become addicted to this drug, and had subsequently enrolled in a treatment program and was no longer using this substance.  Along with a Mitigation Expert, we convinced the Prosecutor to offer a mere Facilitation charge, which included probation and no jail time.  Mr. Z. was originally facing multiple years in prison.
