NOT GUILTY/COMPLETE ACQUITTAL at BENCH TRIAL: FELONY AGGRAVATED ASSAULT- State v. Ms. A (DMC No. 8152) Jul. 30, 2008 (Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR2007-008596): Ms. A was brought into an emergency room with an ongoing medical condition. She was on multiple medications and as she was coming back to consciousness, a Nurse began to hold her down in order to take some measurements. Ms. A began flailing and kicked the Nurse in the chest, causing injury. Because the Nurse was a medical professional, and she felt an Assault had occurred, Ms. A was charged with a felony.

At trial we presented medical evidence showing that Ms. A had a neurological condition. We also showed that she goes into seizures which can cause convulsions. This evidence, along with her testimony about her disoriented state, helped provide enough proof that the Judge found Ms. A Not Guilty of all charges.
