State v. Mr. H (DMC No.7301)

DISMISSED – Disorderly Conduct, State v. Mr. H. (DMC No.7301) (Surprise Municipal Court No. CR07-00386): Some neighbors had called regarding Mr. H. riding around on a recreational vehicle in a reckless manner up and down the neighborhood streets. When police arrived, they saw Mr. H. arguing with his neighbor. Mr. H. then walked to the back yard and began punching a shed and then arcadia door with his bare fist. His knuckles were bleeding and he appeared to be intoxicated. He was subsequently arrested and charged with Disorderly Conduct. We were able to convince the prosecutor that a person cannot be disorderly in their own backyard with their own property without other neighbor’s peace and quiet being disturbed. The State agreed and all charges were dismissed.

State v. Mr. H (DMC No. 7313)

REDUCED to Misdemeanor – Felony Aggravated Assault, State v. Mr. H. (DMC No. 7313) (Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR2007-119793): Mr. H. was seen driving erratically through a neighborhood and throwing an item from his window. When officers stopped him, they realized that Mr. H. was delivering newspapers with his son. When an argument ensued, the officer stated that he was going to write Mr. H. a traffic ticket. Mr. H. got out of his vehicle to discuss this with the officer, and he was subsequently thrown to the ground and charged with Aggravated Assault on a Police Officer. We were able to show how outrageous the officer’s conduct was, and the State agreed to offer a Misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct charge. Mr. H. took the plea in order to avoid the felony and to keep his employment.

(DMC No.7243) (Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR 2006-XXXXXX): Mr. B. was a teacher at a local elementary school and was accused by a student of fondling her breast over her clothes. We had Mr. B. take a polygraph test, which he passed. In addition, there were no other witnesses to corroborate these allegations. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office still insisted on proceeding to Grand Jury, however there was no indictment returned. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office then made a Motion to the Court to release the findings of the Grand Jury (which is necessary in order to discuss Grand Jury findings), and that Motion was granted. Even though Mr. B. was not indicted, he was still forced to resign his position. He was initially facing years in prison, but ended up with no charges being filed.

State v. Mr. H (DMC No.)

CONVICTION SET ASIDE | AGGRAVATED ASSAULT

State v. Mr. H. (Maricopa County Superior Court No. 2001-090140): Approximately six years earlier, Mr. H. was suffering from a bi-polar disorder. Police were called to a disturbance, in which he engaged in a physical altercation and was convicted of Aggravated Assault on a Minor.
