State v. Mr. L (DMC No. 9606)

UNLAWFUL DISCHARGE of a FIREARM (Shannon’s Law) REDUCED to Class 6 Open/Misdemeanor with PROBATION and ZERO DAYS in JAIL – State v. Mr. L (DMC No. 9606) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2010-122749): Mr. L was at a friend’s house near 25th street and Boston in Mesa, Arizona. Officers responded to a call regarding shots being fired. They saw Mr. L’s vehicle leaving the scene, and they pulled him and his friend over. They did not read Miranda Rights to either of the passengers, and one passenger stated that Mr. L had fired a gun.

Due to the issue with No Reasonable Suspicion to Stop the vehicle (there was no description on the radio call), lack of Miranda Rights and a potentially Illegal “pat down” Search, we were able to convince the Prosecutor to offer a class 6 open/misdemeanor with Probation and no jail. When Mr. L successfully completed probation, the charge was reduced to a Misdemeanor. He had no felony conviction on his record.

State v. Mr. F (DMC No. 4655)

REDUCED | DISORDERLY CONDUCT with a GUN (dangerous)/DISCHARGE of a FIREARM (Shannon’s Law) REDUCED to a MISDEMEANOR with ZERO DAYS JAIL – State v. Mr. F. (DMC No. 4655) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2004-016563): Mr. F. had gone shooting with friends earlier in the day, and when he got back to his residence he decided he did not want to have a loaded weapon with him.  He fired 11 shots into a tree and neighbors called police.  We were able to show that nobody was placed in danger, and convinced the Prosecutor to reduce charges to a simple misdemeanor with zero days in jail and 6 months of unsupervised probation.  He was originally facing up to 6 years in prison if convicted on both felonies.

State v. Ms. H (DMC No. 6769)

NOT CHARGED | DISORDERLY CONDUCT with a GUN (dangerous)/DISCHARGE of a FIREARM (Shannon’s Law) NOT CHARGED – State v. Ms. H.  (DMC No. 6769) (Gilbert Police Department DR05-000011264): Ms. H. suffered from alcohol and substance abuse addiction, and had drunk and taken prescription medication before he had gone to sleep.  At some time in the night, he woke up and fired shots through the wall of his bedroom.  His roommate called police and they found Mr. H. in a stuporous state, passed out in the bedroom.  After he was arrested, the police routed the case to the County Attorney’s Office to charge him with disorderly conduct “dangerous” and discharge of a weapon under Shannon’s Law.  He was facing potentially up to 3 years in prison under each charge.  We were able to convince the Prosecutor not to file charges due to the fact that Mr. H. had subsequently successfully completed substance abuse treatment and counseling.

State v. Mr. V (DMC No. 5370)

DISCHARGE of GUN/Shannon’s Law (with prior and on probation) REDUCED to PROBATION with 4 MONTHS in JAIL- State v. Mr. V. (DMC No. 5370) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2005-105534): Mr. V. had been drinking all day, and was in his trailer with his wife when he decided to bring his gun out to clean it.  While he had a beer in one hand, and the hammer cocked back on his gun, he spun it around his finger.  The gun discharged and shot a hole through the ceiling of their trailer.  Police were called, and he was charged with a class 6 “dangerous” felony under Shannon’s Law, with a prior conviction while on probation.  He was facing a minimum of 3 years in prison (along with a probation violation) before we had the case reduced to probation and 4 months of jail with work release during the day.

State v. Mr. G (DMC No. 7184)

NOT CHARGED | DISCHARGING A FIREARM – State v. Mr. G. (DMC No.7184): Mr. G. had been accused by his boss of displaying a weapon with a suppressor and firing it into the canal while at a construction job site. He had been terminated from the job site after the police report was made. We were able to show that his boss did not actually witness any of the allegations, and probably made up the accusations in order to have a reason to fire Mr. G. No charges were ever brought against him.

Mr. R. vs. Mr. M (DMC No.)

(Pinal County Superior Court No. CV200601737): Mr. M. was in a dispute with his neighbor. Mr. M. was facing criminal charges for discharging a firearm in his backyard. The neighbor then filed an Injunction Against Harassment, and we were able to get that Injunction dismissed. This was important because had it not been dismissed, Mr. M. would have been at risk to have his neighbor call the police at any time he wished, thereby causing Mr. M. to go to jail.
