State v. Ms. P (DMC No. 7150)

REDUCED | Vehicular Aggravated Assault, State v. Ms. P. (DMC No. 7150) (Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR2007-006244): Ms. P. was involved in a traffic accident which resulted in 3 Counts of Aggravated Assault Dangerous, and 2 Counts of Endangerment Dangerous. One victim had a broken back, and another victim was ejected from her car, suffering vertebrae injuries. The victim’s vehicle appeared to have been speeding and may have cut off Mr. P. Because Ms. P. had been drinking alcohol, the police drew blood which resulted in a .095 BAC. She was subsequently charged with numerous charges which could have resulted in over 50 years in prison. Even though the initial offers started at 5 years in prison and came down to 2.5 years, we were able to conduct a Settlement Conference and ultimately secured an offer of probation with 6 months of jail with work furlough.

State v. Mr. B (DMC No. 7131)

FIRST DEGREE MURDER (2 Counts) REDUCED to Second Degree Murder – State v. Mr. B. (DMC No. 7131) (Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR2005-141941): Mr. B. and 2 others went to the home of a methamphetamine dealer and his girlfriend under the rouse of borrowing some items. Once they were there, they robbed the 2 victims at gunpoint and shot them. Although Mr. B. was initially facing the Death Penalty, we were able to convince the State to not seek death with our first degree murder defense. We were also able to raise some defenses in the case which resulted in securing a plea to 2 Counts of Second Degree Murder with a sentence of 13 years on each count. Although Mr. B. admitted to being the shooter and firing 12 rounds of ammunition, there were still some significant questions as to the reliability of his confession. Even without death being on the table, most people convicted in Arizona of a double homicide are given a minimum of a natural life sentence, whereas Mr. B. will be free at age 44.

DISMISSED | Solicitation of Burglary, State v. Mr. C. (DMC No.7244) (University Lakes Justice Court No. JC2007-115374): Mr. C. was an ASU student. While returning from class with a friend they sighted a golf course cart on ASU’s campus. Mr. C. acted as a lookout while his friend stole various items from the golf cart.

In addition, this would potentially have caused him to be thrown out of his dorm room by the University. Ultimately, were able to convince the State to dismiss charges “in the interests of justice.”

REDUCED to Misdemeanor Endangerment – Child Abuse, State v. Mr. B.
