CONVICTION REVERSED | DISORDERLY CONDUCT – State v. Ms. K. (Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR2006-006624): Ms. K. had previously been convicted in the Mesa Municipal Court for an alleged Disorderly Conduct/Domestic Violence. After we obtained the case and went through the trial record, we were able to show that the prosecutor inappropriately changed the theory of the case in the middle of trial and improperly amended the charges. The judge erroneously allowed the prosecutor to do this. We were able to show the Superior Court Appellate judge that this was improper, and that judge ruled in our favor and dismissed all charges.
