State vs. Ms. S (DMC No. 9987)

State vs. Ms. S. (DMC No. 9987) (Glendale City Court No. CR2011-010216): Ms. S. was arguing with her husband of 20 years, when he shut the bedroom door.  When she attempted to get inside of the bedroom, Mr. S. opened the door rapidly and the two collided with each other and fell to the floor.  Two older children became upset and entered the room.  At that time Ms. S. called police and they arrived to take statements.  Because Ms. S. was a United States citizen from Lybia, she had an accent and her English was broken, the police decided to arrest her and charge her with disorderly conduct.  We were able to convince the prosecutor that this was not a true Disorderly Conduct but merely an accident and the argument got somewhat out of hand.  All charges were Dismissed against Ms. S.

State v. Mr. C. (DMC No. 10243)

NOT CHARGED | SOLICITATION OF PROSTITUTION – State v. Mr. C. (DMC No. 10243) (Phoenix PD Investigated): Mr. C. was flagged down by an undercover female Police Officer posing as a prostitute.  When she met with him, she was wired to record everything.  She was the first one to mention a sex act and money.  After Mr. C. agreed, Officers pulled him over, arrested him and impound his car.  Even though he had been cited, we became involved and got his car back quickly.  In addition, we contacted the City of Phoenix Prosecutors Office and pointed out the flaws in their case regarding potential entrapment (per their charging policy, the defendant is always to mention the sex and money first).  They agreed, and did not follow through with charging Mr. C.  They routed it back for further investigation, however the 1 year statute of limitations ran and no charges were ever brought against Mr. C.

State vs. Ms. N (DMC No. 9477)

State vs. Ms. N. (DMC No. 9477) (Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR2009-175984): Ms. M. was driving along the freeway when she had passed another vehicle in the HOV lane.  This vehicle was tailgating her and she tapped her brakes in order for him to slow down.  As she was changing lanes to exit the freeway, she heard a noise behind her but did not know what it was.  Police then left a message that they were trying to contact her regarding a hit and run accident with numerous injuries.  We were eventually able to convince the prosecutor’s office to charge only an endangerment instead of the more serious of felony hit and run.  Although endangerment was still a felony, we were able to work up the case and conduct a photo lineup with the alleged victim.   He was not able to identify Ms. M., and the state agreed to reduce charges to a misdemeanor hit and run charge that involved probation and no jail time.  Originally Ms. M. was facing a potential of 5-15 years in prison for an aggravated assault.
