State vs. Mr. M (DMC No. 9976)

DISMISSED | FELONY THEFT / FORGERY – State vs. Mr. M. (DMC No. 9976) (Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR2010-145563): Mr. M. made money by buying and selling used iphones on craigslist.  Earlier in the day, he bought a used iphone at one location, and then he went to a Fry’s electronics to buy another iphone.  Police showed up and claimed that he had used counterfeit money when buying the first iphone earlier in the day.  Mr. M. adamantly denied that allegation, and he (and his girlfriend) stated that the person making the claim was not the person who he had met with earlier in the day.  He was eventually charged with Theft and Forgery and after interviewing numerous witnesses, we were able to convince the prosecutor that the charges had no merit, and they agreed to Dismiss all charges.

State v. Mrs. S (DMC No. 9988)

RESTORED | CIVIL RIGHTS – State v. Mrs. S. (DMC No. 9988) (Pima County Superior Court No. CR2005-2875): Some years earlier, Ms. S. plead guilty to 1 count of Disorderly Conduct, class 6 undesignated felony.  An application was filed in order to have her Conviction of Guilt Set Aside, Designate her case to a Misdemeanor, and have her civil rights restored.  Due to the fact that a gun was involved in the underlying case, the judge refused to set aside her conviction at the time.  However, her Civil Rights were Restored and she is now allowed to vote and her record reflects only a misdemeanor conviction.

State vs. Mr. R (DMC No. 10012)

NOT CHARGED | SEXUAL ASSAULT State vs. Mr. R. (DMC No. 10012) (Tempe Police Department): Mr. R. was a college student at ASU who had had an  on-again off-again relationship with a young lady.  Both were now dating other people when he had got a call from her asking that he come over to her apartment.  When he arrived there, she had been drinking and she proceeded to tell him that his new girlfriend was a liar and was not actually a virgin.  She then stated “I miss you” and they both engaged in consensual sex.  She then got angry and told him “I’m not going to be girl number 2 anymore” and threw him out of her room.  Her boyfriend found out about the incident, and convinced her to go to the police the next day.  We were not only able to convince the police department to not file charges, we were also able to convince ASU’s Administrative Hearing Board to “exceptionally clear” the charges, thus allowing Mr. R. to remain a student at ASU.

State vs. Mr. G (DMC No. 10065)

REDUCED | DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE  – State vs. Mr. G. (DMC No. 10065) (Apache Junction Justice Court No. TR2010-06331): Mr. G. was stopped for a minor traffic violation and it was discovered his license was suspended.  He told police that his license was not suspended and there was a mistake at the DMV.  Because Mr. G. would lose his license another year should he be convicted of driving on a suspended license, he was facing a serious penalty.  We were able to convince the prosecutor that it would serve the greater interest to reduce this to a charge of Unsworn Falsification (ARS 13-2704 A1), which would not result in Mr. G.’s license being suspended.  He was able to keep his job which required a valid license.

State vs. Mr. A. (DMC No. 9889)

REDUCED | DRAG RACING – (DMC No. 9889) (West McDowell Justice Court No. TR2010-141173): Mr. A. was a minor league baseball player who was previously in the major leagues. He had purchased a new Camaro SS and was driving on the freeway at a high rate of speed. Another vehicle sped up to catch up with him and an officer thought that two were drag racing. Mr. A. was pulled over and charged with drag racing. We were able to convince the prosecutor that he was unaware of the other vehicle’s presence and was merely speeding. If he were convicted of the drag racing charge, he would have lost his license and would have done jail time.

U.S. v. Mr D (DMC No. 3379)

NOT CHARGED | WIRE FRAUD / SECURITIES FRAUD – Mr. D was the owner of an International Bank based out of Scottsdale, Arizona.  He was accused of defrauding investors of over $1,000,000.00 due to the fact that the bank invested income in various construction projects in Florida.  Eventually, these projects went “belly up”, and there was no money to pay back the investors.  The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office were investigating Mr. D for Sale of Unlicensed Securities, Theft and various RICO violations.  Mr. Cantor became involved with the FBI agents and the U.S. Attorney and demonstrated to them that this was not a criminal case, it was actually a civil case that needed to be resolved between the investors and Mr. D.  The U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute Mr. D.

The woman, who was also from out of town, submitted $5,000 worth of medical bills claiming they were a result from this incident. We were able to show that numerous prescriptions and diagnosis were submitted from before this incident. In addition, we were able to show that Ms. L. acted in self-defense.

U.S. vs. Mr. F (DMC No. 9901)

REDUCED | POSSESSION AND DISTRIBUTION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY – U.S. Government vs. Mr. F. (DMC No. 9901) (U.S. District Court – District of Arizona No. CR10-01661-001): Mr. F. was an adult male who lived in a group home for those with Autism. He was high functioning and was able to log on to his computer and download a large quantity of child pornography. Due to his restrictive learning development, we were able to negotiate with the prosecutors in order to reduce this case to a plea of probation with no jail time. Only counseling and monitoring were required. He was originally facing the standard minimum plea offer of 5 years in prison, which elevates to 20 years in prison if he were to have proceeded to trial and lost. This case was an example of how diminished capacity can result in a massive reduction in penalty.
