State v. Ms. W. (DMC No. 5472)

Someone had used Ms. W’s license when they received a DUI. Based upon the conviction, the Arizona DMV was going to suspend Ms. W’s driver’s privileges. At the hearing, we were able to present evidence that the person who was convicted of the DUI was not Ms. W. Although they were originally seeking to suspend her under Arizona Revised Statute ARS 28-1385, we were able to have the hearing vacated and Ms. W’s license was left intact.

State vs. Mr. M (DMC No. 8681)

NOT CHARGED | Possession of Dangerous Drugs for Sale(DMC No. 8681) (Gilbert Police Department): Gilbert police executed a search at Mr. M.’s house after they alleged he had received and sold various quantities of cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana. We were able to negotiate a “free talk” and cooperation contract with the Gilbert Police Department. All potential charges of felony possession of dangerous drugs and Mr. M’s record of arrest were erased. Although he had prior felonies and was facing a lengthy prison time, he ended up with nothing on his record.

State v. Ms. S. (DMC No. 5273)

Ms. S was captured in a photo radar ticket allegedly running a red light. We set the case to hearing, and the State was not able to present a witness to identify Ms. S as the driver of the vehicle. This was required, as she was cited under Arizona Revised Statute ARS 28-645(A)(3)(A). Because they could not satisfy the identification requirement, the Scottsdale City Prosecutor was required to dismiss all charges against Ms. S.

State vs. Mr. B (DMC No. 8601)

NOT CHARGED | FRAUD SCHEMES, FALSE REPORTING AND DEFRAUDING  A SECURED CREDITOR (DMC No. 8601) State vs. Mr. B. (Glendale Police Department): Mr. B.’s fiancé had purchased a vehicle from a local car dealership. Two months later, Mr. B. and his fiancé filed a police report that the vehicle had been stolen. Police later found the vehicle at a co-workers house of Mr. B., and it had various performance upgrades made to the vehicle. The co-worker said that he had bought the car from Mr. B. We were able to poke holes in the co-workers claim in that he had no receipt for cash that he had supposedly given Mr. B. for the vehicle. We informed detectives that he most likely had duplicated Mr. B.’s keys and stole the vehicle in the middle of the night from Mr. B.’s fiancé’s house as she had claimed. No charges were brought against Mr. B., even though he was currently on probation for a prior possession of stolen property charge. In addition, he had a prior fraud schemes conviction several years earlier. He was originally facing well over 2 decades in prison, yet was not charged with any crime.

State v. Mr. M (DMC No. 6881)

NOT CHARGED | SEXUAL ASSAULT – In 2006, Mr. M, a juvenile correctional officer, was accused of molesting one of the inmates. We had Mr. M pass a polygraph, and the inmate refused to do the same when requested to do so by Detectives. It was fairly easy to show that this was a retaliatory claim by an inmate against one of his jailers. He was not charged by the Prosecutor or by a Grand Jury.

State v. Mr. A (DMC No. 6867)

NOT CHARGED | CHILD MOLESTATION – In 2006, Mr. A was accused by two of his teenage grand-daughters of fondling them while in the swimming pool. We were able to show that the two girls were upset with their grandfather because he would not provide them with money because he was currently in a dispute with his own daughter (their mother). Upon further investigation, Mr. A passed a polygraph test and both alleged victims admitted that they had made up the story because they were upset, and because their mother had pressured them.

State v. Mr. T (DMC No. 6708)

NOT GUILTY/COMPLETE ACQUITTAL at JURY TRIAL: KIDNAPPING & AGGRAVATED ASSAULT – State v. Mr. T (DMC No. 6708) Nov 27, 2006 (Maricopa County Superior Court CR 2006-129306): Mr. T had been home drinking when his girlfriend arrived late at night. They began an argument and a physical altercation ensued. After Police arrived, Mr. T’s girlfriend was found to have a head injury and she was taken to the hospital.  Mr. T was ultimately charged with Kidnapping and Aggravated Assault.

On the first day of Jury Trial, the Jury was selected and impaneled. On the second day of Jury Trial, various evidentiary hearings were held regarding items of evidence we were seeking to have suppressed. We won that hearing and the State was precluded from bringing in “other bad acts” evidence against Mr. T. On the third day of trial, the State developed witness problems and they were forced to dismiss their case while in the middle of trial. The jury was then excused and Mr. T has no conviction on his record.

State v. Mr. C (DMC No. 6649)

NOT GUILTY/COMPLETE ACQUITTAL at JURY TRIAL: EXTREME DUI (.157 BAC), DUI, DWI & HIT and RUN – State v. Mr. C (DMC No. 6649) (Phoenix City Court No. 3419699): Mr. C was involved in a Hit and Run accident in Glendale Arizona. After the accident, he was followed to John C Lincoln Hospital in Phoenix. While he was receiving treatment, a Phoenix Police Officer arrived on scene and questioned him. Mr. C stated that he was being chased by a man with a gun, and that is why he left the scene without stopping.

The Officer detected an odor of alcohol and then asked for a Blood Draw to be performed. Subsequently, Mr. C’s BAC was revealed to be a .157 and then he was charged with Extreme DWI, DUI, DWI and Hit and Run. At Jury Trial in the city of Phoenix, the Prosecutor could not prove that Mr. C was actually driving impaired by alcohol while in Phoenix. In addition, the Hit and Run and all observed driving took place in Glendale. Because of this, we made a Motion for a “Directed Verdict” after the State had closed their case with the Jury. That Motion was granted, and all charges were dismissed. Because the Jury had already been impaneled and trial had begun, jeopardy had been attached and all charges had been permanently dismissed.

State v. Ms. C (DMC No. 6134)

REDUCED | Vehicular Manslaughter and Aggravated Assault Ms. C was accused of traveling 80 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone with barbiturates in her system when an accident occurred taking the lives of two people and injuring three others. We were able to show that there was a faulty drug analysis and were not barbiturates in her system. In addition, by performing an accident reconstruction, along with analyzing the “black box” (data recorder) in her vehicle, we proved that her speed was not 80 miles per hour. After numerous plea negotiations we finally obtained a plea for Negligent Homicide, which involved probation and two years of jail (with work release). Her original exposure was as high as 42 years in prison.

State v. Ms. S. (DMC No. 8364)

Ms. S, who was 21 years old, was with 2 of her friends when they became bored and went into an alleyway to throw oranges at cars. Once the Police were called, they arrived on scene and observed this activity. An Officer got out of his Patrol car and stated “Police, Stop”, and Ms. S and her 2 friends began to run away. When they were eventually caught, Ms. S was charged with Obstructing a Public Roadway per Arizona Revised Statute ARS 13-2906(A), and Obstructing a Police Officer under Chandler City Code CC11-11. We were able to convince the Prosecutor that this was a harmless prank, and that no vehicles were actually struck with the oranges. They agreed to dismiss both criminal charges in exchange to plea to a civil ticket of Failure to Remove Hazardous materials from a roadway under Arizona Revised Statute ARS 28-898(B).
