PUBLIC INTOXICATION DISMISSED – State v. Mr. P (DMC No. 9389) (Scottsdale City Court No. 2008-034054): Mr. P was employed by an Assisted Living Home and was taking care of an elderly gentlemen who was in a wheelchair.

Mr. P was cited for Public Intoxication under the Scottsdale City Code SRC 19-8A. We argued to the Prosecutor that the City code was “Void for Vagueness”, and therefore Unconstitutional. The Prosecutor agreed and dismissed all charges against Mr. P.

State v. Mr. B (DMC No. 6925)

PAROLE REINSTATED – State v. Mr. B (DMC No. 6925) (Arizona Board of Clemency-DOC No. 039589):  Mr. B had previously been convicted of Possession of Stolen Property per Arizona Revised Statute ARS 13-2306 and Promoting Prison Contraband per Arizona Revised Statute ARS 13-2505. He had been released on “community supervision” (Parole) and was subsequently taken into custody when he tested positive for methamphetamine. We were able to have Mr. B enrolled in the “Men In Recovery” program and we showed them that he was provided with unnecessary tools to deal with his drug addiction while outside of prison. Mr. B had originally spent 25 years in prison on a 47 year sentence, and he was now facing the possibility of serving the remaining 22 years in prison. Because of our efforts, he was reinstated on parole and released from prison. He is currently performing admirably and is employed.

State v. Mr. A. (DMC No. 6830)

FELONY PROMOTING PRISON CONTRABAND (with PRIOR CONVICTION while on PROBATION) REDUCED to PROBATION with 30 DAYS in Jail – State v. Mr. A (DMC No. 6830) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2006-008600): Mr. A had been convicted of Aggravated Assault and was serving a jail sentence with work release. He returned back to the jail with morphine pills in his pocket. He was subsequently charged with Promoting Prison Contraband (a Class 2 Felony) and was facing over 10 years of potential prison. Promoting Prison Contraband under Arizona Revised Statute ARS 13-2505 makes it a crime to “knowingly” bring contraband into a jail or prison. We were able to show the Prosecutor that Mr. A did “knowingly” have the pill in his pocket, but he had forgotten it was there when he came back to the jail. We were able to have the case reduced down to a simple probation disposition with 30 days in jail.

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

NOT CHARGED | SEXUAL ASSAULT (DCAC); SEXUAL CONDUCT with a MINOR (DCAC) and CHILD MOLESTATION (DCAC) ALL INVOLVING 3 ALLEGED VICTIM’S NOT CHARGED – State v. Mr. A. (DMC No. 6867) (Mesa Police Department Investigated): Mr. A. was a 74 year old grandfather who had been supporting his drug addicted daughter’s children. Because his daughter and her husband had owed him a sizeable amount of money and they were being “cut off” from financial support, she had her three granddaughters now make accusations of Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Assault and Child Molestation, all Dangerous Crimes Against Children (DCAC) per ARS 13-1405, ARS 13-1406, and ARS 13-1410 against Mr. A. We had Mr. A. take a polygraph test in which he passed indicating that he never touched these children. Eventually the oldest of the three children who was now 18 contacted us indicating that her parents told them to lie. We got her in touch with the Detectives and she informed them that these were all manufactured allegations. Her parents had since moved out of State and were still abusing drugs. No charges were brought against Mr. A. If charges had been brought, he would have been held as “non bondable” until the case finalized and if convicted he would have spent the rest of his life in prison.

The couple who was trying to adopt the child were denied the adoption and made allegations that Mr. K. been molesting the child. CPS became involved and were ascertaining whether charges should be forwarded regarding Child Molestation as a Dangerous Crime Against Children under ARS 13-1410. We had Mr. K. take a polygraph test, in which he passed showing there was no molestation. In addition, we had CPS interview the child directly. The child stated that Mr. K. had never molested him, however the child stated he was molested when he was 5 years of age by somebody different. Ultimately, no charges were ever brought against Mr. K. and he was allowed to continue as a mentor to at risk youth.

The students then claimed that they had sex with their teacher, and the Phoenix Police Department began investigating. They were looking into charging Ms. K. with 2 counts of Sexual Conduct with a Minor pursuant to ARS 13-1405.

State v. Mr. B (DMC No. 8228)

NOT CHARGED | SEXUAL CONDUCT with a MINOR – State v. Mr. B. (DMC No. 8228) (Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office Investigated): Mr. B. his cousin and his cousin’s friends were all driving to Prescott when they pulled up next to a girl’s car while driving. She exchanged phone numbers with them and they invited her to their party. She went home, got a friend and went to the party to meet the men. She was 16, yet told them she was 19. Mr. B. was 20 years old and he engaged in consensual sex with the young lady. She then engaged in sexual conduct with other men at the party, and Mr. B. became upset and called her various names and left the party. Her friend then took the young lady to the police station and claimed she had been sexually assaulted. The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office then began investigating Mr. B. for Sexual Conduct with a Minor pursuant to ARS 13-1405. During the investigation, the young lady admitted that his part was consensual and that she told him she was over the age of 18. Based upon those factors, we convinced the Yavapai County Attorney’s Office to not bring charges against Mr. B. They, however, were still investigating the other men for possible charges of Sexual Assault.

State v. Mr. S (DMC No. 9381)

NOT CHARGED | CHILD MOLESTATION (DCAC) NOT CHARGED – State v. Mr. S. (DMC No. 9381) (Phoenix Police Department/CPS Investigated): Mr. S. was a 17 year old who was accused of having sexual contact with his then 13 year old sister. Approximately a year and a half after the alleged incident, the sister began having counseling for depression. She told the counselor about the alleged sexual incidents and the Phoenix Police Department and CPS were immediately contacted. An investigation for Child Molestation as a Dangerous Crimes Against Children (DCAC) under Arizona Revised Statute 13-1410 was then started.

We became involved and we had Mr. S. take a Psychosexual Risk Evaluation, and enter counseling. We also invoked his rights to remain silent, and no statements were provided by Mr. S. Because there was no physical evidence, along with a lack of confession and the fact that Mr. S. was seeking treatment no charges were brought against him. This was the family and the alleged victim’s wishes.
