State v. Mr. D (DMC No.)

REDUCED | THEFT OF MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION / SALE OF COUNTERFEIT MERCHANDISE –State v. Mr. D. (Tempe City Court No. 03-672467): Mr. D. had worked for a local car dealership, and he had taken 3 different vehicles and driven them for extended periods of time without permission. In some cases, the vehicles were driven for several thousand miles, thereby reducing the value of the vehicles substantially. After conducting extensive witness interviews, we were able to show that Mr. D. did have permission given to him by his General Manager, however, he did question the validity of this permission. On the eve of trial, the prosecutor extended a misdemeanor deal with zero days in jail and small amount of restitution.

State v. Mr. C (Case No. CR2003-000888)(DMC No. )

REDUCED | THEFT/POSSESSION OF BURGLARY TOOLS/BURGLARY – State v. Mr. C. (Peoria City Court No. CR2003-000888): Mr. C. was initially arrested because a victim claimed that she observed 2 males removing lug nuts and trying to steal 4 wheel covers from her vehicle. Mr. C. was arrested and charged with Burglary, Possession of Burglary Tools, and Theft. We were able to show the prosecutor that due to the low value of the property ($285.00) that the case should be routed to the City Prosecutor’s Office for misdemeanor charges. We then negotiated to have him charged with a single misdemeanor Theft. Mr. C. paid a $350.00 fine and served no jail time.

State v. Mr. R (DMC No. 7060)

State v. Mr. R. (Phoenix Municipal Court No. 3598412): Mr. R. was charged with Public Sexual Indeceny. Police claimed they had gone in plainclothes into an adult theater in order to do an inspection. While they checked in a “single person booth,” they saw our client watching a video and allegedly masturbating. We explained to the prosecutors that this did not really fit into the definition of Public Sexual Indecency due to the fact that no reasonable person would be surprised by seeing that type of behavior in that location. The State dropped the Sex Crimes allegations and reduced the charge to Disorderly Conduct with no jail.

State v. Mr. H (DMC No.)

REDUCED | DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE – State v. Mr. H. (Scottsdale Municipal Court No. TR-2006033384): Mr. H. was pulled over for having a cracked windshield. The officer informed Mr. H. that his license was suspended, but Mr. H. indicated he thought he had taken care of this license suspension because he had renewed his New Mexico license prior to coming to Arizona on vacation. Due to the fact that Mr. H. was never told he would have to pay a reinstatement fee in Arizona, we were able to get that charge dismissed in exchange for a cracked windshield ticket.

The other driver took off, and Mr. B. pulled over to check out the damage to his vehicle. When Mr. B. was back on the roadway, the other driver pulled up next to him and said he had called police. We were able to show that Mr. B. had not absconded from the area, therefore the criminal charge was dismissed and he was issued only a speeding ticket.

REDUCED | RECKLESS DRIVING – State vs. Ms. R.
