She became involved with a ring of people who would forge prescriptions and secure drugs from various Pharmacies around the valley. They would then sell these drugs throughout the Phoenix area for a profit. After one of the individuals was arrested, a search warrant was issued and executed on Ms. M’s house. Various drugs and blank prescription pads were found, and then Ms. M. was arrested. She was ultimately charged with 17 counts of criminal activity. We were able to have Ms. M. enrolled in Counseling for her drug addiction, along with Rehab. We then secured an offer from the Prosecution in which they would not allege Ms. M’s prior Felony convictions. She was ultimately given Probation with a 9 month Jail term that included “2 for 1 eligibility”. She ultimately only had to serve 4.5 months in Jail.

Ms. N (DMC No. 8333) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR 2007-007124): Ms. A. lived in a house that was occupied at various times by 7 other co-defendants. She owned the house, and inside of this house there was a large amount of Marijuana and guns. Police obtained a warrant in which they Wire Tapped all of the co-defendants, and then showed up with a physical search warrant. The Police recorded some co-defendants asking Ms. N to “lie to the Police” about who actually was using the residence. Ultimately, a 24 Count Indictment was issued by a Grand Jury Indicting all 7 co-defendants. We were able to demonstrate to the Prosecution that Ms. N. was the least culpable of all of the co-defendants. We eventually secured an offer 2 Misdemeanors which included Probation and 4 weekends of Jail. Originally, Ms. N. had been facing the prospect of over 10 years in Prison.

State v. Ms. M (DMC No. 9458)

RICO/ILLEGAL CONTROL of an ENTERPRISE; CONSPIRACY; 2 COUNTS PRODUCTION of MARIJUANA (59 Plants) and POSSESSION of MARIJUANA for SALE: ALL REDUCED to ATTEMPTED POSSESSION of MARIJUANA for SALE with PROBATION and ZERO DAYS in JAIL – State v. Ms. M (DMC No. 9458) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR 2009-006134): Ms. M and 3 male codefendants were all living in a residence which maintained a Hydroponic growing facility which produced Marijuana. Officers had responded to a call of a strong odor of Marijuana coming from the residence, and after speaking with the residents a search warrant was issued. Eventually, 59 plants were found along with various Marijuana growing equipment that was valued at over $60,000. She was then charged under the Arizona RICO (Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organization Act). We were able to show the Assistant Arizona Attorney General that Ms. M was far less involved than the other co-defendants, and therefore she deserved an offer which included Probation with the ability to argue for zero days in Jail. At sentencing, the co-defendants were given 1 year in Jail, and Ms. M was awarded zero days in Jail. Originally she had been facing mandatory Prison time.

Mr. D. (DMC No. 8792) (La Paz County Superior Court CR2008-00415): Mr. D. was pulled over on the I-10 at approximately Mile Post 32 in Quartzsite, Arizona.  He was accused of travelling 87 in a 75 mph zone.  The officer claimed he could smell a strong odor of marijuana, and he had everybody removed from the car and searched it.  He located 99 pills of ecstasy along with 40 grams of marijuana.  Because there was no consent to the search, and there was no search warrant obtained, we were able to convince the Prosecutor to drop the serious Drugs for Sale charges in exchange for a simple Possession of Marijuana charge which became a Misdemeanor at conclusion of probation.  Originally, Mr. D. was facing over 10 years in prison.

(DMC No. 5040) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2004-018521): Detectives had been debriefed by a confidential informant who told them that Mr. C. had been selling cocaine and marijuana.  Detectives then set up a buy with Mr. C., in which he was to bring half of the cocaine to a particular location.  When he arrived, he was arrested and 271 grams of cocaine was found in his possession.  He was charged with a class 2 sale of dangerous drugs above the threshold (which exposed him to 3 to 12.5 years in prison).  We were able to show that he was not the “kingpin”, and that others were more culpable than him.  We were able to secure a deal which had the possibility of probation with 6 months in jail, up to 12.5 years in prison.  The State requested 5 years in prison, and we convinced the Judge to sentence Mr. C. to 6 months in jail, with work furlough so he could be released during the day to go to work and support his family.

Mr. A. (DMC No. 4980) (La Paz County Superior Court CR2004-0502;CR2003-0283): Mr. A. was travelling as a passenger in a car that was pulled over for travelling 78 mph in a 75 mph zone.  The officer then asked if the two were “engaged in criminal activity”.  A drug dog was brought out who sniffed the car and altered to the presence of marijuana.  Mr. A. then exited the car and ran away.  He was then taken into custody, and he said he ran because he saw the officer was “jacking up his friend”.  215 pounds of marijuana and $31, 000 in cash were found inside the vehicle and Mr. A. was charged with “transportation of marijuana for sale”, “money laundering” and “resisting arrest”.  Due to the questionable nature of the stop, we were able to reduce his charge down to a mere felony flight with possession of marijuana which included probation and zero day’s jail.  He was originally facing over a decade in prison.
