State v. Mr. C (DMC No. 8485)

INSURANCE FRAUD ($23,000) and THEFT of MEANS of TRANSPORTATION NOT CHARGED; FALSE REPORTING DISMISSED – State v. Mr. C (DMC No. 8485) (Surprise City Court CR07-01028/Surprise Police Department DR 07096356): Mr. C had gone to Las Vegas to get married, and when he got back his truck was missing. It was found by the Peoria Police Department burned out in the desert. This was then reported to the Surprise Police Department, and Mr. C had filed a stolen vehicle report. The police and insurance company became suspicious and interviewed a friend of Mr. C’s who stated that Mr. C had another friend named “Greg” steal the vehicle and burn it so he could file an insurance claim in order to recover $23,000.

We became involved in the case, and dealt directly with the Detective on Mr. C’s behalf. The Detective filed a direct complaint into the Surprise City Court for False Reporting. We ultimately got this charged Dismissed. In addition, the Detective routed his file over to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office to be reviewed for charges of Insurance Fraud and Theft of Means of Transportation. Due to our intervention, no charges were brought against Mr. C. If he would have been charged, he could have done time in prison.

State v. Mr. S (DMC No. 8126)

DRAG RACING and ENDANGERMENT REDUCED to RECKLESS DRIVING with 2 DAYS in JAIL – State v. Mr. S (DMC No. 8126) (Scottsdale City Court TR2008-008525): Officers were in Scottsdale near the “Flickas” bar at Scottsdale Road and Indian School. They had observed 3 vehicles racing at 90 miles per hour down Scottsdale Road, and then they were seen again racing down McDowell Road. Only Mr. S’s vehicle was pulled over, and Mr. S’s passenger stated that they were going 120 miles per hour. Mr. S was then arrested and taken into custody.

We were able to convince the Prosecutor that because there were no admission by Mr. S, and the fact that his passenger might be unwilling to cooperate, they offered a much lower Reckless Driving charge with 2 days in jail. If Mr. S had been convicted of the Endangerment and Drag Racing, he would have lost his license for over a year. He would have also been subjected to potentially 1 year in jail.

State v. Mr. H (DMC No. 8565)

3rd OFFENSE FELONY FLIGHT (while on probation) REDUCED to MISDEMEANOR RECKLESS DRIVING with 4 MONTHS in JAIL – State v. Mr. H (DMC No. 8565) (Gila County Superior Court CR2008-568): Mr. H had 2 prior Felony convictions and was on probation at the time of this offense. An officer attempted to make a traffic stop for a minor traffic infraction when Mr. H drove away at a high rate of speed. He eventually jumped out of his vehicle and ran away on foot before being arrested. Because Mr. H had 1 allegeable prior, and was on Felony Probation, he was facing up to 3.75 years in prison. We were able to show the Prosecutor that Mr. H had recently been enrolled in school and was attempting to improve his life. We also presented other Mitigating Evidence to the Judge. This allowed us to secure a plea to a Misdemeanor with 4 months in jail with “Work Release” that allowed Mr. H to attend school and work during the day. His jail was served at night.

State v. Mr. I (DMC No. 7567)

RACING ON THE HIGHWAY REDUCED to A SPEEDING TICKET- State v. Mr. I (DMC No. 7567) (Prescott Justice Court No. 2007-090598J): Mr. I was accused of drag racing his brother in separate vehicles in between Prescott and Sedona. In reality, Mr. I was in his wife’s new Volkswagen, and he had never driven it before. The reason Mr. I pulled up next to his brother, was to roll down the window and ask him how to get the highway, because his wife did not have GPS. Mr. I then accelerated and went in front of his brother once he got his answer. An Officer had been following closely behind and mistook their actions as Drag Racing. We were able to convince the Prosecutor to knock it down to a simple Speeding Ticket, rather than a criminal infraction. This was important because Mr. I was in the United States on a Student Visa.

State v. Mr. P (DMC No. 12923)

NOT GUILTY/COMPLETE ACQUITTAL at JURY TRIAL| SUPER EXTREME DWI (.257 BAC), EXTREME DWI, DUI & DWI – State v. Mr. P (DMC NO. 12923) Jul 2, 2015 (Tempe City Court Case No. 14-036979): Mr. P was seen at The Brickyard’s area in Tempe by a Security Guard urinating inside the parking garage, and when confronted he was told to go to Jack in the Box. He apologized for his behavior and approximately 40 minutes later, the same Security Guard saw Mr. P asleep in his vehicle in a parking spot with the engine running and the air conditioner on. Police arrived and it took them several attempts to awake Mr. P.

Once he was taken to the station, he provided a blood test which revealed a .257 BAC. We presented evidence to the Jury that the State lacked proof of “Actual Physical Control” (APC). We proved that Mr. P was merely using his vehicle as “temporary shelter,” and was not actually operating his vehicle. The State argued that because his engine was on, this constituted “Driving”. The Jury did not buy the State’s argument, and Mr. P was found Not Guilty of All Charges. He was originally facing a minimum of 45 days in Jail if convicted.

TRAFFICKING AND STOLEN PROPERTY ($67,800), THEFT OF MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION and BURGLARY ALL REDUCED to PROBATION with 6 MONTHS DEFERRED JAIL – State v. Mr. D (DMC No. 9012) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2009-119368): Mr. D had stolen a trailer along with various all-terrain vehicles from his former landlord. He then painted the trailer and removed the VIN numbers on the vehicles before putting them on Craigslist for sale. The vehicles and trailers were ultimately purchased, and then it was discovered they were stolen during the titling process. Mr. D was contacted by police and arrested. His wife admitted to Mr. D’s crimes, and also the police pulled up video surveillance from a local U-Haul storage facility showing Mr. D with the trailer and vehicles. Although the original Victim and State Farm Insurance company sought prison time, we were able to convince the Judge to give Mr. A 6 months of “Deferred” jail which was later Deleted after he had paid back full restitution. Mr. D originally was looking at years in prison.

COMPLETE ACQUITTAL at BENCH TRIAL | DUI (.081 BAC)  – State v. Mr. W. (DMC No. 6565) (Phoenix City Court 3403327): Mr. W. was observed by a police officer exiting a Taco Bell drive-thru and driving over the curb on the way out to the street.  He was subsequently stopped and processed for a DUI.  He provided a blood test of .081, after he had requested a private call with his lawyer.  Because the police were within 10 feet of Mr. W. during this phone call, we were able to convince the State to dismiss the DWI charge (blood alcohol .081).  At bench trial to the Judge, Mr. W. was found Not Guilty of DUI (driving under the influence).  He has no conviction on his record.

State v Mr. S (DMC No. 12936)

Not Guilty / Partial Acquittal at Jury Trial – Felony Unlawful Flight from Police Only – State v Mr. S (Jun. 8, 2015) (DMC No. 12936) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2014-128888):  Mr. S had been out drinking one night, and then had gone through a drive-thru of a local fast food restaurant.  While he was at the drive-thru, he was violently assaulted by another individual who had walked up to his vehicle.  He suffered extensive bruising and lacerations on his face.  He immediately took off out of the drive-thru, and was pursued by his attacker.

An Officer saw him driving very fast and pulled out onto the street to begin pursuing Mr. S.  His attacker then pulled off the roadway and made a right hand turn.  The Officer continued following Mr. S and he eventually pulled him over.  Mr. S did not see the Police vehicle behind him because he had large speakers, which blocked his rear view out his back window.  He was ultimately charged with Misdemeanor DUI and Felony Unlawful Flight from the Police per Arizona Revised Statute ARS 28-622.01.  At Jury Trial, we presented all of the relevant facts involved, along with photographs of Mr. S’s injuries.  The jury found Mr. S Not Guilty of the more serious Felony charge. Although he was potentially facing up to 2 years in prison, he has no felony record thanks to his Acquittal.

State v. Mr. J (DMC No. 12891)

NOT GUILTY/ COMPLETE ACQUITTAL at JURY TRIAL: DUI and DWI (.112 BAC)-State v. Mr. J (DMC No. 12891) Jun. 4, 2015 (Lake Havasu Consolidated City Court MTR2014-03161): Mr. J was traveling southbound on Acoma approaching Daytona Road in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. A Police Officer claimed that Mr. J did not come to a complete stop at a stop sign. He then pulled him over and processed him for a DUI. He subsequently provided a breath sample which showed a .112 BAC.

At Jury Trial, we argued to the Jury that the stop was questionable (ie. “Pretext” stop). We also pointed out that Mr. J had acid reflex which could cause a mouth alcohol issue and falsely inflate his breath reading. In addition, there was a Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) warning that showed up on the machine 5 minutes prior to Mr. J’s breath test. Lastly, he asked to be released to get an Independent Blood Test, and was instead booked into Jail and only given a phone book. We argued that the Police Officer knew that he must be released to get the test because no hospital nurse will show up to the jail. The Jury deliberated for about 1 hour and found Mr. J Not Guilty of all charges.

State v. Mr. S (DMC No. 12842)

NOT GUILTY/ COMPLETE ACQUITTAL at JURY TRIAL: DUI and DWI (.127 BAC) – State v. Mr. S (DMC No. 12842) May 22, 2015 (Highland Justice Court TR2014-142693): Mr. S was stopped by DPS Officer Doucet on the US-60 in Phoenix, Arizona. The Officer claimed that Mr. S performed poorly on Field Sobriety Tests and arrested him for DUI. He was then taken to the Police Station where a blood test revealed at .127 BAC.

At Jury Trial we presented medical evidence showing that Mr. S had a knee injury which caused him serious issues with his balance and affected his Field Sobriety Tests. We also had medical evidence showing he had a natural “nystagmus,” which causes an involuntary jerking or bouncing of his eyes. This is often a sign or symptom of alcohol impairment, (if there is not a medical cause). Lastly, the Jury was presented which evidence regarding possible flaws in the blood collection and analysis. The Jury found Mr. S Not Guilty of all charges.
