State v. Mr. R (DMC No. 10402)

REDUCED | MISDEMEANOR VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER (A.R.S. 28-672) REDUCED to probation with zero days in jail – State v. Mr. R. (DMC No. 10402) (Surprise Municipal Court TR11-00425): Mr. R. made a left hand turn in front of a vehicle that contained two passengers.  A 93 year old woman died due as a result of that collision.  Mr. R. was cited under ARS 28-672 “causing death due to a moving violation”, and faced up to 6 months in jail.  Although witnesses claimed it was Mr. R.’s fault, we were able to show the prosecutor that it may have been the other driver’s fault.  Ultimately, they offered a plea with restitution and 160 hours of community service with no jail time.

State v. Mr. B (DMC No. 7131)

FIRST DEGREE MURDER (2 Counts) REDUCED to Second Degree Murder – State v. Mr. B. (DMC No. 7131) (Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR2005-141941): Mr. B. and 2 others went to the home of a methamphetamine dealer and his girlfriend under the rouse of borrowing some items. Once they were there, they robbed the 2 victims at gunpoint and shot them. Although Mr. B. was initially facing the Death Penalty, we were able to convince the State to not seek death with our first degree murder defense. We were also able to raise some defenses in the case which resulted in securing a plea to 2 Counts of Second Degree Murder with a sentence of 13 years on each count. Although Mr. B. admitted to being the shooter and firing 12 rounds of ammunition, there were still some significant questions as to the reliability of his confession. Even without death being on the table, most people convicted in Arizona of a double homicide are given a minimum of a natural life sentence, whereas Mr. B. will be free at age 44.

State v. Mr. A (DMC No. 463)

(Gila County Superior Court No. 97-675CR): Mr. A. and numerous co-defendants were charged with meeting the victim at a casino and then going back to his residence where they shot to death with a shotgun and robbed him. We were able to present numerous issues showing that Mr. A. did not know this crime was going to turn into a homicide. Additionally, the State’s physical evidence fell apart when they were attempting to match a footprint on a door to Mr. A. We eventually negotiated a plea agreement to Burglary with 3.5 years in prison. The shooter received 25 years to life.

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.
