State v. Mr. D (DMC No. 9474)

MOTION TO MODIFY PROBATION (FELONY TO INDECENT EXPOSURE) to ALLOW CONTACT with DAUGHTER GRANTED– State v. Mr. D (DMC No. 9474) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR 2009-150549): Mr. D had gotten into a fight with his girlfriend after drinking, and that fight spilled into the living room. Unfortunately, Mr. D was naked at the time, and her 12 year old witnessed this. He ultimately plead to a felony Indecent Exposure and was ordered (as a condition of probation) to have no contact with his own 16 year old daughter. We became involved and filled a Motion to Modify Conditions of Probation to allow him to have contact with his own daughter. Although the Probation Department and Prosecutors objected, the Judge agreed with us and granted him the ability to see his own daughter and have contact.

State v. Mr. C (DMC No. 9098)

2 COUNTS FELONY PUBLIC SEXUAL INDECENCY TO A MINOR REDUCED MISDEMEANOR INDECENT EXPOSURE with PROBATION and ZERO DAYS of ACTUAL JAIL– State v. Mr. C (DMC No. 9098) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR 2008-173383): Mr. C was a 73 year old man who would work the grave yard shift and get off at 10:00 in the morning. He would routinely go to watch a movie at a local movie theater and would eat his dinner along with a 32oz soda. While he was in a movie theater he had to urinate (as he had bladder issues), and he reached inside his shorts in order to hold himself to keep from peeing. A family sitting next to him with two minor children observed this and the police were called. Although Mr. C stated he was only holding his penis to prevent peeing himself, the family stated that he was actually fondling himself. We were able to present mitigating evidence to the prosecutor would secure a misdemeanor offer with four months of defered jail (which was deleted when he successfully completed probation). He originally was facing years in prison, but ended up with probation, a misdemeanor and Zero days in jail.

State v. Mr. C (DMC No. 9569)

DEFRAUDING A SECURED CREDITOR/MORTGAGE FRAUD ($41,000) REDUCED to CLASS 6 Open/Misdemeanor CRIMINAL DAMAGE (Designated as a MISDEMEANOR at Sentencing) with PROBATION and ZERO DAYS in JAIL. – State v. Mr. C (DMC No. 9569) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR 2010-115555): Mr. C. and his wife had purchased a house that was well beyond their means. This occurred prior to the housing bubble, and when their rates readjusted, Mr. C. could no longer afford the house. Prior to the house going into foreclosure, he sought bad legal advice and was informed that he could remove various fixtures from the house. After he removed $41,000 in fixtures, he then let the house proceed into foreclosure. JP Chase Bank subsequently contacted Police, and Mr. C. was charged for Defrauding a Secured Creditor/Mortgage Fraud. We were able to arrange for most of the items to be returned and secured an offer from the Prosecutor to Criminal Damage Class 6/Open with Probation. At Sentencing we convinced the Judge to designate the case as an outright Misdemeanor, and to waive any Jail time. Because Mr. C. was employed in the tax preparation field, this allowed him to keep his employment due to the fact that there was no Felony on his record.

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. K (DMC No. 9162)

3 COUNTS of MONEY LAUNDERING; 2 COUNTS of RICO/ILLEGAL CONTROL of an ENTERPRISE and 1 COUNT of KEEPING a HOUSE of PROSTITUTION: ALL REDUCED to FACILITATION with PROBATION and 4 MONTHS in JAIL – State v. Ms. K (DMC No. 9162) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR 2009-006315): Ms. K had worked for an escort service by the name of AZ Confidential. This business had employed multiple escorts who would exchange sexual favors for money and then give AZ Confidential a portion of the cash in exchange for setting up the meetings. After a large and highly publicized raid resulted in the arrest of multiple co-defendants, Ms. K. was charged under the Arizona RICO Statutes for working with a Criminal Syndicate. She obtained our services and we were able to show that even though she was listed 10th out of the 43 co-defendants, she was not nearly as involved as the owners of AZ Confidential. We were able to secure a Plea to the lowest level of Felony of “Facilitation to Commit Illegal Control of an Enterprise”, which included Probation and 4 months of Jail. Ms. K. had originally been facing mandatory Prison time which could have resulted in well over a decade in custody.

State v. Mr. M (DMC No. 9464)

RICO/ILLEGAL CONTROL of an ENTERPRISE; ASSISTING a CRIMINAL SYNDICATE; CONSPIRACY to COMMIT POSSESSION of MARIJUANA for SALE and USE of a WIRE COMMUNICATION in a DRUG RELATED TRANSACTION: ALL REDUCED to FACILITATION to COMMIT TRANSPORTATION of MARIJUANA for SALE with PROBATION and ZERO ADDITIONAL DAYS in JAIL. – State v. Mr. M (DMC No. 9464) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR 2010-005410): Mr. M was employed as a UPS driver and had become involved with 22 other co-defendants who were shipping Marijuana via UPS. After all defendants were arrested, Mr. M was charged with Assisting a Criminal Syndicate under the Arizona RICO (Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organization Act). We were able to show that Mr. M was a very minor player who received low compensation for being involved in this Criminal Syndicate. Because he was not the “King Pin”, we were able to negotiate a deal which reduced all charges to the lowest level Felony of “Facilitation” which included Probation and zero additional days in Jail. If Mr. M were to have been convicted of all charges, he could have potentially spent the rest of his life 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.

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. S (DMC No. 9573)

NOT CHARGED/REDUCED | SEXUAL CONDUCT with a MINOR (DCAC) NOT CHARGED/2 COUNTS FELONY INDECENT EXPOSURE REDUCED to MISDEMEANOR INDECENT EXPOSURE with PROBATION and ZERO DAYS in JAIL – State v. Mr. S. (DMC No. 9573) (Pinal County Attorney’s Office CR2009-01500): Mr. S. was a widower who worked at Home Depot with a friend whose daughter and grandkids needed a place to stay. He brought them in and let them stay for free and helped out with her children out of the kindness of his heart. The mother was a drug abuser who began to steal from Mr. S. When she was confronted, she then had her two children (ages 7 and 8) make various allegations against Mr. S. We became involved with Detectives and provided them with a copy of a polygraph in which Mr. S. passed with flying colors. Because of this, no charges were brought against Mr. S. for Sexual Misconduct with a Minor, Dangerous Crimes Against Children (DCAC) per Arizona Revised Statue 13-1405. However, charges were brought against him for Indecent Exposure under ARS 13-1402 to the two children because he had admitted to Detectives that while changing the kids would come into his room and had seen him naked.

During the pendency of Mr. S.’s case, we presented evidence that this was incidental and not done on purpose or for a sexual purpose. However, Mr. S. had admitted to Detectives that he could have been more careful, and he could have covered up quicker than he had. Therefore, we secured an offer to a simple Misdemeanor with Probation, no jail and Mr. S. did not have to register as a Sex Offender. The original allegations exposed Mr. S. to potentially the rest of his life in prison.
