State v. Mr. W. (DMC No. 6593)

REDUCED | RECKLESS DRIVING REDUCED to “failure to obey traffic control device” with zero jail – State v. Mr. W. (DMC No. 6593) (Mesa City Court 2006045335): Mr. W. was observed by a Mesa Officer approaching an accident scene with two patrol cars were blocking two of the lanes and half of the suicide lane. Cones were set up which wouldn’t let anybody turn either right or left. Mr. W. was observed driving around the patrol cars and attempting to go straight. When he was stopped, Mr. W. stated that since no officers were directing traffic, he thought he could drive that direction. We convinced the prosecutor to dismiss the “reckless driving” charge (which would have cost Mr. W. his license) in exchange for a simple traffic ticket.

State v. Ms. P.

DUI DISMISSED – State v. Ms. P. (Mesa Municipal Court No. 2002025698): Ms. P. was pulled over for driving in the bike path and almost hitting a sidewalk. Upon being contacted by the officers, she admitted she’d had one drink and also had some prescription drugs in her system. She later wrote a letter to the judge apologizing for driving “impaired.” After we took over the case, we were able to show the prosecutor that the prescription drugs in her system were legal, and that they would be hard-pressed to beat us in a trial to convince a jury she was impaired by those drugs. The prosecutor then moved to dismiss all charges.

State v. Ms. H (DMC No. 8184)

DISMISSED | POSSESSION of DRUG PARAPHERNALIA DISMISSED after EVIDENTIARY HEARING for UNREASONABLE STOP ISSUE – State v. Ms. H. (DMC No. 8184) (Mesa City Court 2007-044646): Police received a tip that people were supposedly buying and selling drugs behind a structure located at 240 W. Baseline Road in Mesa. Upon arrival, they walked up to Miss H.’s car and stopped her. They got her out of the car and did a “warrants check” (in which there were none). They then searched the car and her purse without her permission, and claimed to have found methamphetamine. We filed a Motion based upon No Reasonable Suspicion to Stop and the entire case was dismissed.

State v. Mr. W (DMC No. 4759)

NOT GUILTY/COMPLETE ACQUITTAL at BENCH TRIAL | TRESSPASS – State v. Mr. W. (DMC No. 4759) (Mesa City Court 2004022660): Two gentlemen were playing videos games when one gentleman went to the bathroom and noticed a bathroom window was now ajar. Both men ran outside, and saw a white male running away from the location. They then saw a vehicle leaving rapidly, and they followed it and called 911. Mr. W. was pulled over and denied being anywhere near their house, nor going through the window. At trial we were able to show that the fingerprints on the window did not match Mr. W., and the fact that he had a prior burglary conviction should not be taken into evidence. The Judge found him not guilty of all charges.

State v. Mr. D (DMC No. 7195)

DISMISSED | Criminal Damage, State v. Mr. D. (DMC No. 7195) (Mesa Municipal Court No. 2006-0055734): Mr. D. had been drinking with friends when he came across a hole that City workers had dug in order to repair a pipe. He was then seen taking a brick and smashing the pipe, causing a water leak. Police were called and he was charged with Criminal Damage. The witness was a two-time convicted felon living at a halfway house across the street. We were able to convince the prosecutors that they had an identification problem, and that a Diversion program allowing Mr. D. to earn a dismissal would be more appropriate. Ultimately, all charges were dismissed.

On the date of trial, all charges were dismissed.

State v. Mr. B (Case No. 2006056073)(DMC No.)

(Mesa Municipal Court No. 2006056073): Mr. B. was driving with his wife when another vehicle pulled out directly in front of him. The other vehicle kept cutting off Mr. B. and was slamming on his brakes. The other driver slammed on his brakes and caused Mr. B. to rear-end him. 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.
