State vs. Mr. G (DMC No. 10117)

REDUCED | PUBLIC SEXUAL INDECENCY – State vs. Mr. G. (DMC No. 10117) (Mesa City Court No. 2011-039996): Mr. G. was in a vehicle with another woman when an officer assigned to the central street crimes unit in Mesa walked by his car.  He claimed that he saw the woman’s head in Mr. G.’s lap.  Based on that, he then arrested both and charged them with Public Sexually Indecency.  We were able to show the prosecutor that the officer never actually saw Mr. G.’s penis, therefore the case was overcharged.  The prosecutor agreed to reduce it down to a simple Disorderly Conduct and Dismiss the sex crime.

State V. Mr. J (DMC No. 9674)

Mr. J. was accused of traveling through a neighborhood and committing sex acts inside of his car in front of 3 different girls. When the girls were interviewed by Detectives, they were presented with a photo of a registered a registered sex offender in the neighborhood, and they all identified this person instead of Mr. J. When that person had an alibi, they checked various vehicle descriptions and located Mr. J through his vehicle. The Detectives indicated that Mr. J confessed to all the crimes when interviewed by them. He was subsequently arrested and charged with Public Sexual Indecency under Arizona Revised Statute ARS 13-1403(A)(1).

At Trial, we argued that the offense the girls were describing was Indecent Exposure and not Public Sexual Indecency, (since there was no actual sex act involved). In addition, we pointed out that they had identified somebody completely different than Mr. J. when shown the original photo lineup. Lastly, we argued that this so called confession by the Detectives was never recorded, as would be standard procedure, and therefore was very suspect. The Jury agreed and Mr. J was found Not Guilty of the charge.

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

REDUCED | DUI (.088 BAC) (030053CR): Mr. R. was stopped by Mesa Police during an East Valley DUI Task Force. The officer claimed his headlights were not on. He subsequently provided a blood sample which revealed .088 BAC. After all defense interviews were complete, we convinced the prosecutor the State would probably not prevail at Jury Trial and were able to secure a plea to Reckless Driving with zero days in jail.

State v. Mr. O. (DMC No. 6239)

Mr. O was driving a commercial truck which had a heavy loader improperly secured on the flatbed. He was then pulled over and written numerous tickets under Arizona Revised Statute ARS 13-5204. The code violations included No Log Book under 395.(8)(A); a Fuel Line Violation under 393.65(F); Improper Chains on Load under 393.130(C); Defective Brake Warning Device under 393.51; Brakes Out of Adjustment under 396.3(A)(1); and Unsafe Operation of a Vehicle under 396.7. If Mr. O had been held responsible for all of these violations, it would have caused him thousands of dollars and the loss of his Commercial Driver’s License. By reducing all charges to 1 Count of Unsafe Operation, he paid a small fine and kept his driving privileges.

State v. Mr. R (DMC No. 5319)

Mr. R was undergoing Xanax withdrawals when he walked into an Old Chicago restaurant in Mesa, Arizona. Somebody called the Police claiming that Mr. R was acting erratically and when they arrived at the restaurant they saw Mr. R fleeing on foot. He was eventually chased down, thrown to the ground and taken into custody. While he was being arrested, he began to struggle and Officers charged him with Obstructing Governmental Operations under Arizona Revised Statute ARS 13-2402(A)(2) and Disorderly Conduct under Arizona Revised Statute ARS 13-2904.

We were able to provide Prosecutor with evidence that Mr. R was detoxing from Xanax which could cause paranoia. We also presented evidence that he was talking erratically on the night that he was arrested. We then showed them that it’s inappropriate to charge someone with Obstructing a Government Operation under the Statute. The Prosecutor agreed to dismiss all charges against Mr. R. if he would remain law abiding for a short period of time and take some classes to deal with his Xanax addiction issues.

State v. Mr. W (DMC No. 10168)

NOT CHARGED/DISMISSED | AGGRAVATED DUI NOT CHARGED/MISDEMEANOR DUI – State v. Mr. W. (DMC No. 10168) (Mesa City Court 2008-046536): Mr. w. was accused of taking a large U-Haul truck through a fast food drive thru and striking the roof.  When police arrived, they contacted Mr. W. outside of his vehicle and he invoked his right to counsel.  Mr. W. was unable to contact an attorney. The City Prosecutors Officer mistakenly accused Mr. W. of having a suspended driver license for a previous DUI.  They then dismissed the misdemeanor in order to route the case for felony charges.  Due to the fact that Mr. W. did not have a suspended license, the fact that he had problems reaching an attorney, and the fact that the State had trouble contacting the witness who was to place Mr. W. behind the wheel, no felony charges were ever brought against Mr. W., and the misdemeanor statute of limitations ran.

State v. Mr. R (DMC No.)

(Mesa Municipal Court No. 2003075844CR): Mr. R. was stopped for allegedly making a wide right turn. When the officer stopped him, he claimed he had watery, bloodshot eyes and an odor of alcohol. During the eye test (HGN), Mr. R. exhibited only 4 cues out of 6, and he had a knee injury. Due to the fact that he had a low BAC, combined with our arguments to the prosecutor about his good performance on the remaining FST’s, the State dismissed all charges.

State v. Mr. E. (DMC No.)

DUI DISMISSED – State v. Mr. E. (Mesa Municipal Court No. 2006059355): Mr. E. pulled up to a 7-11 store at 815 S. Dobson Rd. Various people called police because they felt he was impaired. When officers arrived, he was seen exiting the 7-11 with a handgun tucked in his back pocket. Officers subsequently arrested him for DUI and pulled the security footage showing him driving up to the 7-11. Once he was taken to the station he spoke to our attorney via telephone and then requested to have an independent blood test. The officers told him that they would deal with it down at the jail, and he was booked overnight. The jail staff never helped him secure an independent test, and we were able to file a Motion in which the judge dismissed all charges.
