TRAFFICKING in STOLEN PROPERTY ($38,000), THEFT and BURGLARY REDUCED to ATTEMPT with PROBATION and 30 DAYS of DEFERRED JAIL – State v. Mr. BH; State v. Mr. CH; State v. AM (DMC No. 6017, 6024, 5993) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2004-023984-002; 003; 004): BH, CM, and AM were all college roommates who had gone into the Estanzia Golf Club and had stolen $38,000 worth of golf clubs and golf bags. They were then attempting to sell the items to various people when the police were contacted. Although they were all three charged with Trafficking in Stolen Property and Theft, we were able to show that due to their immaturity and youthful indiscretion they deserved not to be sent to prison and to have a much lesser charge. The Prosecutor agreed to give them each a plea to Attempt with 30 days of Deferred Jail. If they were successfully completing Probation and paying back the restitution, then the jail would be “Deleted”. It ultimately was Deleted, and they never had to do any time in custody.
