Our Results
NOT GUILTY AT TRIAL: 1 COUNT POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA, 1 COUNT POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA. Maricopa County.
The residence of A.C. was raided by federal agents for an unrelated issue. Once inside, Officers found Marijuana and Paraphernalia. A.C. was a Medical Marijuana Cardholder. Under the Medical Marijuana Act, a cardholder can only have up to 2.5 ounces in their possession. The State claimed that A.C. had 3.7 ounces. At trial, we were able to successfully argue that the State did not meet their burden of proving the weight of usable Marijuana was above 2.5 ounces as defined in the Statute. The State’s criminalist had failed to remove seeds, stems, and debris prior to weighing the Marijuana.
FULL ACQUITTAL AT TRIAL: 3 COUNTS AGGRAVATED ASSAULT – DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
Maricopa County. State v. M.M. MM was accused of 3 counts of Aggravated Assault resulting from injuries sustained to his girlfriend in their residence. Police were called to the scene by the girlfriend’s father, who told police MM was the reason she had suffered facial injuries. Inside the residence, the police found blood in the bathroom and MM asleep. Police arrested MM and conducted no further investigation. At trial, it was learned that the girlfriend had consumed so much alcohol that she blacked out. The blood was found in the bathroom, and a plausible explanation was that she fell and hit the tub, as the injuries were consistent. At the end of the day, the jury believed there was no investigation done to show that MM was the cause of the injuries.
DISMISSAL: KIDNAP, ARMED ROBBERY, AGGRAVATED ASSAULT. Maricopa County. State v Sampson CR2011-165666.
Sampson was facing serious charges and mandatory prison time. The State’s case made it seem as though all of the charges were in relation to a bad drug transaction. However, after speaking with witnesses and our client, it was determined that the initial report was flawed. Through weeks of investigation, it was determined that the source of the information was extremely unreliable. The case was dismissed on the day of trial.
DISMISSAL: MISCONDUCT INVOLVING WEAPONS. Maricopa County, State v. Sanchez CR2013-449959.
Sanchez was charged with Misconduct Involving Weapons after he had called police to the scene of a disorderly conduct issue. When police arrived, they noted that Sanchez was carrying a firearm. Upon pulling his record, they determined he had a felony conviction. The prior conviction was a Class 6 undesignated offense. Mr. Sanchez had successfully completed probation and believed that the offense was designated a misdemeanor. The state’s initial offer was prison. After some hard work and due diligence, it was determined that there was an oversight with the offense not being designated a misdemeanor upon Mr. Sanchez’s release from probation. After being able to successfully designate the offense to a misdemeanor, we were able to have the charge dismissed.
DISMISSAL: SEXUAL INDECENCY. Maricopa County, State v. S.L.
The allegations were that while visiting her husband in a prison complex, S.L. had exposed his genitals at visitation while children were outside. After actively fighting this case for 2 years, the State offered a misdemeanor plea to disorderly conduct with no sex terms. With only one individual claiming to witness the allegation, we conducted numerous trips to the prison for interviews with inmates who were outside during the alleged incident. The state dismissed the charges 10 days before the trial.
