Significant Cases

...held that the State must comply with established deadlines for filing a notice of intent to seek the death penalty (Barrs v Wilkinson 186 Ariz. 514, 924 P.2d 1033, 1996).
...agreed that the statute under which a client was charged was too broadly applied by the trial court and ordered the case dismissed (Mejak v. Granville, 212 Ariz. 555, 136 P.3d 874, 2006).
...prohibited the use of ‘consistency’ plea agreements (State v. Fisher, 176 Ariz. 69, 859 P.2d 179 (1993).
