My son got a DUI related charges in 2010. After a not guilt plea and after multiple unsuccessful attempts to communicate with his first public defendant he was forced fire ("waive the right to council") for his first two public defenders. He did, however, get them to "start the clock": a motion under Rule 8 (right to a speedy trial). He simply wanted his lawyer(s) to subpoena all signed paper work including all documents and AZPOST certifications etc, everything the prosecution is supposed to have in the discovery period which is way before the trial. This is where they began to really drag their feet and not communicate. It really makes one wonder who they are really defending. He then got Elizabeth Brunner for a public defender. She was able to resist the impulse to make a deal behind closed doors with the prosecution as we saw them try at the last hearing. That seems to be so very common in their business. On his last hearing, as it never went to trail, Beth presented the facts that prosecution never produced any of the subpoenaed material and that time was already up under rule 8. Prosecutor was obviously overworked, disorganized or thinking we would just reschedule again, not so. Judge decided to dismiss with prejudice. That means it cannot be brought up in that court again. You should have seen the look that the prosecutor lady gave us as we were leaving the court house downstairs. It was truly the "evil eye", almost as if we were trying to destroy her carrier an she swore vengeance. I'm not exaggerating. Just now, Beth has promptly returned my call.This was about the civil side of this nightmare known as MVD. She explained that we have togo to MVD because his license is still suspended! This was my son's fault for not doing what Beth told him to do back after dismissal. We're to pay the reinstatement fee and have them "Void the suspension". Thank you Beth Brunner.
