Understanding diversion programs in Arizona
Some people in Arizona who are arrested on criminal charges may face lengthy trials to determine the outcomes of their cases. Concerns about extensive penalties associated with trials along with the general stress of the experience can make this an option many people wish to avoid. Some defendants may be able to participate in what are known as diversion programs instead of having to undergo a full trial.
Death sentence may be overturned by new evidence
Arizona residents who find themselves accused of criminal charges can sometimes feel there is no hope for a successful defense. It is important for all persons to remember that a defense is their right under the law and that even includes the appeal process. This is the case regardless of the nature of the alleged offenses including theft, murder, drug crimes and more.
