A missed deadline at the Maricopa County Attorney's Office means nearly 200 criminal charges have reportedly been dropped in the county, not holding some criminals responsible and victims losing possible justice.
Attorney's Office means nearly 200 criminal charges have reportedly been dropped in the county.
"In the state of everything going on and what we’ve seen in the last year of that office, it doesn’t surprise me," said Jack Litwak with Litwak Law Group. An investigation uncovered the county attorney's office had to drop 180 misdemeanor cases including, drunk driving and domestic assault cases, because prosecutors forgot to file charges before a deadline passed.
"Here you have 180 people who have been arrested, investigated and yet nothing is going to ever come of it. Not for them, not for the people who were victims of these crimes. It’s tragic," Moring said.
