Judge’s lax inquiry leads to new trial
A man convicted of transporting more than 240 pounds of marijuana in Cochise County with another person will get a new trial because he didn’t have his own attorney.
The Arizona Supreme Court acknowledged that David J. Duffy did consent to being represented by Ivan Abrams even though Abrams was representing co-defendant Dora Matias.
But Justice Clint Bolick, writing for the unanimous court, said Cochise County Superior Court Judge James Conlogue should never have allowed that, at least not without further review. Bolick said that precluded some defense options for Duffy.
Court records show Duffy was driving his vehicle in Cochise County in 2017 with Matias in the passenger seat.

PHOENIX A retired Border Patrol agent arrested in connection with rapes two decades ago in at least four Arizona communities has been denied bail following a hearing that included testimony from one distraught victim and details of a struggle during the arrest.
Judge Timothy Dickerson of Cochise County Superior Court ruled Thursday that John Daly III, 57, would remain in custody on sexual assault and other counts stemming from a 2001 attack on a Bisbee woman, Herald/Review Media reported.
Mesa police announced on May 4 that Daly, who lives in the unincorporated community of Hereford near Sierra Vista, had been arrested in the Bisbee case and was arrested or suspected in seven rapes that occurred from 1999 to 2001 in the Phoenix suburbs of Mesa, Gilbert and Chandler.
