Maricopa County Accused of Threatening Defendants Into Waiving Due Process Rights

Maricopa County Accused of Threatening Defendants Into Waiving Due Process Rights The class says the county is pressuring criminal defendants to waive their rights to a preliminary hearing in order to clear a case backlog. (CN) Arizona s Maricopa County Early Disposition Courts process more than 32,000 criminal complaints each year. And according to a class action filed Wednesday, in order to process more cases faster the county attorney’s office threatens criminal defendants with more severe sentences to coerce them into waiving their right to a preliminary hearing. “Maricopa County Attorney’s Office has sabotaged the intended purpose of the Early Disposition Courts and has used it to their advantage to secure quick convictions without regard for the constitutional rights of people who are accused of crimes,” said Jared Keenan, senior staff attorney for the ACLU of Arizona in a statement.

ACLU lawsuit challenges Maricopa County Attorney s Office plea deals

View Comments The American Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint against the Maricopa County Attorney s Office, alleging that prosecutors are misusing a pre-trial court process to get thousands to plead guilty without hearings or further evidence being disclosed. The complaint, filed Wednesday in federal court, was brought forward by the ACLU and ACLU of Arizona. It calls into question the Attorney s Office s plea policy in the early disposition courts.  The lawsuit seeks class certification and injunctive relief to stop MCAO’s retaliation policy in order to protect people’s constitutional rights, the ACLU said in a statement. Jared Keenan, lead attorney for the case and senior staff attorney for the ACLU of Arizona, said early disposition courts are high-volume, quick-moving courts where hearings take place early in the judicial process.
