Legal Question in Criminal Law in Arizona
my son was arrested Sept 2010 for possesion of drugs in Phoenix, AZ. He went to court in Scottsdale for possesion of prescription drugs and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor 2 and fulfilled the courts requirements on Feb 2012. On 7/3/2012 he just recieved a new summons from the State of AZ for 3 counts of Felony drug possesion, it was for the same crime the same day. Is that Double Jeopardy?
1 Answer from Attorneys
I would need to much more detail to accurately answer the question, but given what you have posted here, it does sound like it would be double jeopardy; or at least there is a very good argument to be made in that regard. I suggest you seek and consult an attorney directly so that he/she can fully assess your case and assure good representation and defense.
