Phoenix PD and Maricopa County Attorney's Office are at it again.
An incompetent homicide detective was allowed to retire on disability (despite not being disabled) after it was revealed that she had botched multiple cases by not properly logging evidence, falsifying reports and lying under oath.
One conviction has already been overturned due to her misconduct, but the local prosecutor's office is defying a court order to notify other defendants in cases that she handled of her misconduct.
Not only is this contempt of court, but it's literally an
unconstitutional violation of due process.
Also, the only reason that the ex-detective even became a homicide detective in the first place is because she's married to a deputy chief in the department, who got her an unjustified promotion and assignment to homicide.
