Arizona Republic headline "The highest paid snitch in DEA history gave false testimony, now he has resurfaced in Phoenix”
Jun 05, 2013OUTCOME: Court dismissed the case
On 6/5/13 the Arizona Republic ran a front page story on a snitch that the DEA attempted to use to convict one of our clients in a drug case. We found out that this confidential informant had committed ... perjury in numerous cases from 1985 through 2000 and had been fired as a confidential informant before being brought back by the DEA. We filed a motion to dismiss the case and sent copies to the press and every government official we could think of. The day after the story ran on the front page the Arizona District Attorney dismissed the case.
