Arm Yourself With Information
Sentencing is one of a defense attorney's most important jobs because most cases either plead or result in convictions at trial. To help achieve a fair, just sentence for attorneys' clients, R3 Investigations is pleased to provide a new tool that has not been previously available. (See a sample sentencing analysis.)
That tool is a sentencing analysis derived, in part, from data we've compiled on every sentencing in the Maricopa County Superior Court during the last five years. That's 184,000 cases.
Using that data and court records, we can provide a variety of analyses – starting with a breakdown of typical sentences for particular charges and rising to a more complex analysis in which we compare the circumstances of a client's case to the sentences imposed in similar cases. This could not be done previously with publicly available data.
This analysis arms a criminal defense attorney with information needed to analyze plea offers, present arguments during settlement conferences, or address the sentencing judge. It can also be used in post conviction for proportionality challenges.
It is also helpful to show clients cases similar to their and review the factors that led to the sentences. The result is that the client will have more realistic expectations as the case moves forward.
