My appeal has been decided!

By public defender blogger AZ Public Defender:

After close to two years of litigation, the case has finally come to a close. Here is an article about how things ended: Bystander to Wildlife Shooting Has Conviction Overturned or Another Article.

The
person who pulled the trigger got no jail and close to $5000 in fines
pursuant to a plea agreement. The two friends who were with him, and
told him not to shoot, were sentenced to jail time. Mine went to trial
and got 30 days jail and about $2600 in fines. The remaining
co-defendant, who was supposed to be tried the next day, watched the
trial and decided to take a plea for 10 days jail and fines. Because of
the appeal, my client, thankfully, never served a day. The State
dismissed the only charge remanded for new trial.
