In Arizona DUI Cases, Prosecutors Can Demand Jury Trial

In a new Arizona Supreme Court case, the court held that either the defendant OR the state can demand a jury trial. This precludes the tactic sometimes used by the defense of waiting for a good judge who is good for the facts of the case, and then unilaterally waiving jury trial. Now, if the prosecutor wants a jury trial in an Arizona DUI case, they will get one.
