The victim told police her boyfriend had been drinking all day and had become abusive and confrontational.
She said he had thrown a cell phone charger and said he then grabbed her by her hair, dragged her into a bedroom and threw her against a wall hard enough to make a large hole. The man also tried to choke the victim.

Johnny Wade McCaulley, 37, was booked on charges of aggravated assault, criminal damage and disorderly conduct.

In many cases, prosecutors will file charges against the alleged abuser and aggressively pursue the case, even if the victim does not wish to press charges and refuses to actively participate in the prosecution. Nowadays, the State brings the criminal charges, not the victim.

The consequence of a domestic violence conviction can be very severe. A conviction could result in limitations in child visitation rights, mandatory counseling, loss of gun privileges, probation, jail or in the most serious cases a prison sentence. Domestic violence cases involving an injury or weapon are often prosecuted as felonies.

Prosecutors can approach a mail fraud charge in two different ways: a “money or property approach,” or premised upon a deprivation of “honest services.”

The “honest services” approach takes its case from the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. This provided the phrase, “scheme or artifice to defraud,” (which includes a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right to honest services).
In 1994 an amendment to the statute inserted language to include anything that was transported with a commercial carrier, expanding the definition and scope of the law beyond regular US Postal Service mail.

The courts have struggled with a broad interpretation of the statute and appear receptive to any claims that will place constraints on a charge being categorized as mail fraud. Arizona White Crime Lawyers can use this as leverage by arguing whether his or her client’s case applies to the statute.

If you are facing mail charge allegations, your best option if to find a lawyer that knows the right arguments for your best interest. The Law Offices of Howard Snader has successfully represented white collar crime clients using these arguments. Contact us today to get help with your white collar crime allegations.

Swedo’s scam involved filing phony claims for windshield repairs using the names of at least 200 policyholders, including victims from Pima, Cochise, Pinal, Yavapai and Maricopa counties.

A Maricopa County Superior Court judge sentenced Swedo, 36, Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to fraudulent schemes for submitting fake claims to insurance. He also committed identity theft to set up a false business under a bogus name.

Swedo had been reased from prison in 2008 for armed robbery and aggravated assault in Maricopa County. Apparently he didn’t learn from his mistakes.
