Arizona Supreme Court Issues Argument Summaries for January 11
The Arizona Supreme Court has issued summaries of the cases to be argued on Tuesday, January 11. The Court will hear argument in two cases: (1) Kent K. and Sherry K. v. Bobby M., involving the question of whether a petitioner seeking severance of a parent's parental rights must show by "clear and convincing evidence" that severance is in the child's best interest, and (2) State v. Rivera, involving the question of whether the existence of "consistency agreements," requiring witnesses to testify consistently with their prior statements or risk losing their plea agreements, required that the defendant convicted on the basis of such witnesses' testimony receive a new trial. The Court's argument summaries are prepared for educational purposes and do not constitute official commentary by the Court or any member of the Court.
