- The State Bar is seeking to suspend Sponsel’s law license for two years with a key focus of their case on her prosecution of protesters in 2020.
April Sponsel deserves prison for false accusations and malicious prosecutions, NOT bar membership. Sponsel and the Phoenix cops that participated in this are guilty of organized crime. These people are abusive, narcissistic animals.
Yep and the people who lied still have authority over law abiding citizens. Corruption is damn near everywhere.
Is it just me or is Arizona Law Enforcement involved in a high number of dubious charges?
It’s not you. Phoenix police often arrest the wrong person & must be paying out $ millions in settlement per month!
Phoenix PD is the problem. Pima county doesn’t pull this crap.
DOJ is reviewing their BS criminal behavior.
I don't know. It might be that ABC15 is shining a light on things we'd never know about otherwise. The photographer at this protest who was charged with being a gang member got charges dismissed only after ABC15 publicized his case.
Depends on what you mean high number. Compared to many other jurisdictions it is about average or even low. Compared to what it should be, it is criminally high.
It was not policy to view all the evidence before charging someone with a crime. I thought it was just common sense. 😮
She , every cop , and anyone else involved in this CRIME should be charged with conspiracy to deprive all those people of their constitutional rights , false arrest ,and whatever else they can come up with ! Not just that prosecutor . She is just the scapegoat . They are ALL criminals !
I wish our news stations did this kind of reporting
I bet that Phoenix isn't necessarily worse than the criminal injustice system in some other cities. It might be that ABC15's investigations of the PD, DA's office, and judges and shining a light on their malfeasance just makes it look like Phoenix is particularly bad.
The city of Calgary, AB needs this
It looks like Mitchell is trying to save herself by throwing Sponsel under the bus after their plans were discovered. Awesome job Dave!
Very important work you and your reporters are doing. Please keep fighting the good fight and exposing these lying hypocrites!
One excuse after the other they’re all in bed together garbage in garbage out.
It starts with the cops.
They're only allowed to do what is permitted. So has the start at the top not the bottom.
Exactly.@@deeveevideos
Corruption is widespread....
It says a lot that I have no business or friends in Arizona, and haven't been in Arizona in more than 20 years, but I know Dave Biscobing's name from all his reports on extreme corruption in Arizona.
You would probably remember the Don Bolles case. He was the reporter who was killed in a car bombing at a local hotel in Phoenix some years ago.
I'll never forget how, when body cams first came out, that Law Enforcement 'publicly' stated that 'the public will see what the police have to deal with when it comes to criminals'.
However, I said to people I know that 'the cops are going to rue the day that body cams came into existence'. Why would I say that? Because I was never FOOLED by the fallacy that the police 'protected and served' anyone other than 1. those in power...2. big business/the rich...3. those in law enforcement. I KNEW that body cams would show how the cops really are when they encounter those that they felt were deserving of their brutality.
You're not real bright
@@danbonner7614 He actually is. There are plenty of places where they refuse to take advantage of federal program for. Body cam footage has been deleted.
@@charlesdoyle3630 You're not real bright either.
You can't keep your law licence when you intentionally violate the law.
They all do somehow, so clearly they can.
If they knew that police and prosecutors conspired to invent crimes, why didn’t they criminally charge them immediately?
She needs to lose her license, not just for this, but what she did to that woman who had a cop bolt in front of her car…
Disgraceful…
Sponsel should be in jail
All should have been charged for making up stories to hold those who shouldn’t have been held and charged with crimes not committed
Lawyers, prosecutors, all these supposedly highly educated people and they need a policy to tell them to take logical common sense steps.
Proverbs 17:12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
How come you left out the last sentence ? Are you sure you're using that verse in context ?
@@seymourbutts4654
I don't understand your question?
Is that not the whole verse and doesn't it stand alone?
The verse itself seems to be talking about good and evil not logic. @@amftpt
Mitchell deserves to be fired for malicious prosecution of people she knew to be innocent. She's a hypocrite and worse.
Dave a great journalist 😊
I was coerced by arizona prosecutors into taking a plea deal under false pretences.
GREAT JOB ABC15.......
Bus drivers, teachers and so forth have all "protest" and have never been called a "street-gang",
other cities have had protests about police and these as well have not been called a "street-gang"
please drill into them their logic over other protests
Big brother going after citizens for exercising their rights.
Why is Mitchell still an attorney? Shes crooked as she is heavy!
"A liar begins with making falsehood appear like truth, and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood." Shenstone. Cheers....
She needs to never be aloud in a courtroom again she’s an absolute disgrace
Notice how they aren't going after the dirty cops who were involved?
They all should be in prison for perjury
One crime against non criminal citrzens .
This woman said her office did nothinf unethical during all this crap too
Wilson deserves prison herself.
Maricopa County crime rate per capita is 40% higher than NYC.
Mitchel belongs in prison.
It’s now a policy to review all evidence including body cameras before bringing charges? Like saying we now look outside to see if it’s raining before we grab an umbrella. Because of this incident they had to change their policy? I would assume it would be just common sense to review all evidence before bringing charges, that this should be the policy of every prosecutors office in the country and shouldn’t be optional. Wouldn’t this help alleviate the backlog of cases in the courts if we didn’t need defense attorneys having to present this evidence for a case which never should have been filed in the first place to be dismissed.
I guess protecting criminals is the new justice
Surely you mean the criminals who lied about peaceful protestors to a grand jury. You failed to make that clear.
the united states wouldn't have a government if it stopped protecting criminals. protesting is the least of our worries. but im sure you've never committed a crime.
@polyclot1976 I never burned down buildings or resisted arrest! These criminals should be in jail. You're the problem with society. you're weak and prefer to hold no one accountable for their actions
@@polyclot1976 This had the potential to be an interesting exchange but now that you are making vague and irrational statements I think it best that I end my participation. I have never been arrested, charged and convicted of a crime which suffices in the vernacular to say I have never committed a crime.
Good bye and have this conversation with Kari Lake it will probably make sense to her..
@@hermanmiller3708 I have never been arrested, charged, or convicted of robbing a bank, so by your logic, I have never robbed a bank.
Miss you too and hope to God u will be there held tu thy always remember your name and your actions shall reep what you so
She is the absolute worst
And we out here in fly over country can now understand how Hobbs won the election for Gov..
Maricopa County - When the overwhelming number of people around you are Socialists/Communists and you then call yourself a Socialist/Communist it is no longer a revolution, and you are not a rebel. You are a conformist, like a well-heeled dog.
But the majority of people around us are corporatists.... the United States is the most corporate society that's ever existed. I'm sure the elite appreciate you looking the wrong way.
This is why Afghan Taliban don't have women in law or government.
Dave, keep up the good investigations. We definately need more exposure of the corruption within the Phoenix police department and the justice system. Innocent till proven guilty doesn't seem to apply in Phoenix.
This women (Mitchell) could have been a good consort for a Adolf H.. Not only for this case but for several other cases. What a Gestapo figure. 🤮
But we have a two tiered justice system system correct?? Where Donald Trump gets the worst treatment of any American. Wtf. Our country is so lost.
