Attorney General Mayes Releases Statement on Rulings in Cochise County Election Interference Case
PHOENIX – Attorney General Kris Mayes released a statement following rulings in the election interference case against Cochise County Supervisors Peggy Judd and Tom Crosby.
Maricopa County Judge Geoffrey Fish denied motions by Supervisors Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd to dismiss the charges against them or to send the matter back to the Grand Jury. The state has accused the defendants of engaging in felony conspiracy and election interference after the 2022 election.
"This is a serious case, and the charges have merit. Today's ruling by the court supports that," said Attorney General Mayes. "While the defendants are innocent until proven guilty, as are all defendants in our criminal justice system, my office is prepared to move forward with this case and pursue justice for the people of Arizona."
Motions to Dismiss: Judd, Crosby.
Motions to Remand: Judd, Crosby.
