Yes, if sentence<br />

intent<br />
Yes as COV if 1-<br />

Yes as COV if 1-<br />
yr or more<br />
sentence<br />
imposed. May<br />
not be COV if<br />
record leaves<br />
open possibility<br />
that structure is<br />
owned by<br />
defendant <strong>and</strong> is<br />
unoccupied.<br />
Maybe as<br />
obstruction of<br />
justice if violation<br />
of court order<br />
<strong>and</strong> sentence of<br />
365<br />
Maybe COV if<br />
felony <strong>and</strong> 1-yr or<br />
more sentence.<br />
May not be COV<br />
if restraint by<br />
deception or<br />
intimidation. But<br />
leave record<br />
clear of details.<br />
E.g., storeowner<br />
or officer making<br />
an improper<br />
detention might<br />
use legal<br />
“intimidation” but<br />
not <strong>for</strong>ce.<br />
Probably as COV<br />
if 1-yr or more<br />
sentence<br />
imposed; or if<br />
ransom<br />
involved,<br />
regardless of<br />
sentence.<br />
Yes with 365 as<br />
obstruction of<br />
justice<br />
Probably not but<br />
ICE may argue it<br />
is, try to keep<br />
minor’s age out<br />
of record)<br />

DOMESTIC<br />
VIOLENCE,<br />
DRUGS, FIREARMS,<br />
OTHER<br />
ADVICE<br />
Probably. No. Obtain 364 or less <strong>and</strong><br />
plead to recklessness or<br />
intent to insult/provoke<br />
Yes<br />
Probably a<br />
CMT, but<br />
possible B is<br />
not CMT so<br />
leave record<br />
vague.<br />
Probably not<br />
since no intent<br />
required<br />
Probably not,<br />
although some<br />
AZ judges<br />
have so held.<br />
Yes<br />
Probably<br />
Probably not<br />
(but to be sure,<br />
try to keep<br />
minor’s age<br />
out of record)<br />
Deportable under<br />
firearms ground, also<br />
under DV if record<br />
shows dom relationship<br />
Deportable under<br />
firearms ground.<br />
Unlikely, but perhaps as<br />
“child abuse.”<br />
At risk of DV deportable<br />
if 13-3601. If 13-3601,<br />
plead to misdo with<br />
record showing possible<br />
restraint by deception or<br />
other non-violent means<br />
to give imm atty’s an<br />
argument. May also be<br />
deportable as child<br />
abuse if victim was a<br />
child.<br />
DV if record shows<br />
domestic relationship.<br />
Possibly as DV child<br />
abuse<br />
Conceivably deportable<br />
<strong>for</strong> child abuse if V is<br />
child; attempt to keep<br />
age out of record<br />
To avoid AF, obtain 364 or<br />
less.<br />
To avoid AF, obtain 364 or<br />
less <strong>and</strong>/or show that<br />
structure not inhabited <strong>and</strong><br />
is owned by defendant. To<br />
attempt to avoid a CMT, try<br />
to leave record vague<br />
between A (residence) <strong>and</strong><br />
B (non-residence).<br />
Avoid <strong>reference</strong> to violation<br />
of a court order <strong>and</strong> 365<br />
Misdo unlawful imprison<br />
effected by deceit is a<br />
relatively good alternative<br />
to a violent or sex offense.<br />
Felony restraint by deceipt<br />
might be termed a crime of<br />
violence. See Note: Safer<br />
Pleas/Violence. Leave<br />
record clear of details as<br />
much as possible.<br />
See misdo unlawful<br />
imprisonment to perhaps<br />
avoid DV. Avoid 1-yr<br />
sentence to avoid agg<br />
felony.<br />
Potentially a better plea<br />
than kidnapping, depending<br />
on length of sentence.<br />
Keep record clear of<br />
egregious details, try to<br />
plead to language of the<br />
statute. Safer plea:<br />
