 Hi, I'm David Cantor with the Law Offices of David Michael Cantor today. I'm going to talk about the crime of endangerment now in Arizona and Endangerment is defined as recklessly Endangering another person with a substantial risk of death or serious physical injury now extreme indifference means a gross deviation of The norm of your conduct so extreme indifference to human life could be taken or injured now You have to consciously disregard that risk, which is a substantial and unjustifiable risk Okay, what does that mean? Look if you're on the freeway and you're traveling 120 miles per hour That's probably going to be endangerment if you're traveling 45 miles per hour But it's through a school zone, which is 15 miles per hour during school hours Whether there's a crossing guard that could be endangerment now If you're charged with endangerment and you've used a dangerous instrument that could be a car It could be a knife. It could be a gun. It could be a bat You're facing six months to two years in prison if you're charged excuse me with a felony if you're Charged with endangerment felony and there is no dangerous instrument then your probation eligible You can get probation zero days in jail up to a year in jail Okay, that's up to the judge if it's misdemeanor endangerment you can do up to six months in jail Now the defenses include that there was no gross deviation of the standard of conduct and that you were not a Substantial and unjustifiable risk that this is overcharged that it should have simply been a reckless driving Because if you're going fast on the road and weaving in and out, it's not necessarily endangerment. We've been on you know the the Freeway where it's 65 somebody's going 90 miles per hour Yes, it's criminal speeding and they're going in between traffic and weaving that doesn't mean they're endangering other people But it can be reckless driving and that's just a misdemeanor We also look for supervening causes accident reconstructions all sorts of different experts We can use if there's an accident Also, if it involves a car go to our vehicular section and look at vehicular endangerment in that section We look at blood alcohol challenges black box or statistical Diagnostical module challenges a human factors experts that can show that nobody can have reached the brake pedal that quick or that in essence people could have Stopped and they were not in danger accident reconstruction Reconstructionists evidence spoilization experts Miranda rights violations denial of right to counsel violations We look at them all go to our victory section and you're going to see we have over 20 sample wins of all different types Regarding Endangerments of other types of cases.
