Description
Steven Pool (defendant) and Kevin Phillips (who received permission to intervene) were charged with "a violation of A.R.S. § 13-1802" (theft). At trial, defendant objected to the conduct of the prosecutor and moved for a mistrial; the motion was granted. The prosecution then obtained a second indictment, specifying other charges, which was dismissed without prejudice. The prosecution now seeks to try defendant on a new indictment. Defendant moved for dismissal on the grounds of double jeopardy and prosecutorial vindictiveness. The trial court denied his motion and defendant sought relief by special action. Since defendant has no adequate remedy by appeal and the question presented is of constitutional significance, we have accepted jurisdiction. We have jurisdiction pursuant to Rule 8, Rules of Procedure for Special Actions, 17A A.R.S., and Ariz. Const. art. 6, § 5.
