☆ Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs revokes authority of counties to pursue abortion-related prosecutions
  + stars: | 2023-06-24 | by ( John L. Dorman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Katie Hobbs signed an order blocking county attorneys from prosecuting abortion-related cases. Hobbs has shifted the authority of such cases to the Arizona attorney general's office. Katie Hobbs of Arizona on Friday signed an executive order that bars local prosecutors from pursuing abortion-related crimes, a move that seeks to fortify abortion rights in the politically-competitive swing state. In the executive order, the Democratic governor has stripped the authority of prosecutors and subsequently shifted powers to the state's attorney general, Democrat Kris Mayes. The Arizona legislature is still controlled by Republicans, with Hobbs serving as a check on any conservative legislation that comes to her desk.

☆ Arizona Governor Says Prosecutors Cannot Enforce Abortion Law
  + stars: | 2023-06-23 | by ( Jack Healy | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Mr. Volkmer, a Republican, said abortion cases were a low priority, and that he generally did not want to come between women and their doctors. But he said most criminal cases belonged with local prosecutors, and said the attorney general’s office was “certainly not equipped” to handle abortion-related cases. There have not been any abortion prosecutions in Arizona since Roe was struck down, legal experts said, and most counties in Arizona do not even have abortion clinics. The state’s abortion providers are clustered around Phoenix and Tucson. Ms. Hobbs won her campaign for governor last year in part by promising to protect abortion rights and reproductive freedom, but the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature has limited what she and other Democrats can do.

A fourth grade student was charged on two felony counts after allegedly bringing a firearm to school in August, an Arizona prosecutor's office announced Monday. The charges stem from an Aug. 25 incident at Legacy Traditional School. Queen Creek Police Department said they responded to the school after reports a student had a firearm, NBC affiliate KPNX reported at the time. “Given the inherent danger involved with a gun being on a school campus, PCAO must take this seriously,” Volkmer said in Monday's press release. The Pinal County Attorney's office did not have additional information regarding representation.
