| AZ: Illegal Immigrants May Be Tried In Absentia |
| 2005-09-09 |
| Illegal immigrants who fail to appear for their trials can now be tried in Absentia. The Arizona Court of Appeals has overturned a lower court ruling in a case involving an illegal immigrant who was charged with drug possession. Juan Lugo posted bail and quickly asked to be deported back to Mexico, which he was. When officials tried to prosecute him in Absentia, they were denied by the lower court. |
