The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office is rebuffing a judge’s request to notify defendants in past convictions that a leading Phoenix homicide detective had a history of misconduct and lied about it.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Kevin Wein made the request back in September in an order overturning a conviction.
Wein ruled that evidence about Det. Jennifer DiPonzio’s history of misconduct should not have been hidden from the defense and asked for it to be disclosed in all her cases.
