Pima County Attorney Laura Conover is emphasizing the importance of red flag laws and a bill that failed to pass in Arizona.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Yesterday the University of Arizona sent out a letter to students and staff addressing the steps they took before the shooting of Professor Dr. Thomas Meixner.
The U of A also pursued charges against Dervish with the Pima County Attorney’s Office but they declined to move forward. “The evidence presented to us may have been only a piece of the evidence available, but what was sent to us did not rise to a criminal charge,” said Conover. “Here is the bottom line. There were injunctions against harassment that were granted and never even served. Had we even been able to charge a criminal complaint, it would have been in the same envelope with the injunctions with the constable's office, that was never served.
