On July 6, U.S. District Judge Roslyn O. Silver ruled that NSB client Debra Milke had properly alleged three separate theories of widespread systemic misconduct in the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, dating long before and long after Ms. Milke’s 1990 wrongful conviction. Overall, Judge Silver has ruled that Ms. Milke has stated viable claims for violations of her constitutional rights by Phoenix Police Department Detective Armando Saldate and his immediate supervisor, as well as against the Phoenix Police Department and the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for their role in covering up Saldate’s pattern and practice of unconstitutional misconduct.
