Will the Maricopa County Attorney be forced to testify in protest case evidentiary hearing?

PHOENIX — Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell and other top prosecutors will be subpoenaed to testify in a special evidentiary hearing to determine whether charges against dozens of pro-Palestine protesters were retaliatory.

The court ruled that state law requires county attorney’s office officials to take the stand under an Arizona law that aims to protect people from prosecution for exercising their First Amendment rights.

"It’s this court’s finding that fundamentally the defense has met their burden… warranting an evidentiary hearing,” said University Lakes Court Justice of the Peace Tyler Kissell.
