Arizona official who delayed county’s 2022 election certification didn’t have immunity, court says
PHOENIX (AP) — An appeals court has rejected an Arizona official’s argument that felony charges against him for delaying certification of his rural county’s 2022 election results should be dismissed because he has legislative immunity.
In an order Tuesday, the Arizona Court of Appeals concluded Cochise County Supervisor Tom Crosby’s duty to certify the election results wasn’t discretionary. The court also said certifying election results is an administrative responsibility and that legislative immunity doesn’t apply to Crosby’s situation.
Crosby and Cochise County Supervisor Peggy Judd, both Republicans, were criminally charged after they balked at certifying the results. Two months ago, Judd pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of failing to perform her duty as an election officer and was sentenced to probation.

Crosby has pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy and interference with an election officer. His trial is scheduled for Jan. 30.
Dennis Wilenchik, one of Crosby’s lawyers, said his client will ask the state Supreme Court to review the matter. Wilenchik said moving the certification’s date by a few days wasn’t a criminal act and that Crosby should be immunized.
“If it’s just a rubber stamp then why is it (certification) needed at all?” Wilenchik said.
The Cochise County results were ultimately certified past the deadline after a judge ordered Judd and Crosby to carry out their legal duties. Judd and Supervisor Ann English, the board’s lone Democrat, finally approved the canvass, allowing the statewide certification to go forward as scheduled.

TEMPE, AZ — Arizona State is hiring Grand Canyon’s Molly Miller as its next women’s basketball coach.
Miller replaces Natasha Adair, who was fired earlier this month after going 29-62 in three seasons.
Miller had a successful run across town at GCU, leading the Lopes to their first Western Athletic Conference title and NCAA Tournament appearance this season. Grand Canyon took a 30-game winning streak into the NCAA Tournament before losing to Baylor in the first round.
The 38-year-old Miller went 117-38 in five seasons at GCU after a program-best 32-3 this year.
“We would like to thank coach Molly Miller for leading our program for five seasons, culminating in the first conference title and NCAA Tournament appearance for women’s basketball,” GCU athletic director Jamie Boggs said in a statement on Saturday. “We wish her the best in her new opportunity.”
Miller previously coached at her alma mater, leading Division II Drury to a 180-17 record in six seasons.
An Arizona yoga teacher has been missing for nearly a month after setting out for a blind date in Phoenix, leaving his family and friends desperate for answers.
Marcus Freiberger, 45, was last seen on 21 February when he left to meet someone, but he never returned. His father, Dutch Freiberger, fears the worst, especially since Marcus’ beloved two-year-old dog, Thomas, was found alone for days, the New York Post reported.
“There’s no reason for him to disappear,” Dutch told 12 News. “Even if he did decide to go somewhere, he would’ve at least called his friend to take Thomas. That makes me really think there’s something more going on here, foul play of some sort.”
The “handsome” and “heavily loved” had recently started working at a local yoga studio, quickly becoming a favourite among clients. He was between apartments when he vanished and had previously faced struggles with drugs and financial issues. However, his father insists he was on the right path, surrounded by friends, and had no reason to suddenly cut contact.
“Typically, Marcus would call his mum … He loves to FaceTime, and he’d call her every couple of days. Then all of a sudden, the calls stopped coming in,” Dutch said.
Authorities are investigating, but so far, there have been no significant leads.
