On a Thursday morning in late March, Phoenix Police Chief Michael Sullivan called an urgent meeting with a top commander and several city attorneys.
It’s because the night before, ABC15 broke a story about a major issue inside his department: a homicide detective, who’s married to one of Sullivan’s hand-picked assistant chiefs, had repeatedly mishandled evidence and the mistakes were impacting dozens of murder cases.In court, Phoenix claims that information is confidential and would violate attorney-client privilege.
The meeting was called because ABC15 had just reported how homicide detective Jennifer DiPonzio repeatedly mishandled evidence and the mistakes had impacted at least 37 active court cases and 61 police investigations.Throughout this year, and increasingly in recent months, defense attorneys have caught Phoenix police withholding, hiding, and obfuscating information about the extent of DiPonzio’s misconduct.
Sullivan’s knowledge of the DiPonzio situation will now be the subject of a dispute within an ongoing murder case -- and could potentially impact dozens of others. In recent months, defense teams have slowly forced the release of more information about her mistakes.
