Overview

• Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Sam J. Myers ruled that Arizona prosecutors failed to provide the grand jury with the text of the Electoral Count Act, a key statute in the case.
• The judge's decision requires the case against 18 defendants, including Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, to be re-presented to a new grand jury.
• Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes plans to appeal the ruling, stating her office disagrees with the court's decision and remains committed to the prosecution.
• Defense attorneys argued that the omission of the law's text denied their clients a substantial procedural right, with the judge agreeing that proper legal instructions were not provided.
• This development marks a significant procedural setback for the prosecution, though similar charges against alternate electors are progressing in other states, including Georgia and Michigan.
