Description
Defendant-appellant, Mario Avila, was charged with child-molestation in violation of A.R.S. § 13-653 (Supp.1978) of our pre-revision Criminal Code. At a September 1, 1978 preliminary hearing, probable cause to prosecute was found to exist and appellant was ordered to answer the allegations before the Superior Court. On February 28, 1979, appellant executed a "Waiver of Trial By Jury" and agreed to submit the determination of guilt or innocence to the court, based solely upon the transcripts of the preliminary hearing and the departmental report. Based upon this evidence, appellant was adjudged guilty as charged; imposition of sentence was suspended, and he was placed on probation for a period of five years. Appellant thereupon filed an appeal to the Court of Appeals.
