PHOENIX — Sen. Jeff Flake’s son will seek a new civil trial against then-Sheriff Joe Arpaio for bringing a now-dismissed criminal case against him in the heat-exhaustion deaths of 21 dogs.<\/p>\n
Austin Flake lost a lawsuit against Arpaio at a trial in December.<\/p>\n
His attorney, Stephen Montoya, says he’ll seek another trial because authorities didn’t turn over evidence before trial that would have swayed jurors in his client’s favour.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit stems from charges filed in the 2014 dog deaths at a metro-Phoenix kennel operated by Flake’s in-laws.<\/p>\n
The dogs died when the kennel’s air conditioner failed.<\/p>\n
Montoya says a graph created by authorities that accurately showed electrical usage dropping inside the kennel wasn’t turned over before trial.<\/p>\n
Arpaio is seeking the Senate seat held by Jeff Flake, who isn’t seeking re-election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
