PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Supreme Court has reinstated sexual harassment allegations in an ethics case against a former prosecutor best known for winning a conviction in the Jodi Arias murder case.
The ruling reverses an earlier decision that threw out claims that then-prosecutor Juan Martinez made sexually inappropriate comments to female law clerks at the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.
Martinez also is accused of leaking the identity of a juror in the Arias case to a blogger with whom he was having a sexual relationship.
His attorney Donald Wilson Jr. has said much of the harassment case is based on an accuser's subjective opinion, not on overt actions.
