Description
Petitioner was charged with failure to pay reasonable child support, a class six felony, in violation of Ariz.Rev.Stat.Ann. ("A.R.S.") § 12-2458 (Supp.1991).*fn1 In a motion to dismiss, he argued that portions of that statute unconstitutionally shifted the burden of persuasion from the State to the defendant. Although the trial court agreed, it denied petitioner's motion to dismiss, finding that the unconstitutional portions were severable and that the remainder was not unconstitutionally vague. Petitioner sought review by special action. After hearing oral argument, we accepted jurisdiction of petitioner's severability challenge, denied relief, and declined to accept jurisdiction on the vagueness issue. We explain our order in this opinion.
