A Maricopa County Superior Court judge has acquitted former prison Lieutenant Mark Hasz in an aggravated assault case, marking the second time the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office has failed to secure a conviction against him. Hasz, who had previously spoken out about concerns within the prison system, was fired and charged with aggravated assault following a use-of-force incident in July 2020. His defense team was reportedly barred from presenting evidence of his whistleblowing activities during the first trial, but the judge made no such ruling in this second trial.
