Description
Rudolph Leeman was charged with theft by embezzlement of rented or leased property, a violation of A.R.S. § 13-682. Prior to his trial, Leeman moved to dismiss the charge, alleging the statute to be violative of the equal protection clause of United States and Arizona Constitutions. The trial court granted the motion and the state appealed the ruling. Although the Court of Appeals disagreed with Leemans reasoning, it still found the statute to be unconstitutional. The Court of Appeals concluded the statute violated Art. 2, § 18 of the Arizona Constitution which provides: "There shall be no imprisonment for debt, except in cases of fraud". State v. Leeman, 119 Ariz. 348, 580 P.2d 1202 (App., 1977). A petition for review was timely filed pursuant to Rule 31.19, 17 A.R.S., Rules of Criminal Procedure, and we accepted jurisdiction.
