A Maricopa County Superior Court judge is considering whether to throw out a high-profile child murder case or declare a mistrial due to major issues with the Goodyear Police Department's tracking of evidence. After six months of trial, the judge paused proceedings after defense attorneys presented internal police documents showing widespread problems with the department's evidence tracking software, which impacts the chain of custody in this case and potentially many others.
[.....]
In a motion to dismiss, defense attorneys attached internal police documents that show Goodyear police detectives and other employees admitting to major issues with their evidence tracking software. These problems with the department's evidence management system have called into question the chain of custody for key evidence in the 2017 murder case against Germayne and Lisa Cunningham.

The judge will make a decision on Wednesday whether to dismiss the case against the Cunninghams or declare a mistrial due to the Goodyear Police Department's evidence tracking issues.

Major child murder trial suspended indefinitely due to Goodyear PD’s evidence problems

The case against the Cunninghams began in 2017. The couple is accused of child abuse, causing the death of their 7-year-old daughter, Sanaa Cunningham.

March 18, 2026
PHOENIX — A high-profile child murder trial against a former Phoenix cop and his wife has been shut down indefinitely because Goodyear police have significant and widespread issues with their evidence.

In a ruling from the bench on Wednesday, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Patricia Starr ordered that the trial against Germayne and Lisa Cunningham will be suspended until the court can hold an evidentiary hearing to determine the scope of the problems and their impact on the case.
[.....]
The date for an evidentiary hearing about the problems has not been set.

The defense and prosecutors will meet again in court next week to set a schedule. A multi-day evidentiary hearing likely means detectives, evidence employees, and other officials will be forced to take the stand and testify about the problems.

In court, Judge Starr said she could declare a mistrial or dismiss the case, even with prejudice based on what happens.
