The explicit reference to “fruits” clearly<br />
indicates that “not only the direct products, but also the<br />
indirect products” of Defendant’s statements would not be used<br />
by the State against him.<br />

could have reasonably concluded that Defendant failed to make a<br />
sufficient showing that there had been a violation of the<br />
agreement to justify an evidentiary hearing on his claim.<br />
As<br />
detailed by the State in the response to Defendant’s motion,<br />
Tovar was interviewed by defense counsel the same day, but after<br />
Defendant’s free talk session. Tovar was not present for<br />
Defendant’s free talk and the statements were not recorded.<br />
Thus, the only way that Tovar’s memory could have been refreshed<br />
by Defendant’s statements was if the prosecutor informed him of<br />
the statements.<br />
The prosecutor avowed none of the information<br />
provided by Defendant was conveyed to Tovar.<br />
28 The record does not reflect any challenge by Defendant<br />
to the facts described in the response or the prosecutor’s<br />
avowal. A prosecutor’s avowal based on firsthand knowledge may<br />
be properly considered in ruling on an issue. See State v.<br />
Montano, 204 Ariz. 413, 424, 50, 65 P.3d 61, 72 (2003)<br />
(relying, in part, on the prosecutor’s avowal that there were no<br />
Brady materials in denying the Brady claim), supplemented by 206<br />
