ISSUANCE OF VERDICT

---

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Dave Ward
#24-CM-0084

A decision was reached in the above case on the 18th day of January, 2025.

At trial the evidence presented included helicopter footage, officer witness statements, and the recovery of a recently fired suppressed .50-caliber pistol in the possession of the defendant. The evidence convincingly establishes that Mr. Ward actively participated in a coordinated and violent assault against law enforcement, culminating in the tragic death of a deputy. While the defense rightly pointed out the absence of direct evidence linking Mr. Ward to the fatal shot, this does not absolve him of responsibility.

Mr. Ward’s involvement in the pursuit, combined with the discovery of a recently discharged firearm in his possession, equipped with a suppressor and containing no remaining bullets clearly implicates him under the principles of felony murder. The coordinated actions of the group, in which Mr. Ward played a demonstrable role, directly resulted in the death of a law enforcement officer. Taken together, this evidence leaves no reasonable doubt as to his culpability.

The court wishes to emphasize that this verdict does not suggest that mere presence at the scene of a crime renders an individual culpable. However, in this instance, the evidence conclusively demonstrates that Mr. Ward played a significant and hostile role in the events that led to the tragic death of a deputy.

It is with the above considerations that I issue the following verdict:

• On the count of SF02 - Murder of a government employee, I find the defendant, Dave Ward, guilty.
