- 1. Pre-Trial Motions: In my original motions, the presiding judge instructed that they would be addressed during the pre-trial conference. However, when I raised those motions at the pre-trial, the judge directed that they would instead be heard at trial. When I began to argue the motions during the trial, the judge stated they should be presented as objections rather than as motions to suppress. As a result, the motions were never substantively considered or discussed.
2. At the time of my arrest, I was not informed of all charges against me. I therefore appealed only the charge of reckless operation, learning of the battery charge later from the arrest report. I intended to amend the appeal to include the battery charge but, relying on the judge’s earlier instruction that motions would be addressed at trial, I waited until trial to request the amendment. During trial, I twice informed the court of my wish to amend the contested charges. The judge responded:
Yet in #25-BT-0108, State of San Andreas v. Ian Walter, the same judge accepted a motion to amend charges filed only thirty minutes before trial. This inconsistent application of procedure raises concerns of unequal treatment rather than fairness.The Court affirms that the procedure to modify contested charges was not followed by the Defense, as they requested the charges be amended the day of court. The Court cannot allow additional charges to be considered at the last minute, as this would prevent any fair opportunity to the Prosecution to prepare an adequate case.
3. During the court the prosecution was sighing, calling the court ridiculous and all of that, I will not interpret the behavior of your Attourney General as it appears to be well known. However, the moment I stated that the court tricked me, the Attourney General requested contempt of court and of course the judge followed his order, and the judge directly started threatening and mentioned that I am getting the charge. The judge decided to threaten stating that I will be charged with the Felony contempt of court yet there is the misderminour contempt of court. If me stated that the court tricked me qualifies for contempt as it is my freedom of speech, and, If stating that is contempt of court, how is the attourney general is not guilty of the same act.
4. While I acknowledge that judicial precedents are authoritative, the charge of Reckless Operation requires proof of an intentional disregard for human life, which is materially different from mere speeding. The prosecution presented no evidence demonstrating that I acted with such intent. In fact, their own evidence showed that I was in full control of my vehicle, fully aware of its capabilities, and operating it in a safe and responsible manner. Their case relied solely on allegations of speeding and the unexamined assertion that “the officer is always right,” which does not satisfy the required elements of the offense.
