INDICTMENT

---

• THE PROSECUTION CHARGES THAT:
  
  • Detective Knight conducted an investigation into Lewis Langley regarding alleged misuse of state property, false statements, and involvement in organized criminal activity.
  • On August 16, 2025, Langley reported that he had been kidnapped.
  • Investigation reportedly identified inconsistencies in Langley’s statement and a lack of physical evidence supporting the claim.
  • Investigators determined that Langley allegedly coordinated the release and use of a state-issued vehicle, which he improperly retained and attempted to conceal.
  • Langley reportedly also provided inconsistent statements regarding a firearm allegedly placed in a vehicle at Benny’s Motorworks.
  • Law enforcement later located the vehicle, and a K9 search reportedly resulted in the recovery of an AP pistol.
  • A witness, Leo Devil, reported that Langley had previously made threats against him and directed acts of violence.
  • Devil further reported that when attempting to document such conduct, an associate of Langley forcibly seized and destroyed his phone.
  • Shortly after cooperating with law enforcement, Leo Devil was reportedly kidnapped by individuals associated with Langley, transported to a secured location, restrained, and threatened.
  • Further investigation indicates that Langley, during his tenure as Governor, allegedly coordinated and directed acts of kidnapping, torture, and murder through associates.
  • A witness, Lester Conway, reported being present for multiple such incidents and described a pattern of retaliatory violence carried out under Langley’s direction.
  • On December 15, 2025, Conway was reportedly ambushed outside City Hall by multiple armed individuals, abducted, and transported to a secondary location.
  • Investigators report that Conway was subsequently tortured and killed at that location. Law enforcement recovered blood evidence reportedly matching Conway, along with ballistic evidence consistent with the weapons used.
  • Based on the totality of the investigation, investigators assert probable cause that Lewis Langley engaged in organized criminal activity involving deception, threats, kidnapping, torture, murder, and the destruction and concealment of evidence.

ARRAIGNMENT FORM

---

• Lewis Langley you are facing misdemeanor and felony charges for alleged conducts that have occurred since the 17th of January, 2026.
  
  This form will formally read you the charges filed against you. You may plead in one of three ways for each charge:
  • Guilty
    A plea of guilty indicates to the court that you confirm your guilt of the alleged conduct that was in violation of Penal Code. If you plead guilty, the charge and fines will be placed on your record and you will have to turn yourself into law enforcement.
  • Not Guilty
    A plea of not guilty indicates to the court that you dispute the charges being filed against you. If you plead not guilty, preliminary pretrial proceedings will begin and a criminal trial will be scheduled in the near future.
  • No Contest
    A plea of no contest is similar to that of a guilty plea, but indicates to the court that you accept the conviction, with the exception of avoiding a factual admission of guilt. If you plead no contest, the charge and fines will similarly be placed on your record and you will have to turn yourself into law enforcement.
  Before the court can accept a plea of guilty or no contest, you must be advised of your rights in this situation.

  4. You also have the right to not testify during any of the proceedings in accordance with your right to remain silent.
  5. Please be advised that anything you say or do during the proceedings can and will be used against you by the prosecution.
  Lewis Langley, please be aware that any plea you give must be made voluntarily and of your own volition, and did not result from force, threats, or promises made by any person, with the exception of a Plea Agreement that can be arranged between yourself and the prosecution.
  
  Count 1 is NM03 - Unlawful Assembly, a misdemeanor charge punishable by 15 months of incarceration and a fine of $1,000.
  
  Count 2 is GM13 - Criminal Threats, a misdemeanor charge punishable by 20 months of incarceration and a fine of $1,000.

  Count 5 is GF18 - Racketeering, a felony charge punishable by 60 months of incarceration and a fine of $3,000.
  
  Count 6 is Accessory to SF02 - Murder, a felony charge punishable by 45 months of incarceration and a fine of $4,500.

I plead not guilty to all charges. Can the court consider giving me additional time because I think my lawyers dead. I might need to find a new one.

MOTION FOR INVOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

---

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Lewis Langley
#26-CM-0009

A Motion for Involuntary Dismissal was filed in the above case on the 12th day of May, 2026.

The Defendant, by and through the undersigned attorney, filed this Motion for Involuntary Dismissal, and the reasoning for request is as follows;

• Reasoning: On the 27th of April, 2026, Defense Counsel filed a Motion to compel discovery. This motion was filed with the intent on asserting the Defendant's 6th Constitutional right to a "speedy and public trial", rather than wait for the Court to order discovery on their own accord. Again, the Defendant asserts this right, and does not request it at the leisure of the State, or from this Court for that matter.
  
  On the same day, this Court ordered the state to submit "the majority of their evidence, including all evidence collected from the arresting Law Enforcement Agency" within 14 days, and if additional time was needed to file for a continuance. This means the deadline for this order was the 11th of May.
  
  It is the 12th of May, and no discovery and no request for a continuance was made or accepted.
  
  The Defense would also like to point out on the record this case stemmed from an original bench trial case, #26-BT-0008. In the verdict on this case, your Honor dismissed the charges against the Defendant without prejudice. The Court also made several key findings on the record. First, the Court found the State violated the Defendant's right to counsel when the Defendant was extradited to China, which was only remedied when the Defendant was returned back to San Andreas and put on parole. Secondly, the Court aimed to "reset the procedural posture" of the case to allow for the State to refile the charges against the Defendant in a way in which the Defendant's rights were not only protected, but respected. The Court ordered the State to proceed with the case via indictment within 14 days of this ruling, which the State did adhere to based on filing dates on the indictment.
  
  The Defense would like to highlight a critical piece of this indictment,
  

  The Court notes, that should the State fail to file an indictment within the allotted fourteen-day period, the Court will interpret that failure as an abandonment of prosecution in the matter of #26-BT-0008 State of San Andreas v. Lewis Langley, but not the other cases. In that event, the Court will proceed with issuing orders returning any fees/compensation associated with this case to the Defendant and awarding monetary compensation reflecting the time the Defendant has already served as a result of the charges.

  
  Although this is directly referring to the properly filed indictment preceding the initiation of this present case, the Defense believes the contextual framework has been laid for supporting this motion to involuntarily dismiss. The Court aimed to "reset the procedural posture" of the case by giving the State an opportunity to 'try again', and here we are again with the "procedural posture" still going down the same path was the preceding case. The Defense believes with the Defendant's assertion of their rights to a speedy trial and with the State failing to comply with the order of the Court, the State has effectively abandoned the prosecution against the Defendant. In anticipation of the State arguing against this being their intent, the Defense also believes this Court should take punitive measures against the State to address what has now become a cumulative encroachment of the Constitutional rights of the Defendant. As a reminder, the first case (26-BT-0008) was dismissed without prejudice to "reset the procedural posture". However, as the Constitutional violations have persisted, the Defense is now asking for the case to be dismissed with prejudice to prevent any furtherance of Constitutional violations. The Defense sees this as the only remedy to ensure the Defendant's rights will be protected by the State is to cease this prosecution.
