"EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW"
ISSUANCE OF VERDICT
IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS
State of San Andreas v. Vince Williams
#22-CM-0071
A decision was reached in the above case on the 16th day of December, 2022.
The court has reviewed all the evidence presented, the arguments made by both parties, and have come to a clear and concise decision. The evidence in the case has shows that the defendant while in the observatory tunnel moved his vehicle as far as he could to the side of the tunnel and parked. This was done in an attempt to yield to law enforcement officers engaged in a pursuit and not impede their travel through the tunnel.
Furthermore, the court agrees with the defense that the right turn from Sinner Street onto Vespucci Boulevard is not illegal as the road markings shown in the satellite images clearly display a white dotted line to guide drivers who are making the right hand turn. However, the court agrees with the prosecution that the defendant was engaging in activities which distracts the driver from driving safely. This was done through the activity of using his cellular device.
To use a cellular device the defendant had to use one of his hands to hold the phone instead of both being placed on the steering wheel and divide his attention from the road to his phone. These two aspects combined lead the court the the decision that the defendant was distracted when engaging in these activities.
It is with the above considerations that I issue the following verdict:
- On the count of VM04 - Disruptive Impeding or Blocking Travel, I find the defendant, Vince Williams, not guilty.
- On the count of VM05 - Drunk, Impaired, or Distracted Driving, I find the defendant, Vince Williams, guilty.
