#23-CM-0050, State of San Andreas v. Jason Sligmov
"EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW"
PROSECUTION SUMMARY JUDGEMENT ARGUMENTS
The prosecution will start by providing a timeline of the evens of the 24th of February, 2023.
Timeline:
At approximately 8:42 AM ((phone time)), several deputies of the sheriff's department were dispatched to DOC to investigate a cuffed individual. The cuffed individual explains his story: his car was stolen, he was tortured, cuffed, and, for lack of better terms, left for dead.
At approximately 2:33 in the bodycam evidence provided, he (the cuffed individual) can be heard conferring with the deputies the location of the incident. Multiple times it was stated that not only was his stolen car located at the Motel in Sandy, but also that is where the alleged story of the cuffed individual occurred.
At approximately 3:33 in the bodycam evidence provided, one of the deputies can be heard stating that they are going to find the mans stolen vehicle. It is clear the intent of the Sheriffs Deputies was to conduct a lawful investigation into a possible crime. They (The Sheriffs Deputies) had reasonable suspicion to search the area (Sandy Motel), looking not only for the cuffed individual's car (alleged stolen property: White Surano SUV) but also evidence to prove the cuffed individual's words.
At approximately 4:42 in the bodycam evidence provided, as they approached the scene at the Motel in Sandy, the cuffed individual exclaimed "That's the guy!". At this point, the Sheriffs Deputies now had reasonable suspicion to detain the defendant for questioning. Upon driving closer to the defendant, Sheriffs Deputies also noted a gun visible on the defendant. Reasonable suspicion developed into probable cause as they had active evidence of a crime being committed.
The prosecution affirms, through the timeline provided, arrest report, illegal gun in evidence, witness statement, and bodycam footage that the investigation done by Sheriffs Deputies was lawful and did not infringe on the defendants rights.
The law: WF03 - Possession of Illegal Firearms/Weapons
As stated in the penal code, WF03 is "Illegally possessing any type of firearm, weapon, parts of a firearm/weapon, ammunition or a firearm without a serial number". It is clearly shown on the bodycam that the defendant was in possession of a firearm. As a recent offender, he is not in possession of a firearms license, therefore he is liable for the charge of WF03.
The prosecution is asking the court to affirm the Sheriffs Deputies original decision and maintain the charge based off the indisputable evidence showing the defendant clearly in possession of an illegal firearm.
