"EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW"
SUMMARY JUDGEMENT ARGUMENT
The prosecution notes they have missed the 72 hour time window allotted by the presiding judge. We hope that in this matter the Honorable Judge Allgood would allow the arguments to still be accepted as the prosecution was initially awaiting the possibility of a trial, as that is the favored outcome of the defendant. That being said the prosecution has recognized that another week has passed without a trial being scheduled and would therefore like to submit the following argument towards a Motion for Summary Judgement.
The prosecution begins by looking at the initial information that led to the proper identification of the defendant, Scoobie Bathseba, on the 28th day of November, 2022. For this we look to both the arrest report from Agent Colin Quinn of the LSSD and the subsequent bodycam, exhibit numbers 1 and 2. In both exhibits, the events at the Department of Corrections (DOC) are shown, where several deputies witnessed the defendant (i)without his mask, (ii) in the same clothes, (iii)with the same well-known-affiliated of the defendant, Wolfgang Bathsheba, and (iv)in the exact same car as shown later in exhibit number 3.
These four identifiers are used to later confirm his identity in exhibit number 3, when someone who is wearing a mask, but (i) has the same clothes, (ii) is with Wolfgang Bathsheba, and (iii) is in the same car. The thoroughness of Agent Quinn's investigation is evident when he notes the same comparisons the DOC surveillance camera footage, making a crucial link between Scoobie Bathsheba and the events that followed. In addition, the defendant's respirator, as shown in his possessions in exhibit 1, a distinctive piece of evidence, is visible in the camera footage as the defendant wore it during his earlier encounter with the SADOC officers where he is suspected of picking up Ali Valentine.
Referencing back to exhibit #3, the prosecution views the audio as an essential element to our case. To begin, the audio shows Ali Valentine, a cuffed high-value-target in transport, walking over to a vehicle driven by what the prosecution feels they've proved beyond a reasonable doubt to be Scoobie Bathsheba, the defendant. Ali Valentine calls to the driver of the vehicle, referring to him by name, "Scoobie, I did good". Seconds go by as we hear the recording captures a man who sounds similar to the defendant, uttering the words "Get in, baby". They then take off with a DOC officer clutching the bonnet of his car.
To review, we have a man who (i) is wearing the same clothing as a previously identified Scoobie Bathsheba, (ii) is in the same car as a previously identified Scoobie Bathsheba, (iii) is with the same person (Wolfgang Bathsheba) as the previously identified Scoobie Bathsheba, (iv) is wearing a respirator just like the previously identified Scoobie Bathsheba, and (v) was called Scoobie by Ali Valentine. Hence, in light of the overwhelming evidence presented, we wish to firmly affirm that the facts in this case are in no regard disputable. The guilt of the defendant on both counts of aiding and abetting an escape is clear and indisputable.
As for the charge of GF24 - Perjury, the defendant makes numerous statements in his appeal that are not only invalid, but also inadmissible in court as the defense has provided no discovery to prove that (i) other Bathshebas were wearing the same clothes as the defendant ("It is important that Scoobie mentions that he bought all of the family members within the Bathshebas the same outfit for their Christmas service which is the same outfit he was wearing when he talked to Jon and Viccy at DOC and when he was arrested"), (ii) how the defendant would know the officers did not properly identify the person ("Scoobie confirmed that they never got the driver's ID, they just went upon appearance.")(other than the belief that an officer of the law would give out that information to a suspect), or (iii) why his statements are in direct conflict with bodycam evidence ("Ally called Scoobie's name when running to the car, but Scoobie confirmed with Asian Quinn that the driver never responded to the name."). In fact the statement provided by the defendant references his knowledge to the fact that Ali Valentine was currently being arrested and sent to jail. ("They decided to go to DOC to put up a poster until they saw their old time friend, "Ally Vallytine" where he would lie injured and being arrested.") It is clear in his own written appeal that the defendant has knowingly tried to mislead the courts in order to get the not guilty verdict he wishes for. However, the prosecution trusts in the courts ability to see through the nonsense.
As a final note, it is important that we once again draw the court's attention to the fact that several attempts to set a trial date have been made since 28 February 2023, to no avail. Therefore, it is the prosecution’s proposal that a summary judgment is the best way to conclude this case in a fair manner.
