Docket Notice
"HERE FOR YOU | SAFE FOR YOU"

Chief Justice Mason and pertaining parties,

The prosecution wishes to have the prior notice from Junior Prosecuting Attorney Rowin Lawson stricken from this docket at this time. Junior Attorney Lawson accidentally placed the Court Information Request on the docket rather than our internal case log for this case. Junior Attorney Lawson is still being trained and simply made a mistake.

We thank the court for their assistance in this matter and we'll strive to avoid it from happening again.

Very Respectfully,

Upon pulling it over I noticed it was a 4 stacked shadowsBlack kamacho as the R/O was a Alistair Vespucci. Due to me arresting Alistair prior to this, I knew his license was still suspended. Moments later the kamacho began opening fire on me and taking off. I called a code 1 and I started to bleed out due to the gunshots wounds. After providing all the infomation possible to other units they managed to find it and pursue it. I was in the hospital at the time so I had no involvment in the next part.
  
  When visual was gained units pursued the Black kamacho that had just shot at me resulting in the shadows to shoot at the deputies pursuing them. If they didn't surrender they were shot down by deputies and taken into custody. In the end we had all four in custody. Alistair Vespucci, Zoe Williams, Joey Casper, and Vajo Smith.

All 3 (Alistair, Joey, Vajo) need to be brought into the interrogation. We need to determine if Alistair was the driver or not so he can be charged with Acessory to Drive by whereas with Joey and Vajo, they will get Drive by of a Gov regardless of what they say.

  Provide details of the incident leading up to the arrest
  INITIAL SITUATION
  Investigator Hernandez called out a CODE-1 at the end of my FTS session with Trainee Cater so I told the trainee to wait and responded in a Kamacho also joining TAC-1. Hugo described a 4x occupied Black Kamacho, RO Alistair Vespucci that had open fired during a traffic stop as he was calling for backup units. The vehicle we thought was long gone so after searching the area decided to clear TAC
  
  REGAINED VC AND SHOOTOUT.
  Investigator Hunter, called over the radio that he had spotted the vehicle going south on Senora FWY near Bradocks Farm and decided to keep distance whilst following the vehicle. Units were responding but he was made out by the suspects and they went up Mount Gordo and began evading from Hunter. Ania was a passenger and returned shots from the vehicle. At this point myself and Deputy Richardsun were responding in a Kamacho of our own and the vehicle had crashed when we had arrived. Alistair Vespucci exited the vehicle from the passenger side and ran down the hill towards myself and Deputy Richardsun. Mr Vespucci then took his shotgun from his shoulder and began firinig at us two. We returned fire and managed to take down the suspect without taking their life.
  
  THE ARREST
  Mr Vespucci was immediately BLS’d giving him life saving treatment until medics arrived, before this he was cuffed and disarmed then read his rights which he acknowledged that he understood. From there a Paramedic attended and treated Alistair and loaded him up into an Ambulance. Once in the ambulance another unit called DOC for a HVT transport
  
  THE TRANSPORT
  Once arriving at Paleto MD, I collected Alistair Vespucci and suspended his licenses as well as put him into the back of my cruiser until the DOC transport arrived. When arrived I consulted a DOC guard and confirmed charges with Hunter then let Alistair out of my cruiser and into the DOC transport vehicle. Once shackled and inside he was transported to DOC with the other suspects and re-searched as well as mugshotted using my work camera before signing off the transfer documents and thanking DOC for their assistance. I immediately headed to Paleto Station and stored the Pump Shotgun used in the crime inside the Evidence Locker at Paleto

  Provide details of the incident leading up to the arrest
  Investigator Hernandez called a code-1 saying he almost got killed by a 4-stack Kamacho black in color, license plate LORDALI. We had no doubts it was the Shadows, since they have had a vendetta against members of SIB due to investigations conducted. We looked for the Kamacho for a bit of time before it was spotted at Mount Gordo and shots were fired. All of the suspects were apprehended and MD were called. Each of them was treated and a DOC transport took them to prison.
  
  Zoe Williams, specifically, was on the second scene at Mount Gordo seen shooting from the back passenger seat of the Kamacho at deputies, hence the driveby charge in addition. Bodycam footage will go to show.

San Andreas Judicial Branch
Docket Notice
"HERE FOR YOU | SAFE FOR YOU"

Honorable Judge McFornell and pertaining parties,

The Prosecution would like to present our rebuttal to the Defense's Motion to Suppress.

Exhibit #2: The precedent provided for the first suppression of this exhibit is misused by the Defense. The specific precedent is for the signing of witness statements, which this specific statement is. The Defense wants to apply this precedent for a different issue than it was ruled on for the witness writing "Not Applicable" in various places. The Prosecution argues that not filling out an incident date or other personal information should not be grounds for suppression as the statement provides the correct narrative and is signed.

The Prosecution argues that the second suppression of this exhibit should not be considered speculation. The witness personally witnessed the defendant and their accomplices evade from the scene and being pursued by units after the shooting. While the witness had no part in the pursuit, they would have been privy to the arrest of the defendant and their accomplices, supported by the arrest reports provided in Exhibits #5 and #6.

Additionally, the Prosecution would like to object to the fact the Defense is asking to suppress the same exhibit twice. If the Defense is not confident in their Motion to get the entire exhibit suppressed, why do they feel it necessary to ask to suppress the same exhibit twice?

Exhibit #4: The Defense argues against the origins of this ballistics report. The Prosecution has provided the official ballistics report received from the Sheriff's Department, which is further referenced in the statement in Exhibit #2 as being provided as a separate exhibit.

Exhibit #5: The arrest report is provided as supporting information to Exhibit #2. Whether or not the arrest report for the defendant's original arrest is better than this arrest report is irrelevant as it provides the same information.

Exhibit #6: Same argument as for Exhibit #5.

Regards,

Terence Williams

REBUTTAL

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Joey Casper
#24-CM-0040

Rebuttal was filed in the above case on the 22rd of July, 2024.

Defendant, Joey Casper, by and through his attorney, and hereby submits this reply to the Prosecution’s response regarding the Motion to Suppress filed on July 18, 2024. For the reasons set forth below, the Motion to Suppress should be granted.

Exhibit 2: The Defense maintains that the witness statement should be suppressed due to improper formatting and the absence of an incident date, as indicated by "N/A." We cited the case of State of San Andreas v. Hailee Joyce (#22-CM-0036), where Judge Daniels ruled against improperly formatted witness statements. The Prosecution argues that this precedent is misused, suggesting it only pertains to the signing of statements. However, the Defense asserts that the integrity and completeness of a witness statement are needed for admissibility. The lack of an incident date compromises the document’s reliability and makes it difficult to exact the circumstances of the incident.

Exhibit 2 Subsidiarily: The Defense further argues that the statement contains speculation/personal knownledge, specifically regarding the events that Lieutenant Dante Archer did not directly observe. The Prosecution’s counter-argument that Lieutenant Archer witnessed the pursuit and arrests does not address the fact that he admitted to not being present during critical events, rendering his account partially speculative. The Defense emphasizes that suppression is warranted under personal knowledge defined by "A witness may not testify about any matter of which they have no personal knowledge. Only if the witness has directly observed an event (sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch) may the witness testify about it. Personal knowledge must be shown before a witness may testify concerning a matter." which requires that a witness testify only to matters they have personal knowledge of.

Exhibit 2 Subsidiarily Suppression
Whilst sitting in a speed trap a black kamacho passed me speeding going around 170ish. I went to pull it over for just a normal 10-55. Upon pulling it over I noticed it was a 4 stacked shadowsBlack kamacho as the R/O was a Alistair Vespucci. Due to me arresting Alistair prior to this, I knew his license was still suspended. Moments later the kamacho began opening fire on me and taking off. I called a code 1 and I started to bleed out due to the gunshots wounds. After providing all the infomation possible to other units they managed to find it and pursue it. I was in the hospital at the time so I had no involvement in the next part. (This is him admitting to not being present)

When visual was gained units pursued the Black kamacho that had just shot at me resulting in the shadows to shoot at the deputies pursuing them. If they didn't surrender they were shot down by deputies and taken into custody. In the end we had all four in custody. Alistair Vespucci, Zoe Williams, Joey Casper, and Vajo Smith. They were charged accordingly for shooting at deputies on that scene but we were not sure which ones shot at myself initially at my traffic stop. (This is what the defense wants suppressed)

Ballistics were conducted with Joey, Zoes, and Vajos Pistol. 50s in order to determine which one shot at me. After matching the engravings I learnt that Vajo was the one that mostly shot at me but also Joey. No bullets matched with Zoes gun however she was charged with drive by later on by [redacted]. All 3 (Alistair, Joey, Vajo) need to be brought into the interrogation. We need to determine if Alistair was the driver or not so he can be charged with Acessory to Drive by whereas with Joey and Vajo, they will get Drive by of a Gov regardless of what they say.

The suspect has been charged following the analysis of the ballistic evidence collected at the scene and the subsequent confiscation of the weapon from the suspect.

Exhibit 4: The Defense contends that the ballistics report lacks a clear source for its discovery. The Prosecution’s assurance that it was provided by the Sheriff's Department is insufficient without proper documentation of its origin. The Defense requests the court to enforce stricter rules on the admissibility of forensic evidence to ensure the reliability and chain of custody is intact.

Exhibit 5 & 6: The Defense argues that the arrest reports of Alistair Vespucci and Zoe Williams are irrelevant to Joey Casper’s case and do not constitute the best evidence. The Prosecution’s claim that these reports provide the same information as Joey’s arrest report does not justify their admissibility. Relevance is defined by "Evidence is considered relevant if it has any tendency to make a fact that is important to the case more or less probable than the fact would be without the evidence." The defense not only asserts that these arrests report for other individuals who are notJoey Casper do not make the charges on Joey Casper more or less probable.

This also falls under best evidence, why provide arrest reports for other people when you can just provide the original arrest report for Joey Casper?

For the above reasons, the Defense respectfully requests that the court grant the Motion to Suppress Exhibits #2, #4, #5, and #6, as outlined in the original motion and supported by this reply. If the prosecution does not reply to this, we require no more say and are ready for a ruling on this suppression.

- Detailed Explanation: The court ordered the prosecution to bring Joey Casper's original arrest report to evidence on the 20/JUL. The prosecution responded to a motion to suppress on the 21/JUL where they quoted "The arrest report is provided as supporting information to Exhibit #2. Whether or not the arrest report for the defendant's original arrest is better than this arrest report is irrelevant as it provides the same information."
  
  The prosecution has shown clear intent to not include the original arrest report for Joey Casper into evidence yet argues it provides the same information as other arrest reports in regards about other arrest reports getting suppressed. This means that the original arrest report has been seen and/or in the possession of the prosecution.

Docket Notice
"HERE FOR YOU | SAFE FOR YOU"

Honorable Judge McFornell and pertaining parties,

The Prosecution will make it simple regarding the Defense's argument of Best Evidence, Motion to Compel, and Motion for Involuntary Dismissal.

The arrest report for the defendant's original arrest would have been provided, had we had it. But we don't, and never have. And for reasons out of our control, we won't be able to provide it.

This is the final response from the Prosecution regarding the Motion to Suppress and subsequent Motion for Involuntary Dismissal.

Regards,

Terence Williams
