COURT DECISION


IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Defendant
#24-CM-0024

A decision was reached in the above case on the 16th day of July, 2024.


Defense, I have reviewed your questions and found the answers to most of these in evidence already submitted by the prosecution.

Can you describe the exact location and circumstances under which you first observed Mr. Bathsheba driving on the incorrect side of the highway
incorrect side of the highway on Senora Fwy, Exhibit #2

Did you see where Mr. Bathsheba was coming from?
Please provide additional information as to relevance,

How long did it take you to make a U-turn and initiate the stop after you observed the infraction?
Please provide additional information as to relevance

Can you explain what you did, to conduct this traffic stop?
Exhibit #2

Can you confirm how many marked bills you found on Mr. Bathsheba during your search?
"other deputy searched his bike and found 2 more stacks of the same marked bills" With 3 packs logged into evidence I would be inclined to believe 1 was found on the person based on the evidence Exhibit #2

When you found the bills, did you immediately believe that they were stolen?
It is my understanding that the traffic stop was conducted based on a traffic infraction, followed by an MDC run outlining outstanding fines, GM#16

You mentioned that another deputy searched Mr. Bathsheba’s bike. Were you present during that search?
After doing this I searched his person and found a stack of clearly marked bills. Whilst I was doing this the other deputy searched his bike and found 2 more stacks of the same marked bills which in total accounted for several thousand dollars worth of marked bills. Exhibit #2

Can you tell us what was found in the bike when it was searched?
After doing this I searched his person and found a stack of clearly marked bills. Whilst I was doing this the other deputy searched his bike and found 2 more stacks of the same marked bills which in total accounted for several thousand dollars worth of marked bills. Exhibit #2

Did you see with your own eyes, that there was packed cash inside of the bike before the other deputy told you there was?
Please provide additional information as to relevance

At this time I see no reason to collect additional information from the officer to answer the questions you have presented. Marked bills are typically flagged by law enforcement for monitoring, thus these would be assumed stolen as a bank would not issue marked bills to the general populace during a bank transaction.

Docket Notice
"HERE FOR YOU | SAFE FOR YOU"

  • Honorable Judge Hyland,

    The questions in the motion to compel discovery are intended to clarify the need for cross-examination of Deputy Lester Conway because, at this time, the defense has no effective way of conducting a cross-examination of Deputy Conway prior to the posting on the docket of the witness statement. This is the only opportunity that we will have to set these concerns out before the trial in a comprehensive way.

    The questions as described above are very vital for the reasons that follow:
    • Did you see where Mr. Bathsheba was coming from?
      • This is where the question will be very important in order to find the whole context of the incident. If it is possible to know where Mr. Bathsheba was coming from, then it can be possible to establish if there were any extenuating circumstances or some potential reasons for his behavior on the vehicle. And it will also help to know if he was being followed or if other contributory factors existed that may explain his behavior.
      How long did it take you to make a U-turn and initiate the stop after you observed the infraction?
      • The information will determine if there is time that is more than unnecessarily delayed, or whether indeed the deputy followed proper procedural conduct in prompt succession. The amount of time that elapses further forms the time frame in which defense would examine what the deputy did and possibly argue into procedural issues concerning it.
    • Did you see with your own eyes, that there was packed cash inside of the bike before the other deputy told you there was?
      • The question goes to the chain of custody and the integrity of the evidence. It is relevant to ask that question so that it can be determined whether Deputy Conway actually viewed the cash in the bike or whether he was just going on the information given by the other deputy. This helps ensure that the evidence was not tampered with or planted and that the search was conducted properly.
    If the Court allows, we are ready to go to trial and call Deputy Conway to the stand for cross-examination directly to really thrash through the facts and uphold the Defendant's rights to a fair trial, if that is the preferred way to go about this by your honor.

    Respectfully yours,

San Andreas Judicial Branch

Docket Notice
"HERE FOR YOU | SAFE FOR YOU"

  • Honorable Judge Hyland and pertaining parties,

    While the Judge on the case has already responded to the Defense's initial Motion to Compel, the Prosecution would like to give a final response.

    Firstly, there is no need for the Defense to have the information regarding any extenuating circumstances, potential reasons for behaviour, or other contributory factors for the deputy to stop the defendant for reckless driving. This is covered under law enforcement officer (LEO) discretion, as is charging the defendant, and should rather be a point for the Defense to bring up in opening and closing arguments at trial.

    Secondly, the question on timing between witnessing the traffic violation and the traffic stop hopes to set dangerous precedent, stating LEOs MUST pull over drivers for traffic violations in X amount of time from witnessing the violation as a question of "proper procedural conduct in prompt succession." LEOs have the discretion to investigate violations and crimes alike in any capacity, with no single precedent, procedure, nor constitutional right stating that LEOs are required to immediately seek to stop violations in action to apply charges accordingly.

    Thirdly, the chain of custody has already been brought up by the Defense and then belabored and ruled upon by the presiding judge, stating it is an inconsequential argument. To continue to press a point already dismissed by the judge seeks to breach due process and goes against the "proper procedural conduct" the Defense seeks to protect.

    Lastly, Defense counsel is more than able to question their defendant and provide a statement with their recount of events that would allow for them to find the whole context of the incident which they seem to be looking for. The Prosecution whole-heartedly objects to the notion that the Defense is trying to call a Prosecution witness to the stand, as it breaches ethical concerns of contact with the adverse party. Individuals are not compelled to testify in the State of San Andreas, testimony has to be given voluntarily, and for the Defense to suggest they will reach out to the Prosecution's witness is a breach of simple, judicial procedure.

COURT DECISION


IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Stelio Bathseba
#24-CM-0024

A decision was reached in the above case on the 24th day of July, 2024.


You will be granted your request to submit your questions to the deputy under the assumption said officer is still under oath, a member of a department, you will be granted 1 week to collect your evidence and submit it as evidence to this case. Please take this as me showing you and your department respect in an effort to afford you the ability to present a reason for this request.

I realize I have been lacking in my responses to this case and this is partly why I am granting this, to provide you an opportunity to collect more evidence. During this time, whilst you are questioning the lead officer, I will also grant the prosecution an opportunity to question your defendant (within the constitutional rights afforded to them by the constitution).

Both sides have 1 week to submit their findings to the docket, should this not be logged into the file by then we will be moving to trial.

I have delayed this case to long as it is, and for that I apologize. Thus we will be holding this trial either the 3rd or the 4th. I will submit that to you the scheduling tool shortly.

Docket Notice
"HERE FOR YOU | SAFE FOR YOU"

  • Honorable Judge Hyland,

    I respectfully acknowledge the court's decision to allow both the defense and prosecution additional time to collect and submit evidence within the next week.

    However, I kindly request clarification on the decision to permit the prosecution to question the defendant during this period. As stated in the 5th Amendment of the Constitution of the State of San Andreas:

    "No person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against themself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."

    Given this protection against self-incrimination, I am concerned about the implications of allowing the prosecution to question the defendant outside the formal trial process. This could potentially infringe upon the defendant's constitutional rights and create a dangerous precedent .

    Respectfully yours,

"HERE FOR YOU | SAFE FOR YOU"

  • Honorable Judge Hyland and pertaining parties,

    Regarding the latest court decision:

    The Prosecution would like to note that the witness is no longer deployed by the Sheriffs Department, and haven’t been for some months. Instead they work as an agent for the Government Security Bureau, and as such do not fall specifically under the provisions for this questioning being allowed.

    Additionally, we would like to know which line of questioning is being permitted. Is it the questions posed in the Defense’s Motion to Compel, or can they ask anything.

    We would also like to note that it has been over six (6) months since this incident, and as such do not believer there should be any expectation for the witness to remember details clearly.

    We would like clarification on these areas as soon as possible.

    Regards,

COURT NOTICE


IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Stelio Bathseba
#24-CM-0024

A notice is issued pertaining to the above case on the 25th day of July, 2024.


Further clarification in response to the above Notices.

In no way am I authorizing or suggesting that the constitutional rights of the defendant be violated, but should your client wish to speak to the prosecution or lodge questions to the defendant I see no issue for this, your client should be advised of his rights, and perhaps consult his attorneys prior to submittal of his responses. If your client is willing to testify or speak at the trial, then this would be the preferred venue. Still, experience shows that typically defendants refuse to participate outside of attending and protesting verdicts, thus should the prosecution have questions they wish to present to your client, to add clarity to the trial I see no issue with this, within the confines of the constitution.

Defense, please note that your questions will also fall within the confines of the constitution and should you be questioning the prosecutions witness it is advised that the witness be afforded an attorney from the prosecutors office. It is also important to note that as stated by the prosecution, this witness is no longer employed by the Sheriff's office, and as such will no longer have access to information you may wish answered, procedures of the department, or documents that would be instrumental to refresh his memory. You shall ensure the prosecution is present for questioning should it occur in person.

Outcomes favorable, or not, or lack of answers caused by these actions will not delay the trial date, as both sides have been afforded ample time, especially considering the delays I put on the file, to get this done prior to this point.

The process for these questions of the witness and/or defendant will be as follows.
Both parties will submit their line of questions to this file, which will be reviewed by myself and the opposition, once approved, or modified, the parties will send these questions to the opposing council's witness/defendant, ensuring to CC the respective opposite council. The respondents will be requested to respond, failure to do so within 48 hours the respondent's counsel is to reach out to their respective party, and ask them to respond, providing evidence of this and any responses returned, to this file, this will repeat every 48hrs until a response is submitted, or until the 11:59pm, on the 1st day of August. Please note, I expect parties to conduct themselves in accordance with the Barr association, Barr licensing, Ethics board, and the constitution during this, failure to submit the responses from the clients will be subject to review.

Evidence collect from this will be permitted to the court during the trial, at which times objections will be heard, and ruled on at that time.

The second option and my preferred, would be for the witness/defendant to join us during court for questioning, and to provide his recount of the events, at which time it is advised their councils prepare them, and have a list of questions read for both witness and defendant. This option will allow for cross-examination, statements, and objections to be lodged during the trial.

Questions are to be submitted here within 24hours for review, we will approve within the 24hours following should a party fail to respond to the questions proposed by the opposing counsel, the questions will be submitted under the assumption that the opposing council has no objections to the questions.

  • Honorable Judge Hyland and pertaining parties,

    Please find our list of questions for the defendant below. Additionally, the Prosecution will not be calling its witness to testify at trial and request that the Defense's questions be provided at their earliest convenience, should they still wish to ask them.
    List of questions
    1. Do you believe you can accurately recall the incident on 09/JAN/2024, and the events leading up to it?
    2. Which vehicle were you driving at the time?
    3. What were you doing immediately prior to the deputy pulling you over?
    4. Can you please describe the route you took that led you to drive on the incorrect side of the freeway?
    5. Was there any way for you to turn around and return the way you came?
    6. Why did you drive against the regular traffic flow instead of following it?
    7. Can you please remind us how you came into possession of the money that was found on your person and vehicle?
    8. Who paid you with this money?
    9. Did you notice the dye marks on the money?
    10. Did you have any reason to believe this was not legitimate money?
    11. Did you know that receiving stolen property, i.e. the marked money, and just having it on your person is illegal?
    As a notice, none of the proposed scheduling times fit for the Prosecution's primary counsel.

"EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW"

  • Attorney Williams,

    As requested please submit evidence the questions were forwarded to your client and their response stating they wish to exercise this right as a courtesy to the court.

    Please outline in relation to which questions they are exercising their 5th amendment, and provide written evidence of such.

    I presume your client wishes to exercise their 5th in relation to
    "No person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against themselves, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."

    I am of the opinion and based on the constitution that questions 1 through 7 will not be in violation of the 5th amendment as they outline the incident and additional backstory, should your client wish to exercise their right to not answer all questions that is acceptable but the statement of the officer will be considered the truth, unless evidence is provided to the contrary as currently we have the officers side only with no statement or notice from your client to challenge this.

    Best regards,


    Superior Judge

Docket Notice
"HERE FOR YOU | SAFE FOR YOU"

  • All parties,

    This notice is to serve as a general notification to all parties that the case has reached a verdict in the court of appeals.
    Associate Justice McFornell wrote:In summary, the orders and considerations adopted by Judge Hyland did materially force the defendant to testify, under penalty of having the police statements accepted as undisputed evidence against them, thereby violating their 5th Amendment rights. In conclusion, the Superior Court's decision is overturned and the case is remanded back to the Superior Court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
    The case will now be pending a notice of scheduling from the assigned judge, unless there are other matters that must be resolved first. Thank you to all parties for your patience.

    Respectfully,

    Defense would like to take more time for us to prepare as we still do not have a co-counsel. I respectfully ask for the full week to try and get it done.
