"EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW"
State of San Andreas v. Cyrus Raven
#24-CM-0020
A Motion for Involuntary Dismissal was filed in the above case on the 29th day of May, 2024
The Defendant, Cyrus Raven, by and through the undersigned attorney, filed this Motion for Involuntary Dismissal, and the reasoning for request is as follows;
- Reasoning: Undue Delay; violation of the defendant's 6th Amendment
- Detailed Explanation: The defense wishes to refresh its Motion for Involuntary Dismissal filed on 12/Apr/2024 and fully incorporate it herein insofar as it pertains to the alleged violation of Cyrus Raven's 6th Amendment; in part, "enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial".
To remind the Court and applicable parties where we are -- Cyrus Raven was arrested and charged in November 2023. And since that time, there has been no Constitutional protections pertaining to Cyrus Raven's 6th Amendment right guaranteeing that he would receive a speedy public trial, nor that such trial, if it ever happened, would be fair. From the perspective of the seemingly foreign concept of speedy trial, this case was activated by the Superior Court at the beginning of April 2024, and we are nearly in the month of June with effectively no movement on this matter other than Cyrus Raven and his defense team has finally seen the evidence amounted against Cyrus Raven for the first time in the 5 months Cyrus Raven had to wait before having this privilege (despite his right to be afforded the opportunity to confront the evidence and witnesses against him). Prior to receiving the discovery, the State requested a continuance in this matter -- despite the fact they had 5 months to get their 'ducks in a row', and the Court granted this continuance over the defense objection. So delay in activation and delay in being afforded the right to confront his accusers. Since this court-afforded delay, the defense has filed a motion to suppress evidence, and a motion to unseal evidence between 17-18/Apr/2024. On 6/May/2024 the Prosecution filed additional discovery beyond the Court ordered discovery window closing, and also a motion to amend charges. In response, the Defense filed a motion to suppress that evidence (due to the lack of timeliness by the State) and a response to the State's response to the defense motion to unseal evidence. The Defense also submitted evidence of its own around the same time. The prosecution would like to cite a case noting " the nature of the evidence, exigent circumstances within the prosecution department, time given to defense to review said evidence, amount of evidence being presented, etc. etc.", however, none of this is persuasive. It's a single piece of evidence the Prosecution has had in their possession this whole time, there are no "exigent circumstances" cited (other than maybe the Prosecution feeling pressured to try and find and make something stick at this point), or the amount of time the defense has had. Whether the Defense has this information or doesn't is irrelevant as the burden is on the State not the Defense, and this information has not been considered at this point because the defense has not been notified of the State intending on using it due to the lack of disclosure through discovery. Again, just yet another tactic to delay this matter further, without any consideration to Cyrus Raven's Constitutional right to a speedy trial.
To add further salt to injury, we filed a request for an update with the Court on 22/May/2024. This request is also being fully incorporated herein for reference. The Court responded several hours later promising "pending motions will be responded to in the following days. I appreciate your patience on this matter, you will hear from the court soon regarding motions and a full court decision. Just what is "following days" and "soon"? It's been a week now, and nothing has happened. Again, another delay with ZERO consideration to Cyrus Raven's Constitutional rights. It's been 7 months now, and with each passing day, it becomes greater in length.
Therefore, we respectfully request this case to be involuntary dismissed due to the repeated and persistent violations of Cyrus Raven's 6th Amendment right to a speedy trial.
