"EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW"
State of San Andreas v. Mike Luigi
#24-CM-0030
A Motion for Involuntary Dismissal was filed in the above case on the 5th day of November, 2024
The Defendant, Mike Luigi, 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:
Beginning sometime around June 2023, the Defendant DBA "Total Bankers" became the source of an investigation by the Office of the Attorney General. This investigation resulted in a criminal complaint being filed and this Court filed an indictment against the Defendant a year later, in June 2024. The case was put on a long-term pause in July 2024 ((OOC issues that needed resolved)), which the Defendant did not object to.
On 23/Sep/2024, Ms. Hope Kant recused herself as the prosecutor, and noted she had made "the necessary arrangements to bring the Attorney General up to speed". The Attorney General notified this Court of their entry of appearance the following day, 24/Sep/2024. Plea negotiations began soonthereafter between Defendant and Counsel and the Attorney General, which failed on 6/Oct/2024. The Defendant entered their "not guilty" pleas with this court, which begins the proverbial clock on speedy trial. Defendant's counsel made notice to the Court of invocation of the Defendant's right to speedy trial on the same date.
The first actionable delay and infringement of the Defendant's right to speedy trial occurred with the Court not ordering the prosecution to provide discovery until 17/Oct/2024, 11 days after it was demanded.
Once ordered, the prosecution had until 24/Oct/2024 to provide discovery, following standard protocol. On day 6 of the 7 (23/Oct/2024), the State requested an unprecedented 10-day continuance, which would have extended the deadline to 3/Nov/2024. The Defense objected on grounds of the continuance being unprecedented, based in part on the fact standard practice is that continuances can be granted for up to 7 days, and based on the fact the prosecution had been investigating the Defendant since June 2023 -- therefore had 17 months to collect their evidence to comply with the court order. The Court denied the motion, and the deadline remained 24/Oct/2024.
The second actionable delay and infringement of the Defendant's right to speedy trial occurred with the State not complying with this order, and continues to the present.
On 24/Oct/2024 (the deadline for discovery), the Prosecution files an appeal in the Court of Appeals and files a Motion to Stay these proceedings pending outcome of the appeal. The Defense objected to the motion to stay pending appeal, arguing a number of issues. But most importantly, the outcome of the appeal will be either a decision from the Court of Appeals affirming the decision of this Court or overturning the decision of this court. Regardless of what decision is adopted, the point of contention is whether the State should have been allowed to have 10 additional days for their continuance or not, but ultimately the 10 day requested period has come and gone. On 1/Nov/2024, Defense posted a motion to, again, compel discovery citing this very issue -- the Prosecution has subverted the Court and the Defendant's Constitutional rights as evidenced by the fact the Prosecution has not only overstayed the Order of this Court, but has overstayed their own initial request under the guise of an appeal. The Defense offered a "cure" to the appeal by agreeing to abandon the issue of the continuance (and any appellate issues therein), if the State presented their discovery by 2359 hours on 3/Nov/2024 (per the State's own request). However, neither State nor Court responded to the Defense motion, forming the third actionable delay and infringement of the Defendant's right to speedy trial.
The Defense notified the Court of Appeals (via e-mail) of it's objection to the appeal on grounds of requested appeal not meeting the criterion set by the Court of when an appeal could be filed in the first place -- the decision was not a granted motion, nor involving an improper verdict catalyzed by misinterpretation of the law by a judge or new evidence of innocence coming to light. If the Prosecution claims the appeal was a necessary move to file an appeal in their "search for justice", then the Prosecution should have no issue complying with their very own request to provide discovery by 3/Nov/2024. It is evident the State never intended on complying with the Order of the Court, and filed their motion for continuance with full knowledge it would be objectionable, and when a decision was rendered against their interests, they would file an appeal to delay this matter.
The Defense has utilized all possible mechanisms of addressing this issue via legal methods (e.g. petitioning this Court, filing complaints, discussions among the parties, and offering to abandon the objection to continuance in favor of progressing the case), to no avail. At this point, the Defense believes the ONLY reasonable way to guarantee the Defendant's Constitutional right (not a privilege, or an option, but a right) and cure for these transgressions against the Defendant's Constitutional rights is for via punitive measures against the Office of the Attorney General in the form of total case dismissal.
