SUBPOENA REQUEST

---

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Huw Mason
#24-CM-0093

A Subpoena Request was filed in the above case on the 5th of April, 2025.

The Defendant, by and through the undersigned attorney, respectfully requests the issuance of a subpoena for the following documents and/or testimony:

• Documents/Information Requested:
  Extended CCTV footage from all interior and exterior CCTV cameras located at City Hall on 26/JUL/2024. This includes footage from the lobby, that captured the presence of Huw Mason (Parry), Lee Ping and any involved parties.
  
  • Purpose/Reasoning for Subpoena:
    The defense asserts that the current CCTV footage provided in Exhibit #2 and #3 is not complete and lacks critical context that would show the full nature of events before, during, and after the alleged incident. The footage in discovery is very limited, only showing a brief and edited segment which omits the lead-up to the interaction. This lack of full context presents an unfair and potentially misleading picture to the court.
    
    Although we understand that the discovery process has formally concluded and this case has been scheduled for trial multiple times, the requested footage is essential to ensuring a full and fair consideration of the facts. The footage may demonstrate Mr. Ping's behavior before the incident, interactions with multiple parties, and Mr. Parry’s demeanor and intent, and is therefore very crucial evidence. To proceed without this evidence would prejudice the defense’s ability to present the full truth and would undermine the fairness of this proceeding.
    
    Therefore, we respectfully request that this subpoena be issued in the interest of justice.

OBJECTION

---

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Huw Masons
#24-CM-0093

An Objection was filed in the above case on the 6th of March, 2025.

The State of San Andreas, by and through the undersigned attorney, filed this objection and requests following to be stricken from the record;

• Request being objected to:
  Defense subpoena requested filed 05/APR/2025
  
  • Detailed Reasoning: The Defense has had almost three (3) months to investigate this case, with a formal notification of counsel being posted by attorneys of Assured Law on the 14th of January. Furthermore, this case has been through three (3) rounds of scheduling so far, with two (2) rounds successfully scheduled but not completed due to the Defense pulling out at the last minute. This request was filed on the 5th of April, while scheduling was on track for a potential court date on either the 5th or 6th of April. Simply put, this subpoena request is filed too late, and any evidence submitted as a result of this subpoena will be filed too late to be permitted as evidence in a case still undergoing scheduling. In addition, this subpoena request is a fishing expedition by the Defense. They are unsure what any potential evidence might show or if it would even show anything at all. There is also no evidence provided on the docket, either by the Prosecution or the Defense, that would indicate that anything predated the defendant's assault on Mr. Lee Ping. As such, there is no foundation for this request, and the Prosecution is objecting to its approval in full.

REBUTTAL

---

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Huw Masons
#24-CM-0093

An Rebuttal was filed in the above case on the 6th of March, 2025.

The Defendant, by and through the undersigned attorney, filed this rebuttal and requests following to be stricken from the record;

• The Defense asserts that this request does not lacks foundation. In the indictment made by the prosecution, it states that "Mr. Parry admitted to the action, justifying it by stating that Mr. Ping was being ‘very difficult and annoying.’” This direct quote clearly refers to events and behavior that preceded the use of the taser. The CCTV currently in discovery shows no full context. That statement alone indicates that there was a prior interaction that contributed to Mr. Parry’s actions. The Defense has a right to access footage that would clarify what transpired prior to the incident especially since the Prosecution themselves rely on that context in their charging inducement.
  
  Regardless of prior scheduling attempts or delays, the priority of this court must be the pursuit of truth and justice. Not allowing the Defense access to full and relevant evidence undermines that principle and puts the Defendant at a big disadvantage and the prosecution should provide all evidence whether or not it helps their case or not. The CCTV surely contains more that a short section of the victim being tased and it should be provided. This is not an attempt to delay trial, but to ensure that the court is presented with a complete and truthful account of the events at City Hall.

Surrebuttal

---

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Huw Masons
#24-CM-0093

A Surrebuttal was filed in the above case on the 7th of April, 2025.

The State of San Andreas, by and through the undersigned attorney, presents a surrebuttal to the recent motion;

• The notion that someone is "difficult and annoying" is not indicative that something had had to happen before the incident, but rather a subjective statement about another person. In none of the evidence has there been any indication that there was an action preceding the tasing of Mr. Lee Ping, with witnesses even stating that Mr. Ping was conversing with agents about government employment before the incident, with no mention of any annoyance or disturbance conducted by Mr. Ping. The Prosecution reiterates its argument that no evidence has been presented that indicates any type of causality between the tasing of Mr. Ping and any potential previous action, and that the Defense's request should be denied.

COURT DECISION

---

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Huw Masons
#24-CM-0093

A decision was reached in the above case on the 16th day of April, 2025.

The court will be accepting the subpoena from the defense of CCTV from the point that Lee Ping first arrived at city hall on the 26/JUL/2024 to the point he left the property.

We understand the position of the prosecution based on the current length of the case and the possibility for the evidence to not reveal anything of use. However, the defense has the unique option of appealing a case after a verdict due to new evidence. It is possible that the defense would be helped via a full picture of events and the court cannot ignore that fact. ((Please do your best to either obtain the actual footage, submit /me's and /do's from involved parties that remember the incident, etc. The important part here will be making sure if it is written RP, that all involved parties approve.))

We want to note that the Government Security Bureau (GSB) is considered a part of law enforcement and therefore under the purview of the office of the Attorney General by way of the Constitution. That being said, the correct way to request this evidence would be via a Motion to Compel discovery as the prosecution or GSB is the opposing party in this case and not a third party. However the court will not be requiring the defense to resubmit the motion, and will instead request the prosecution comply within the next 7 days. Please submit a Motion for Continuance if more time is needed.

So Ordered,


Associate Justice
Branch Administrator

• Honorable Judge Kant and pertaining parties,
  
  The Prosecution will be unable to follow Your Honor's recent court order. On the 2nd of February, an attack was perpetrated against City Hall by a group of terrorists, as referenced in SASG's 'Press Release #88'. The attack specifically targeted the Government Security Bureau's offices, where all state CCTV and government employee bodycam footage was stored and archived. Due to the attack and subsequent damage to the facility, all archived CCTV footage from City Hall was lost. As such, the Prosecution will be unable to provide any of the evidence requested by the Defense.

MOTION FOR INVOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

---

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Huw Mason
#24-CM-0093

A Motion for Involuntary Dismissal was filed in the above case on the 22nd of April, 2025.

The Defendant, by and through the undersigned attorney, filed this Motion for Involuntary Dismissal, and the reasoning for request is as follows;

• Reasoning:
  The destruction of crucial court-ordered evidence has now rendered the Defendant unable to conduct a full and fair defense. The extended CCTV footage we requested from City Hall was deemed relevant and necessary by this very Court and it has now been declared permanently lost. This creates irreparable prejudice to the Defense and violates the Defendant's right to due process.
  
  • Detailed Explanation:
    On April 16, 2025, this Court granted our subpoena request for the full CCTV footage of Mr. Lee Ping’s time at City Hall on 26/JUL/2024. The Court explicitly recognized that such evidence could provide critical context to the alleged incident, stating that the Defense “may be helped via a full picture of events” and that the Court “cannot ignore that fact.”
    
    However, on April 20, 2025, the Prosecution posted to the docket stating to that all CCTV footage from City Hall on the date in question had been destroyed in a terrorist attack on February 2, 2025. This footage, which was vital to understanding Mr. Ping’s behavior prior to the taser deployment and Mr. Parry’s justification, is now permanently unavailable.
    
    This is not speculative but this is a direct loss of material evidence that the Court itself acknowledged as essential. In the indictment that the Prosecution has filed, the statement that Mr. Parry acted because Mr. Ping was being “very difficult and annoying.” suggests a buildup or interaction that justified further review. The Defense cannot adequately cross-examine the evidence, cannot fully develop its defense, and cannot correct or challenge potentially misleading impressions left by partial footage. So we ask this court do dismiss these charges, with prejudice.

OBJECTION

---

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Huw Masons
#24-CM-0093

An Objection was filed in the above case on the 24th of April, 2025.

The State of San Andreas, by and through the undersigned attorney, filed this objection, and requests the following motion be denied;

• Motion being objected to: Defense's Motion for Involuntary Dismissal
  
  • Detailed Reasoning: The Defense claims that the loss of compelled evidence has prejudiced the case against the defendant and violates their right to due process; the Prosecution is entirely opposed to these claims. The evidence in question, compelled by the court at the Defense's request, was not material, as the Defense claims, but speculative at best. In the filing of their subpoena request, the Defense states that the requested evidence "may demonstrate Mr. Ping's behavior before the incident, interactions with multiple parties, and Mr. Parry’s demeanor and intent". By their own admission, the Defense is unsure what this evidence would show, if it would even show anything, and whether it would be useful for their defense of the defendant or aid the Prosecution's case against the defendant.
    
    The Prosecution has presented evidence that describes Mr. Lee Ping's actions and behavior at the time of the incident; there is nothing to indicate that anything took place beforehand to make the defendant think of their victim as "very difficult and annoying" other than the defendant stating it themselves. The Defense has played a game of chance that did not end in their favor, and now they want to play a different game, though that is not an option; there is one game, and the Defense lost it. The Prosecution wholly objects to an involuntary dismissal on the grounds that the lost "material" evidence has not been proven to be of any significance in determining the defendant's guilt.

REBUTTAL

---

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

State of San Andreas v. Huw Masons
#24-CM-0093

An Rebuttal was filed in the above case on the 24th of April, 2025.

The Defendant, by and through the undersigned attorney, filed this rebuttal;

• Your Honor, this court requested the prosecution to provide footage which they SHOULD have already collected when they first gathered their evidence. The defense finds it highly unusual that they were able to gather PARTIAL CCTV but not the entire footage from that day in question. As we previously argued, there were clearly events that led up to the tazing of Mr. Ping and the CCTV would show this. We assert that proceeding without all the context, puts the defendant at an unfair disadvantage and it goes against their rights.

• Honorable Judge Kant and pertaining parties,
  
  The Prosecution will reiterate its argument from the objection. The Prosecution fulfilled all its duties and pursued all avenues indicated when conducting its investigation. During this investigation there were zero indication that anything of interest could potentially have had happened outside of the scope parameters of the investigation, and were thus not followed.
  
  The Defense is questioning the Prosecution's integrity and capability in executing its duties, which is untrue and preposterous, and the court should not entertain it. The Prosecution has no further responses to the Defense's motion.
