- GM19 - Face Concealment (b)
- GM12 - Giving False Information to a Police Officer
Narrative:
I went for a jog close to the scrapyard (next to Maze Bank Arena). as it was a hot day. I was approached by two Officers in a vehicle out of the blue, asking me for my ID.
I asked them why they needed it. They were unable to explain why apart from it was in relation to an investigation about someone who they were looking for.
I complied, although informed them that this very court appeal and an IA report would be filled. I do not think they had a valid reason to stop me on my jog, they were unable to provide me with a reasonable justification for the identification request like I was seen doing something or matched a description of someone they were looking for.
After I gave them my ID they then asked me where my bike was. At the time, I was under the impression that it was at the parking lot, although I was not sure. I informed them, although they hadn't read my rights at the time, that I would not be speaking without a lawyer present. Despite this I was continuously asked questions throughout the arrest process.
They eventually drove me to a random location where my bike alongside what looked to be my crowbar and clothing were found on the ground, all of which I had left in my bike as I only use the leather jacket and jeans when I ride my bike. They proceeded to take fingerprints of the crowbar, naturally finding mine on it.
Based on this, they charged me for vandalism and the other mentioned charges. To this day I do not know what I vandalized according to them. I'm not sure why I was arrested for having fingerprints on a crowbar I own...
I,
Frank Raven, hereby affirm that all information provided above is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, and understand that knowingly providing false information could result in additional charges and/or fines.
(( I affirm that all information submitted has been obtained via In-Character means.

Honourable Chief Justice Colt Daniels.,
The Defense would like to request a detailed reasoning from the prosecution regarding the
Motion for Continuance.
As the Criminal Court Filing Information article states, ''
In order to ensure that justice is administered properly and in a timely manner, we require that any criminal case be submitted within seven (7) days from the alleged incident.'', further stating ''
in which one of the Judicial Branch’s Judges will review evidence and testimony in both a professional and timely manner, evaluating legal arguments from a neutral and unbiased view so that proper justice may be upheld.''
While these regulations are pertaining to judges as well as the time limit appellants have to submit their cases, we only find it fair that a similar standard be held to the prosecution in delivering a speedy trial. This case was submitted on the
14th of May 2022, at the time of writing this,
36 days have elapsed. Additionally, two prosecutors have been appointed to this case, surely both of them are not involved in the ''recent inquiry''. As such, we request that whatever discovery has been gathered thus far be presented to the courts so that we are able to move on with the case.
Respectfully,
Frank Raven

- Honourable Daniels,
The prosecution would like to state at this moment for the court that under new evidence that has come to light that we are looking to add additional charges to Mr. Raven and specifically:
GF16 - Tampering with Evidence
Find the detailed explanation below
► Show Spoiler
On the 15th of May Mr. Raven was seen approaching Missionrow. In there Mr. Raven requested pieces of clothing that were taken from him in an active case that he is representing himself. PO1 Rico Gamble without proper experience and clearance opened the illegal evidence box for the case 22-CM-0022 and gave the clothing to Mr. Raven. Mr. Raven was seen on the CCTV cameras of Missionrow exiting the premises with the clothing and leaving. I am currently the Prosecuting Attorney for the case that Mr. Raven is representing and want to charge Mr. Raven for tampering with evidence. Not only did Mr. Raven knowingly took and requested evidence without proper motions or requests but reported it to no one afterwards in an effort to hide his actions. The prosecution was in the process of examining the pieces of clothing as they played a big role in the defense of the LSPD in said case, but when we approached the evidence box, the pieces of clothing were missing. We believe that this action is in complete violation of proper conduct and is criminal to say the least. The evidence that was taken from the box are now unadmissable and we are unable to use them for our case. The prosecution understands that for a person to be convicted of such crime he must knowingly take evidence and know that evidence is infact evidence that can be used in court. In this case as Mr. Raven is representing himself, and as he should know, the evidence box is where everything considered useful for an investigation is being held. This proves that
1) Mr. Raven knew that the clothing were part of evidence and
2) He knowingly took that evidence as he personally requested them from the ''evidence box''.
At this point it is also important to mention that Mr. Raven requested this clothing 3 days after that case was activated and a court order for the prosecution to present evidence was issued. This directly affected the way that the prosecution is able to submit evidence to the court and as such we submitted a criminal complaint for Mr. Raven. Lastly since his clothing were used to identify him, as the police officers mention in their personal statements, ''matching the description'' in order to verify if the person on the black gargoyle was Mr. Raven the police officers kept the clothing in the sealed evidence box for the sake of the court proceeding the Mr. Raven requested himself.
To finish off, the prosecution has no words for such actions and tampering with evidence. We believe that justice has been stolen from us and expect proper reprocusions for the actions of Mr. Raven. Please find below the footage taken from Mission Row:

Honourable Chief Justice Colt Daniels.,
The Defense has nothing further to add at this time and awaits discovery from the prosecution, keeping in mind the court order for discovery was issued on the
14th of June with a
7 day deadline.
We will refrain from commenting on the additional charge until Your Honor makes a ruling on the validity and admissibility of said charge.

- Dear Prosecutor Rasheed Briggs,
Since I was the main unit during this situation I will provide you with my statement of the case.
On the night of Saturday, 14th May 2022, Los Santos Police Department received a 911 call about ATM right next to Legion Square in Strawberry Avenue being robbed. My unit, 3-V-21, consisting of me and my partner Police Detective I Mikael Cowell were nearby to the call and responded immediately. We witnessed a Caucasian suspect with grey hair and black biker clothing smashing the ATM with a crowbar. As soon as we approached the suspect, he hopped onto his Gargoyle bike registered to Frank Raven and started evading. We initiated a pursuit which lead to a long chase of the said suspect. After a few minutes suspect went under the La Puerta Freeway next to the Scrapyard where AIR unit lost visual. Suspect ditched the vehicle and we lost him. We kept searching for him until we saw a very suspicious man with white hair without clothes running over the grass next to Dutch London Street which is very close to where we lost the suspect. Due to this we have had enough probable cause to identify the suspect, which after complaining a little bit, he gave us his identification. When we found out that his name was Frank Raven, matching the owner of pursued black Gargoyle, we had enough probable cause to detain him. He was cuffed, searched and placed inside a cruiser. After about five minutes units found the hidden Gargoyle next to La Puerta Freeway inside a bush. Conveniently we also found a crowbar and a lot of clothes dropped down on the ground next to the gargoyle. Saying this it means that by one hundred percent the suspect had to drop the items on the ground and leave the area without the clothes. Frank Raven kept telling us that someone stole his bike and that he wasn't being pursued and rather went on a jog without any clothes on. Detective Cowell proceeded to take prints from the items. Luckily enough Cowell found prints on the Crowbar. Later on it was proved that the prints were from Frank Raven, proving that he was the one to drop the crowbar next to his leftover motorcycle. The prints were undisturbed which means that it is impossible that someone with the gloves on would take the crowbar, because they would disturb the prints of Frank Raven and therefore we wouldn't find this in such preserved case, which is scientifically proven. Therefore we could be 100% confident that those prints were belonging to Frank Raven and that he was the one that last touched it, proving that he in fact evaded from us. Due to the evidence found and the fact that Frank Raven was matching general description to the suspect, we placed all the charges that he committed additional with providing false information to police officer. With the clear evidence we had more than a right to do so.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
Sincerely,
Police Officer II Ace Butoslav

- Attorney Briggs,
It all began when my unit, 3-V-21 consisting of myself and Officer Ace responded to an ATM robbery at Legion Square. Upon arrival we saw a man smashing the ATM with a crowbar. Once he saw us, he took off on a motorcycle, leading us to a chase.
We ultimately lost visual and were searching the general area of La Puerta for the motorcycle when we noticed a man wearing only boxers running from the area where visual had been lost. We detain him as we briefly question and attempt to identify him and where he's coming from. Not long from this, and a unit informs us over the radio that the motorcycle has been found.
Now, the motorcycle was abandoned from the direction of which he was running away from. The motorcycle is registered to Mr. Raven and all clothing used in the crime was left next to the bike. Conveniently enough, Mr. Raven had no clothing on him, which he had no explanation to other than "it was a hot day". Next to the pile of clothing was also a crowbar. This was the weapon used to attack the ATM. Upon lifting fingerprints from the crowbar, only fingerprints of Mr. Raven were found. It is important to remember that had the crowbar been tampered with after contact with Mr. Raven, would there most likely not be clean prints from him, but tampered fingerprints and maybe even fingerprints of another person.
My hypothesis is that whilst removing the clothing, Mr. Raven first undressed, then realizing the crowbar needs to be dropped too. At this point he would be almost naked, with no gloves, explaining the fingerprints.
As explained, unfortunately all exhibits of clothing are unadmissible, but the crowbar including fingerprint tape is still in the possession of the department. I believe Officer Ace also gave a good rundown of the situation, however if anything else is required, I'll be happy to assist.

Motion for Summary Judgment
Honorable Chief Justice Daniels,
- We the Defense in the case below are requesting a summary judgment.
State of San Andreas v. Frank Raven
Assigned Court Case Number: #22-CM-0022
Requesting Party: Frank Raven
Party Members: Frank Raven
Reasoning: Breach of Evidence handling protocol by the Los Santos Police Department
Detailed explanation:
The Los Santos Police Department has failed to properly maintain and keep evidence that is crucial to this case, admittedly by their own incompetence ''PO1 Rico Gamble without proper experience and clearance opened the illegal evidence box for the case 22-CM-0022 and gave the clothing'' leaving the defense with the inability to analyse and construct a proper defense.
Thank you for your consideration.

Frank Raven
