Charging Department: LSPD
Time & Date of Incident(s): 10/JUL/2022
Charge(s):
Evading an Officer, Possession of Illegal Firearms, Tampering with Evidence, Armed Robbery, Possession of a Controlled Substance while Armed
Narrative:
I was driving my motorcycle going towards the city, when some cop on a bike tells me to pull over and ID. I comply, next thing I know is I'm getting jumped by three different units. I drove off cause I know I'd get busted for the gun on me, on top of a pack of money I had been unable to unload earlier in the day. When they found the pack they decided I had gotten it through armed robbery. And yes, while I carried a firearm illegally, I hadn't been part of any robbery or been complicit to anything like it, ending up with me receiving unfounded charges. I was also charged with controlled substance possession while armed, even though I didn't have no drugs on me. I filed a complaint against the charging officer to LSPD IAG, but they decided it was not worth their time to investigate one of their officers fabricating charges with no evidence to back it.
I, [Martin James], 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. ))

- Honorable Mason,
A deposition may be taken only in exceptional circumstances when it is in the interest of justice that the testimony of a prospective witness of a party be taken and preserved. The Prosecution notes that as there is a complete incident overview of bodycam footage available, the Motion to Compel Discovery is absolutely disproportional given the facts and circumstances of the underlying case.

- Parties,
While I can understand the defense's intention to get more information and clarity regarding this case, the Judicial Branch does not currently require officers to take part in the deposition process, and thus, I will not be requiring that the requested officers sit for depositions.
While the information that could have been provided in the depositions may end up proving useful by the prosecution to dispel reasonable doubt, it is ultimately up to both parties to choose to undertake the process of a deposition. Similarly, I am currently unable to compel individuals to be present for witness examination on the stand at trial.
Therefore, unless there are further motions to be considered, this case is now pending trial. Please use this scheduling tool to mark your upcoming availability.
Respectfully,
Associate Justice
