Motion to Supress
State of San Andreas v. Frank Haswell
To whom it may concern,
The defense, in light of evidence presented by the prosecution in Exhibits #14 and #15, respectfully moves to suppress both exhibits fully for the following reasons:
- The exhibits presented by the prosecution, namely Exhibit #14 (Jack Goodnight Chronology of Events) and Exhibit #15 (Assistant Warden Issei Schneider Witness Statement), lack relevance to the case at hand. While the chronology of events provided in Exhibit #14 outlines past encounters involving Mr. Jack Goodnight with law enforcement, the defense contends that the time elapsed since his last charge demonstrates his efforts to reintegrate into society and lead a law-abiding life. Notably, Mr. Goodnight's last charge occurred approximately [insert time frame] ago, indicating that he has served his time to society for his past actions. Additionally, the witness statement in Exhibit #15, dated February 01, 2024, reflects information that is around 2 months old. In the time since then, Mr. Goodnight has undergone significant personal growth and is committed to making positive contributions to society. Therefore, the exhibits fail to establish a direct connection to the charges against the defendant, Frank Haswell, and should be suppressed.
- Admitting Exhibits #14 and #15 into evidence would infringe upon the defendant's right to a fair trial as guaranteed by the Constitution. By allowing irrelevant and prejudicial evidence to be presented before the jury, the court risks unfairly influencing the perception of the jury and denying Mr. Haswell his fundamental right to due process.
The defense would also like to note again that there are multiple people who are in Supervisor+ Positions in Government Agencies who were given a chance to prove that they were changed.
The defense would like to state that we would be more than happy to submit a witness list and have jack goodnight take the stand so that he can speak his truth and you can ask him questions in trial. But there is no reason for the prosecution to continue outcasting my client for choices he has made and regretted in the past.
((On an OOC Note as well with the way that IRL time is portrayed ICly this would mean that Jack Goodnight has been clean for a reasonable amount of time. We urge you to also view this from a OOC level within the latter of the IRL time conversion to IC time.))
Respectfully,
