CASE NO 040920222003
UNITED STATES OF ARGONATH VS. ALLISON LEONARD
I. Introduction
Greetings to the Vice City Supreme Courts,
On the 22nd of August 2022, Agent Aiden Harris was assaulted by a man known simply as Sir Alli. The individual appeared to be experiencing some sort of delusions, as though he was in an imaginary or fictional setting. This is corroborated by his identification of a katana as a "+5 fire damage enchanted sword" and an MP5 submachine gun as a "magic wand of lightning. Agent Harris' life, as a result of the actions of this apparently delusional individual in possession of a firearm and a deadly melee weapon, was placed in jeopardy.
II. Case Breakdown
On the day in question, the 22nd of August 2022, Agent Harris visited a local AmmuNation store in an undercover capacity. There, he was confronted by two men. The defendant identified himself merely as "Sir Alli" and therefore will be identified as such during this trial until the legal identity of this individual is established.
Agent Harris was confronted by Sir Alli, who assumed that he was a "rogue, thief or assassin". Agent Harris was also further confronted and intimidated by Sir Alli's brandishing of a katana, labelling it as a "+5 fire damage enchanted sword". Despite the Agent's attempts to purchase a firearm from the store and leave, Sir Alli then used a submachine gun to strike the Agent with the barrel of the firearm, knocking him over and causing him to fall onto the ground, a blatant act of assault with a deadly weapon. Sir Alli then claimed that "he got real hurt cause i have +10 strength bonus". The Agent then left the building, informing Sir Alli that his lawyer would contact him. Having done so, Sir Alli then fired the MP5 submachine gun in his possession at the Agent's vehicle, destroying the tyres, therefore vandalizing his property and endangering his safety. Sir Alli claimed the firearm was a "magic wand of lightning". Given the use of the firearm and the imminent risk to the Agent's life subsequently caused by the discharge of the firearm, the United States will consider it to also be a second count of assault with a deadly weapon [1].
Given the potential delusions of this individual and the dangers that may be posed by Sir Alli possessing any kind of firearm, the United States is immediately prosecuting this individual in the interests of public safety and to eliminate any possible threat(s) to life and property.

NOTICE OF ESCALATION
[1]. The Supreme Court of the United States notifies the defendant and the prosecution that, due to administrative and bureaucratic issues within the judiciary, this case has been escalated directly to I, Justice Michael Cleveland, Interim Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
[2]. For the reference of all involved, in the absence of a permanent Chief Justice of the United States, I, Justice Michael Cleveland, have been confirmed in an interim capacity by the United States Government to act as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States until further notice or nomination of a permanent Chief Justice.
[3]. I note that this case has been in process since September 04, 2022. It is the opinion of this court that enough time has elapsed for any and all litigation and further submissions. Further submissions will not be accepted as the court is set to hand down its verdict.
[4]. As this case is before the United States Supreme Court, and furthermore before the Chief Justice, this court makes clear that this is a final judgment and cannot be appealed.
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES (SCOTUS)
CASE BREAKDOWN AND EVALUATION
[1]. I call on the defendant, Mr. Allison Leonard, to rise.
Assault with a Deadly Weapon - Count One
[2]. Per the Vice City Criminal Law 2021:
Section 5: Crimes against Person(s)
Article 9: Assault with a deadly weapon - An assault that is committed with any type of deadly weapon, such as a firearm, or using force that is likely to cause great bodily injury to another.
[Emphasis original]
[3]. There is no evident lawful purpose behind the brandishing of a firearm or other weapon, as clearly demonstrated in the evidence. It is evident that Agent Aiden Harris posed no threat; rather this court sees Mr. Harris being confronted by two individuals, one of whom (Mr. Leonard) is brandishing a katana.
[4]. Despite Agent Harris clearly stating that Mr. Leonard was scaring him with the katana, Mr. Leonard continued to do so, showing signs of aggression over Mr. Harris refusing to indulge his deluded fantasies.
[5]. I note that Mr. Leonard then labelled Agent Harris as a "son of a bitch shit eater" before proceeding to assault the Agent by attacking him using the barrel of his MP5 sub-machine gun.
[6]. Given that the barrel of such a firearm is made of metal and the rest of the weapon is generally a hard polymer, as well as the risk of discharging the firearm through its reckless use and the definition of such per the Criminal Code, I accept the notion of the prosecution that this constitutes Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
[7]. As such, this court sets a precedent that Assault with a Deadly Weapon does not necessarily require severe injury, or for that matter, any injury, to be caused, nor the discharge of a firearm or use of a melee weapon capable of, and causing, significant injury. Attacking someone using a deadly weapon, per the definition of this crime, is in itself able to be considered Assault with a Deadly Weapon. It is for a competent court to determine the extent of injuries caused, the way in which the said deadly weapon was used, and the intent behind the crime in question, and judge accordingly.
Assault with a Deadly Weapon - Count Two
[8]. This court notes that Mr. Leonard has discharged an MP5 submachine gun, the same used in the first count of Assault with a Deadly Weapon, towards Mr. Harris' vehicle, in which he was seated.
[9]. It is the opinion of this court that an individual does not necessarily have to be physically harmed in order to constitute assault. For instance, were one to throw a punch and miss, it would still be considered an act of battery.
[10]. Per the definition cited in the Criminal Code:
Section 5: Crimes against Person(s)
Article 7: Battery - Willfully and unlawfully using force or violence upon another.
[Emphasis original]
[11]. An act of Battery is defined as the willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon another, however, there is no legal requirement of injury to occur for such a use of violence or force to constitute Battery.
[12]. This court's interpretation of Article 9, as it pertains to Assault with a Deadly Weapon, is noted in the precedent set in Paragraph 7.
[13]. It is my opinion that this act, just as stated in the aforementioned precedent, does not necessarily require injury to be caused to constitute Assault with a Deadly Weapon. Furthermore, in this case, the discharge of the firearm towards Mr. Harris poses a significant risk of injury, anyway, which only reinforces the case made by the prosecution.
[14]. I therefore consider the second count of Assault with a Deadly Weapon to be valid.
Endangerment
[15]. Per the Vice City Criminal Law 2021:
Section 5: Crimes against Person(s)
Article 12: Endangerment - Knowingly engaging in conduct that creates a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury to another.
[16]. The evidence submissions by Agent Harris clearly show, not just in one but both counts of Assault with a Deadly Weapon, that there is indeed a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.
[17]. Mr. Leonard assaulted Agent Harris inside of the Downtown AmmuNation using his weapon, striking him in the face. This court does believe that the way in which Mr. Leonard assaulted Agent Harris plausibly risked a head injury and/or neurological damage to the Agent.
[18]. It is also clear to this court that when Mr. Leonard opened fire on the Agent's vehicle, with the Agent inside, that there was a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury to the Agent, were he to be wounded by the gunfire. Irrespective of whether or not this occurred, there was a substantial risk of such an occurrence.
[19]. It is also evident that Mr. Leonard committed both of these acts willfully and knowingly. Whether he was doing so with full mental capacity, and whether or not Mr. Leonard can be considered sane, however, is another matter.
Vandalism
[20]. Per the Vice City Criminal Law 2021:
Section 9: Crimes against Property
Article 11: Vandalism - A person that defaces, damages, or destroys property that belongs to another.
[21]. It is noted by this court that Mr. Leonard opened fire on Agent Harris' vehicle. This would have resulted in bullet holes to the doors and fenders of the car, judging by the angle and direction at which Mr. Leonard fired from.
[22]. It is also noted by this court that two of Agent Harris' tires were visibly punctured, deflated and damaged as a result of the gunfire. It is also further noted that Mr. Harris, in fear of his life, was forced to drive his vehicle despite the flattened tires, resulting in the bare metal of the wheels making contact with the asphalt as he drove. It is plausible to this court that this could've caused further damage, and it is the opinion of this court that Mr. Leonard, having caused the circumstances for such, should be held liable.
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES (SCOTUS)
JUDGEMENT AND RULING - ALLISON LEONARD
Sentencing
[23]. I find the defendant GUILTY of two counts of Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
[24]. I find the defendant GUILTY of two counts of Endangerment.
[25]. I find the defendant GUILTY of one count of Vandalism.
Fines and Imprisonment
[26]. I accept the demands of the prosecution and consider them well-founded and appropriate, given the gravity of the offences. However, as the prosecution has stated, the defendant's sanity must be called into question, given the circumstances.
[27]. I also note that the prosecution has demanded a penalty of $20,000 ARD for one count of Endangerment. I consider this an appropriate demand, however, as the defendant has been found guilty of two counts, this penalty will be doubled.
[28]. In the event that the defendant be declared sane, I issue the defendant a total monetary penalty of $90,000 ARD. I order, that should the defendant be unable to pay the total penalty, that any property, businesses, vehicles or other assets in the possession of the defendant, be liquidized to pay the penalty. Any remaining funds from the liquidation of assets should be sent to the Treasury. I order that should the defendant be declared insane, no monetary penalty shall be imposed.
[29]. I order the defendant, Allison Leonard, to be immediately submitted to a psychiatric hospital for examination and a mental assessment. I order the United States Marshals to take the defendant into custody and arrange immediate transport back to Vice City for admission to a psychiatric facility.
[30]. I order that should the defendant be declared insane by a qualified psychiatric institution, that they be sentenced to treatment in a psychiatric hospital for a minimum of 12 months (1 minute), including solitary confinement where deemed appropriate by a psychiatric institution. I order that this sentence is eligible for extension if advised by medical professionals responsible for the defendant's evaluation in any further request and deposition submitted by the facility, under penalty of perjury.
[31]. I order that should the defendant be declared sane by a qualified psychiatric institution, that they be sentenced to 8 years (8 minutes) imprisonment.
[32]. Per the Constitution for the State of Vice:
Section 3: Rights and Freedoms
Article 1: All persons that fall under the scope and authority of this constitution are entitled to the following rights, of which they can not be deprived;
K. Freedom to possess certain weapons, however not to openly hold or wield such weapons in public spaces.
Article 2: The following rights; Section 3; Art 1A, 1B, 1G, 1J and 1K may be limited and/or deprived in matters of national security.
Article 3: The following rights; Section 3; Art 1A, 1B, 1E, 1J, and 1K may be limited and/or deprived in cases where it is provided as a penalty by law.
[33]. Under Articles 2 and 3 of Section 3 of the Constitution, I order the imposition of an interim weapons prohibition order on the defendant, Mr. Allison Leonard.
[34]. I order that the terms of this prohibition order are that the defendant, Mr. Allison Leonard, may not legally possess any firearm or weapon for the duration of this order.
[35]. I order that the terms of this prohibition order may be enforced by all municipal, state and federal authorities. I order that any relevant law enforcement authority must, in the event of a sighting of the defendant, Allison Leonard, in possession of a firearm or weapon during the imposition of this prohibition order, arrest Mr. Leonard, charge him with Endangerment, and bring him to trial immediately. I further order that should the defendant be found guilty of such, that a presiding judge must also further charge the defendant with Contempt of Court under Section 10, Article 3 of the Criminal Code.
[36]. I order that this interim prohibition order shall be cancelled in the event that a psychiatric institution finds the defendant to be sane, in which case, the defendant will be imprisoned in a correctional facility.
[37]. I order that this interim prohibition order shall be imposed permanently in the event that Mr. Leonard is declared insane by a psychiatric institution, on grounds of penalty by law and in the interests of both public safety and national security.
[38]. I order that a permanent prohibition order shall be cancelled in the event that the defendant, Mr. Allison Leonard, submits a cancellation request to the court after appropriate treatment. The requirements of this request are that he provides a sworn affidavit by a qualified psychiatrist, containing a declaration under penalty of perjury, that the defendant, Mr. Allison Leonard, is of sound mental capacity to possess a firearm or weapon in public. I further order that the said psychiatrist is to be subpoenaed before the court for a deposition in this cancellation request, under penalty of perjury, to validate and confirm the authenticity of, and information contained within, the affidavit.
I certify that the preceding thirty-eight (38) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Chief Justice Michael Cleveland.
ORDERED, on this 21st day of December, 2025.
Signed,
Michael Cleveland
