[Badboyz]

Hello Court followed by Supreme Judge Danny James.

First of all,I would like to thank the court for reopening this case and giving me an opportunity to speak out from my side.I,Denzel Grey would like to speak out few things that haven't been point out in the evidence given by Officer Peter Latch.I have admitted my crime which I "attempted" to bribe one suspect for his crime.I have brought the suspect along with my own car and we were negotiating as I offered a deal for the suspect to let him go free and I have noticed another strange officer on-duty approaching towards us while I was negotiating with the suspect so without hesitation,I brought the suspect to a more secured place to discuss regarding our deal in-depth.Unfortunately,I crashed during that time and couldn't show up in proper time as I was having some problems.After a few days,when I was back in server.I was walking around my house,grabbing a cigar and checking the surroudings.Then,I noticed 3 cruisers parked right in front of my house which is located at Cerveza Heights.After a few minutes,I started jogging near my house,while I was crossing the cruisers,I noticed one female officer on-duty not sure about her name approaching towards me and apologizing me for nothing.While we were having conversation,I quickly jogged away ignoring the police officer and was suspected for "Evading" if I am not mistaken in few split of seconds after getting away from the female officer on-duty.Then,I jumped over the fence of my house and got surrounded by a bunch of officer pointing guns towards me and invading to my house without giving a proper warrant as a proof and started threatening my friend as he asked for a proper warrant.As I am the owner of the house,I felt very disappointed regarding the attitude showed by a bunch of officers invading in our house without even showing a proper warrant.Then,without even knowing the actual reason I was suspected for,I admitted the crime so that the officers would leave the place and bring me to investigation as they actually did.While we were having the investigation,one of the officer explained to me about my crime but no proper warrant was showed that proving me guilty upon my crime which I bribed the suspect.After concluding the investigation,I admitted my following crime for bribing and refused to sign the confession as the officer was threatening that I have to pay an lump amount of 20.000 $ and serve a 60 Years jail [6 hours] if I refuse to sign the confession or 10 years [1 hour] and some amount of money if I am not mistaken.Also,I would like to call my friend "Psyron" who witnessed this incident and living with me.

[Kerbe]

Dear court and mr. Grey

Firstly, I would like to point out the sentence "after few days" in Mr. Grey's defense actually refers to a period of almost a month.

Also, to clarify, you are not accused of "bribing the suspect", but of escaping with a suspect and offering to clean his record for a bribe.

Now, to Mr. Grey's defense. The warrant has been executed by LCPD Senior officer Kevin Parker and Officers Angela Ann and Anita Ann. Senior officer Parker was the operation leader, Officer Angela was the one who has shown the warrant and later performed the interrogation. Officer Angela has presented the warrant properly and both officers who have been present can confirm it.

If you still feel disappointed by LCPD staff trespassing your property, I will provide you with an excerpt of LCPD procedures:

5. LCPD operative (Sen. Officer +) is allowed to cross, search or raid private properties without warrant:

A. When the owner or staying in the respective property civilian is stated as a criminal (example: wanted).
B. When the owner is not stated as criminal but gives a permission for it.

This being said, our staff would be allowed on your property even if it had no warrant, which it actually had. Therefore I would like to have the accusation of trespassing private properties without any reason completely disregarded.

Mr. Grey also fails to mention the part when he threatens to "hunt down" the interrogators once he is released (see Interrogation record tape part 1).

I would like to point out Mr. Grey has repeatedly admitted to his crimes, but has refused to sign a confession when presented to him. As the warrant has been executed properly, I request the charges and proposed penalties to remain unchanged.

Best Regards

State Judge has informed your friend Psyron wants to be your legal counsel. He has been approved and are allowed to reply to this court case.

[psyron]

your honor,

firstly, i would like to question the court itself on why the case was given a verdict without a proper trial? my client was not given the basic right as a citizen of LC to defend himself of the accusation dropped on him. i would like an answer to that respected court.

secondly your honor, i was the witness during the arrest when the mentioned LCPD officers came in. on asking the officers for their outrageous entry into our compound, one officer([Apt]Redbullet) showed me an arrest warrant for denzel grey ( /me shows warrant). after i saw the warrant (/me sees the warrant), i backed off and let LCPD do their work. denzel being the accused tried to retort back and was cuffed and taken away for interrogation eventually in some minutes. i must mention, the officers presented us an RP warrant and not the actual copy of the warrant posted here. we were mentioned by both the officers involved(anita and angela) that it was issued by the LCPD chief Kerbe and the Supreme court judge Deejay, but with no proof but a mere RP warrant in-game. ( we RPed accordingly as we thought it was just RP and nothing serious, me and denzel like being arrested in RP)

during the arrest, as i was shown the warrant and i backed off i didnt try to help denzel or try anything that could be a threat to the officers. one LCPD officer (angela) /suspected me of interefering when i was not even doing anything wrong. i was in my own house and LCPD has no right to throw me out of the house for no reason, upon protesting back, i was unsuspected by another officer. your honor, an officer of the law is deemed to atleast question the person before /suspecting someone, failure to do this is considered misuse of power. there has been another instance of this with the same officer(angela) where he was found misusing his duty rights but im not going to derail the case by saying that.

if denzel has admitted his crime as attempting to help a suspect escape, LCPD has complete right to question him of his activities and take necessary actions according to his crime. however me as a lawyer would like to state that the evidence shown in the warrant is not quite convincing to me. LCPD patrol unit sue_gvardia states that it was denzel grey who attempted to help the suspect, but im not sure how she recognized denzel or even know him personally from far because denzel was in his own car. she mentions that when she tried to engage, they both jumped in the car and fled away. proving that she wasnt near to them. because if she was near, she could easily carjack him. possible framing or blackmailing my client your honor.

not to mention, the interrogation was seen going on in a civilian car according to the evidence tape, LCPD might need to rethink their procedures.

i was informed that denzel's interrogation was going on in a small safe house like room in shottle by a close friend. i was shocked to hear that the interrogation is going on in a safe house (a small room) and not the PD so i took the opportunity to see whats going on. it was the same small room which me and my friends used to engage in activities which is not relevant to discuss it here but im sure you know what i mean your honor.

so when i was at the location, just outside the door where it was going on, i heard them speaking about something to do with corrupt cop. only then i came to know about the reason of the warrant(they did not mention why he was getting arrested when we at our compound, they mentioned it during the interrogation only). the interrogation tape does impy anything specific. he just shouts and admits "Yes im guilty!", but of what? why hasnt been the reason recorded? something the LCPD is trying to hide? what is the interrogation tape trying to convey? LCPD needs to be specific of its details if they are filing a case without a solid proof.

during the interrogation i couldnt hear much but i did hear about a 20k fine and 3-6hrs jailtime (real money and real time respectively), thats when i got agitated and called the admin(Mido)*. why doesnt the interrogation tape show that?  they threatened denzel with a huge amount and longer sentence than provided by the LCPD chief himself, are they trying to have a commission from him? or just misusing their powers to overpower a citizen of LC? if they are high rank officers and experienced ones, im sure they are pretty much aware of the fines and punishment that are imposed on criminals.

with the above being said, i would request the court to rethink about the charges stated on my client denzel grey and also take necessary actions for better and professional police procedures in the future.

personal legal council for the accused, denzel grey


personal opinion

all along i thought it was just a fun RP and nothing serious so i dint heed much attention on it and enjoyed it untill i heard about real IG money and real jail time getting involved. we like to RP as a criminal and we dont have income at all. RPing was the only element which was free of cost and we all enjoyed it. we had many plans with another group/family but i dropped it all.

[DeeJay]

Mr Psyron, are you sure you are in the right position to questioning my authority? May I remind you are not technically the official state lawyer, so I advise you to choose your words carefully. And to add this. Doesn't matter if you were involved or not. You are here to do a proper counciling to Mr Grey and not pointing out unrelated stuff. And also don't try to put words into my mouth. I have evaluate the evidence of Mr Grey. And he has even admitted his own fault in this, and for the sentences.. Noone but the court itself can tell what sentences you will recieved, LCPD can only suggest it gets longer, but it's still the court who decides it. And even if the fine would be 20k and a 3 hour jail, half of the fine would go to the L.C.C.

[psyron]

with due respect your honor, i do not mean contempt of court by any means. but i guess its not only me, but everybody wants to know why the accused was sentenced without even letting him defend himself in the court of law. i blv there was no need to file a court case for that reason and have it done internally instead, your honor.

also, i beg to state that the warrant that was issued in an RP manner, we were not shown the actual copy as i have already mentioned above. if we were shown the actual warrant, denzel and including me would have acted accordingly and seriously. i know im not a legal state lawyer, but i do know my rights your honor. LCPD cheif Kerbe says the warrant was executed properly, however we never received any copy of the warrant.

i also do not mean to disrespect or try to expose the LCPD, but circumstances were such that i had to mention about it.

[DeeJay]

So Mr Psyron you claim you haven't been shown the actual copy of the warrant against Denzel Grey? I was told it was sent to him both ingame and on the forums.

[psyron]

denzel had received the warrant on 6 january, whereas the arrest and the interrogation took place on the 4th of january. proof below

Spoiler for Hiden:

the interrogation tape records it on 4/1/2015



LCPD chief kerbe sends the warrant 2 days after i.e on 6/1/2015

i would like to point out another thing along with it. the LCPD officers didnt even mention why denzel was getting arrested when he was taken away, they mentioned it during the interrogation only. proof below

Spoiler for Hiden:

angela saying "Alright do you know why you are here?" proves that he was not given any information during the arrest, but only during the interrogation.

[Kerbe]

Dear court and misters Grey and Psyron

during the arrest, as i was shown the warrant and i backed off i didnt try to help denzel or try anything that could be a threat to the officers. one LCPD officer (angela) /suspected me of interefering when i was not even doing anything wrong. i was in my own house and LCPD has no right to throw me out of the house for no reason, upon protesting back, i was unsuspected by another officer. your honor, an officer of the law is deemed to atleast question the person before /suspecting someone, failure to do this is considered misuse of power. there has been another instance of this with the same officer(angela) where he was found misusing his duty rights but im not going to derail the case by saying that.

Mr. Psyron, you have been following our officers and Mr. Grey even after you've been instructed not to, and that's why you've been suspected later, correctly. Later on, you've been unsuspected on suspecting officer's request due to excessive complaining.

not to mention, the interrogation was seen going on in a civilian car according to the evidence tape, LCPD might need to rethink their procedures.

Completely false.

i was informed that denzel's interrogation was going on in a small safe house like room in shottle by a close friend. i was shocked to hear that the interrogation is going on in a safe house (a small room) and not the PD so i took the opportunity to see whats going on.

This contradicts what you have said above. To elaborate the usage of a "safe house": no police department has an interior and standing near a PD could result into jailing by a random player. The safe house was used as its interior is very similar to a one of an interrogation room.

Following our officers who were executing a warrant out of curiousity might as well be seen as an attempt to obstruct justice. You have been clearly told not to and even suspected for interfering before, so you have had absolutely no right nor reason to be there, listening behind the door.

it was the same small room which me and my friends used to engage in activities which is not relevant to discuss it here but im sure you know what i mean your honor.

I ask the court to pay attention to this remark. If I understand what mr. Psyron means correctly, and what you are also supposed to understand by his own words, he has also been engaged in illegal activities before, and is now trying to cover his friend Mr. Grey by possibly providing false statements. Please consider whether the statement of a former criminal is more likely to be believed than those of three skilled officers who have sworn to protect the city.

so when i was at the location, just outside the door where it was going on, i heard them speaking about something to do with corrupt cop. only then i came to know about the reason of the warrant(they did not mention why he was getting arrested when we at our compound, they mentioned it during the interrogation only). the interrogation tape does impy anything specific. he just shouts and admits "Yes im guilty!", but of what? why hasnt been the reason recorded? something the LCPD is trying to hide? what is the interrogation tape trying to convey? LCPD needs to be specific of its details if they are filing a case without a solid proof.

False and also very speculative, without any direct or indirect proof implying the LCPD is trying to hide something. Our proofs are very solid.

Mr. Grey have been informed of why he is being arrested twice before taken to the interrogation, by both Officers Angela Ann and Anita Ann. He has been informed of those accusations again on the beginning of the interrogation.

during the interrogation i couldnt hear much but i did hear about a 20k fine and 3-6hrs jailtime (real money and real time respectively), thats when i got agitated and called the admin(Mido)*. why doesnt the interrogation tape show that?  they threatened denzel with a huge amount and longer sentence than provided by the LCPD chief himself, are they trying to have a commission from him? or just misusing their powers to overpower a citizen of LC? if they are high rank officers and experienced ones, im sure they are pretty much aware of the fines and punishment that are imposed on criminals.

Back to the case of obstructing justice mentioned before. You have had no right to be there or to eavesdrop on the interrogation. This argument has been obtained illegaly, and though it has no value, I request it not to be taken into consideration by the court.

The interrogators may propose any penatly they deem necessary. Mr. Grey was warned there would be a court case if he does not cooperate, and what our officers said was only one of its posssible results.  It was solely my decision to lower those by more than three quarters in order to prevent the need to further negotiate them at the court.

with the above being said, i would request the court to rethink about the charges stated on my client denzel grey and also take necessary actions for better and professional police procedures in the future.

In the same manner, I request the court to view mr. Psyron's testament at a distance due to his questionable past and close friendship with accused mr. Grey.

personal opinion

all along i thought it was just a fun RP and nothing serious so i dint heed much attention on it and enjoyed it untill i heard about real IG money and real jail time getting involved. we like to RP as a criminal and we dont have income at all. RPing was the only element which was free of cost and we all enjoyed it. we had many plans with another group/family but i dropped it all.

Mr. Psyron, it seems rather weird you do remember so many details from the whole duration of the operation despite the fact you've only started paying attention after you have heard of real time and money, which was almost in the end and long after the arrest itself. Again, I request the court to not take mr. Psyron's testament as a hundred percent valid one.

Mr. Psyron, you have been following our officers and Mr. Grey even after you've been instructed not to, and that's why you've been suspected later, correctly. Later on, you've been unsuspected on suspecting officer's request due to excessive complaining.

i was following at a distance and it was my property so as long as i try to do anything suspicious, i should not be suspected. perhaps if i had a car or something, do anything you want. i already backed off after seeing the warrant. i didnt do anything that could interfere in their business. it was not the first time officer angela has suspected me for no reason chief, hence the complain. if you call that excessive complaining, im not sure how to express my words otherwise then. i wouldnt want to go to jail because an officer is misusing his duty rights.

Completely false.

interrogation of the previous suspect, by officer angela.

Spoiler for Hiden:

Following our officers who were executing a warrant out of curiousity might as well be seen as an attempt to obstruct justice. You have been clearly told not to and even suspected for interfering before, so you have had absolutely no right nor reason to be there, listening behind the door.

like i said, i was standing outside the room on the sidewalk and not inside. i can stand anywhere i want. it was nor a crime scene nor a restricted area, it was a busy road with civilians walking around. it was only there when i came to know about the actual reason of the arrest and it was serious and not the usual light RP. and thats exactly when mido came in and sent denzel to jail without any fine or extended punishment. if they had shown us the warrant issued by you in the forums, things would have been different as well as our behaviour.

I ask the court to pay attention to this remark. If I understand what mr. Psyron means correctly, and what you are also supposed to understand by his own words, he has also been engaged in illegal activities before, and is now trying to cover his friend Mr. Grey by possibly providing false statements. Please consider whether the statement of a former criminal is more likely to be believed than those of three skilled officers who have sworn to protect the city.

how is that even relevant? i did not mention anything about illegal activities but you. all i meant was that its not professional to discuss things which are not applicable or uneccesary in the court of law considering the respect towards the supreme judge and all the people whos watching this. if my past was a problem for this, i should never have been allowed to speak here. i have served for my crimes during my past, i have got a clean chit and im free to practice any job or work i prefer in liberty city.

False and also very speculative, without any direct or indirect proof implying the LCPD is trying to hide something. Our proofs are very solid.

Mr. Grey have been informed of why he is being arrested twice before taken to the interrogation, by both Officers Angela Ann and Anita Ann. He has been informed of those accusations again on the beginning of the interrogation.

im afraid your proof is not solid enough for this case chief. the interrogation tape only shows bits and pieces of it having no proper info of the case at hand. it only showed denzel admitting to a crime, door being locked, asked to sit down and asking.. "Do you know why you are here?". it became an admin matter when i called mido and was explained everything to him both the officers and denzel.

Back to the case of obstructing justice mentioned before. You have had no right to be there or to eavesdrop on the interrogation. This argument has been obtained illegaly, and though it has no value, I request it not to be taken into consideration by the court.

The interrogators may propose any penatly they deem necessary. Mr. Grey was warned there would be a court case if he does not cooperate, and what our officers said was only one of its posssible results.  It was solely my decision to lower those by more than three quarters in order to prevent the need to further negotiate them at the court.

but i do have the right to stand on a sidewalk and listen to anything that comes to my ears. i understand what you mean chief, the information was obtained illegally but information is information in whichever manner it is gathered in favor one's client and put out in front of the court to decide.

In the same manner, I request the court to view mr. Psyron's testament at a distance due to his questionable past and close friendship with accused mr. Grey.

i will say it again, if my past was a problem in order to fight in this case, i should not have been allowed to be even present in the court today at the first place. moreover thats irrelevant.

Mr. Psyron, it seems rather weird you do remember so many details from the whole duration of the operation despite the fact you've only started paying attention after you have heard of real time and money, which was almost in the end and long after the arrest itself. Again, I request the court to not take mr. Psyron's testament as a hundred percent valid one.

i became serious about this whole thing when real time and money came in and before that we were enjoying denzel being arrested and shoved on the wall. we are always light RPing and chilling out, but never in my time in IVMP have i encountered a case as such where we are required to pay real money and real jail time for a crime RP. we dont have any income in game unlike the police. (it was my personal opinion)

Psyron

[Kerbe]

Please see the full interrogation process at this address.

The LCPD as a plaintiff has provided everything it has wanted to provide and seeing arguing and speculating as pointless, will only respond to court's inquiries from now on.
