Please see the full interrogation proces at address.

The LCPD as a plaintiff has provided everything it has wanted to provide and will await the court's verdict now.

The cost the courts would incur to review over 1 hour of footage in this case would exceed any damages it would receive through prosecution of the defendant. The evidence presented (late I might add) would seem to be irrelevant if the proper procedures in the warrant execution were not followed properly.

I will ask the state to review its previous statements to the court:

Officer Angela has presented the warrant properly and both officers who have been present can confirm it.

As the warrant has been executed properly, I request the charges and proposed penalties to remain unchanged.

And the reply from Defendants legal council:

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.

Council's evidence seems to contradict statements provided by the state.

Second issue noted by the court:

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.

If the LCPD Officers involved in this case had probable cause that Mr. Psyron was in violation of the law, then why was he not brought to justice? Is "excessive complaining" a valid reason for dropping charges on a suspect? Your answer to this question will not directly impact the verdict for this case as it has no direct impact on the charges faced by the defendant, however the court would like this issue clarified on record.

The court requests from the State clarification, and explanation of the evidence presented by the defense regarding the execution of the warrant.

After reviewing some of the footage, couldn't bore myself to death with watching the whole thing. But there are some interesting things in that footage, both that Mr Grey admits his crimes and the police abusing violence and act of wrong-doing.

[Kerbe]

Dear court

I have made a short list of key points of the footage, with times included so that the court can validate the statements.

Code: [Select]

1:41 - suspect has been brought to the interrogation room. Refuses to exit the vehicle and verbally assaults officers ("You fu*king piece of sh*t!!! (Uncensored)).
2:30 - Mr. Grey yells he is not guilty for no apparent reason. Also tells the operatives to do whatever they want, but that once he gets out, he will hunt them down.
3:59 - Mr. Grey yells "Fu*k you!" in the face of Officer Angela after she had presented him with his rights. Also some more threats are posed.
4:44 - Officer Angela says she is investigating Denzel Grey for several acts of corruption.
7:03 - He is once again told why he is being interrogated
10:27 - Mr. Grey is warned he will go to court if he does not comply, responds with "I don't give a f*ck!"
11:25 - Mr. Grey admits his crime and requests to get jailed
13:20 - Mr. Grey is instruced to write a confession "I Denzel Grey, confess I have acted curuptly while on duty", then is asked to do it from which is clear he is refusing to do so
18:20 - Mr. Grey keeps refusing to sign a confession
20:20 - Mr. Grey says he is ready to face the consequences [of not signing]. One more refusal a mintute afterwards.
20:32 - Mr. Grey is informed he will be taken to the court
26:55 - Mr. Grey is once again asked to choose between a court and a confession
Rouglhly at 20:00 mIDO gets called and gets explained what's going on by both parties. Meanwhile both Psyron and Denzel accuse Angela and Anita of making the warrant up. Many things are being said and explained over and over again. LCPD staff gets accused of moneyhunting despite no part of the penalty goes to them.
50:49 - mIDO says Denzel will be jailed as he admitted his crime and the suspection is valid.
57:43 - mIDO asks everyone to head to jail finally
1:00:00 - Mr. Grey says he is not going to court for his "petty crime"
1:03:51 - Mr. Grey is finally being jailed at Dukes Police Department by Officer Anita Ann
On behalf of the LCPD, I would like to apologise for the act of violence towards Mr. Grey in the very beginning of the record and as a compensation, I would like to lower the proposed fine to $2500.

To answer State judge's questions, starting with the second - Mr. Grey has been told during the interrogation, and has been asked later for the record (both shown in the footage, see list above) to verify his knowledge on why he is being taken into custody. He was also informed at least once during the arrest.

In response to the first question, I admit the warrant copy has been sent late, however I cannot see it affecting the process of arrest or interrogation, or even the court in any way. I do apologise for this error, though.

The reason why the charges on mr. Psyron have been dropped is rather simple: he, though in his own way, began cooperating and was not violating the law nor obstructing our staff any longer, and thus he was let go.

Mr Latch, using violence to bring in a suspect is not tolerable at all. Assault and act of wrong-doing is not what officers of the law should do at all. You are peacekeepers not road warriors.

[Kerbe]

Dear court

I am aware of the fact physical attack in the form of kick on Mr. Grey was unacceptable and I as I have said before, I do apologise for this action of Senior officer Parker. I believe this was only a temporary short-fuse mainly caused by Mr. Grey verbally abusing our staff. Any further incidents resembling this will be harshly punished in future.

Best regards

The court will be withdraw back to the quarters and discuss over the final verdict, any last words before we lock this topic? I will set a time of 24 hours before it's locked down. So make your final statements

[Kerbe]

The state as the plaintiff has nothing more to add.

[psyron]

your honor,

it is very much evident now that the warrant wasnt executed correctly and did not receive the warrant on time, being it one of the most important factors during an arrest. the suspect or the accused has the right to information, even if he is considered a threat to the city. also the act of violence was not appreciable especially from a high rank cop, the behavior reflects the LCPD largely and could lead to another court case in the future if not taken care of.

To answer State judge's questions, starting with the second - Mr. Grey has been told during the interrogation, and has been asked later for the record (both shown in the footage, see list above) to verify his knowledge on why he is being taken into custody. He was also informed at least once during the arrest.

objection your honor, he was not informed even once during the arrest but only in the interrogation room, i was there. (denzel thought he was getting arrested for a TS evade which happened 5mins ago before he was taken in.) as you can see in the video, i asked angela and anita about corrupt cops in /em when denzel crashed, coz thats when i knew what was going on but still not sure of the complete scenario. even denzel, when he was asked "why you are here?", his reply was "i dont know a f**k, you brought me here and you asking me why??". followed by officer redbullet's response - "you know what you did wrong..."

after which, officer angela says "well if such we will simply take this to court and fine him". your honor, the suspect needs to be given information and not threatening.

i have nothing more to add and i blv the court will take the righteous decision and serve equitable justice.

yours faithfully,
Psyron

[DeeJay]

The court will be withdrawing to their quarters and review this case for the final time. Final verdict will be announce tomorrow night.

[DeeJay]

The court has made their decision, the defendant Denzel Grey have been found guilty of his charges but also already served his time, as LCPD forgot to mention they already jailed him. And the Plaintiff LCPD will recieve a warning for their many mistakes they have made with this case. As a reminder, follow the procedures and don't make up your own ones.

Court dismissed
