Joey_Lucchese vs Harzy Crozier

[James Conway]

In reaction to first point made by mr. Baić, in which he states Sergeant Crozier was not part of the Liberty City Police Department at the time of the photos. Sergeant Crozier has never left the Liberty City Police Department. In September of 2015, the department's Crime Investigation Unit launched a large operation with the goal to infiltrate the highest circles of drug lords and dealers in our city.

Do you have evidence or something that can convince me that officer Harzy was indeed part of that unit at the time? And that Officer Harzy was undercover at 30.09.2015?

Dear temporary judge Conway,

The evidence you requested was sent to you through mail.

Additionally, I would like to present more evidence that proves mr. Oswal's guilt, as they were taken on the same day by the same detective (sergeant Crozier) in the same operation.

Evidence 1
Evidence 2
Evidence 3

In the pictures you can see mr. Oswal giving a package of drugs to sergeant Crozier, which is by defition drug trafficking, thus illegal and supporting Liberty City Police Department's cause.

To prevent accusations saying these pictures were not presented in the warrant and thus cannot be used, I would like to note that your client is already seen buying drugs in the warrant, which is also drug trafficking.

With best regards,
Charles F. Offdensen
Chief of Police

Dear court

Esteemed Chief of Police Charles F. Offdensen, as you know act 91 of Liberty City law was added after this warrant was issued, at the time of this warrant was issued no such definition of drug trafficking existed in laws of liberty city there was a section of drug trafficking laws, but with no definition to drug trafficking, unlike the one we have now.

So as i was saying you gave the green light for  this warrant for drug trafficking, before you gave the suggestion of updating the law, as such we have claimed from the start you charged us for something that wasn't defined by law.

As for new evidence, i don't see the exchange taking place, yes my client is holding a package and giving it to your UC officer, but as pictures are taken so long in between photos we could even argue my client is joking that there are drugs in the package, as we don't see how the conversation continues or the exchange with confirmation of content of the package  taking place, until you show a clear evidence of whats in the package or the rest of the conversation, I myself can not convinced that there were drugs in that package.

Also i would like to remind the honorable temporary judge James Conway, that bringing new evidence that were not included in warrant violates our right on a fair trial and defense, as its clear that LCPD had this pictures and conversation logs, if they were left out when the warrant was issued i don't see how can they magically add it now in middle of trial, as this are not new evidence that were discovered in the time of this trial but old evidance that was seen and not included by Chief of Police Charles F. Offdensen.

About the claims that Chief of Police Charles F. Offdensen made about my clients regular absence from the city LCPD city cameras have a new system where they track people who are in liberty city, after we filed a request and looked up mr Joey_Lucchese and we have found that since  December 10, 2014 they have 1175 hours of videos with him and thus making him the 5th most seen man in Liberty City.

I will allow the new evidence.

What is your defense for this Chief Charles F. Offdensen?

[James Conway]

I will close the case. You both have 48 hours to give a one final reply.

Dear court

To sum entire case we made here, charges brought by the LCPD were not up to date with the law at that point in time, but are with current law, as there was no definition of drug trafficking. Only buying, selling or using drugs. None of those 3 were used as charges.

Chief Charles F. Offdensen has realised the mistake that was made and within days after this case was made, has proposed a new law that defines what is drug trafficking.

LCPD brought new evidence into the case that shows nothing, except that Joey and UC officer Harzy were indeed close acquaintances.

LCPD claims of my clients absence to prove the huge time frame between the gathering the evidence and processing them into charges, that was brought up once, was never explained by the LCPD when we pointed out the where about of my client in last 133 days, that have supported our claims that there never was a long period of time where my client was not available to be served a warrant.

Our tampering claims, are supported by the long time frame, the timing of issuing a warrant right when my client was promoted in ranks within the Lucchese Company, thus damaging the reputations both of my client and the Lucchese Company, along with bringing in the new solid evidence, that when was presented, showed no signs of any illegal activity

Also, while the bringing up the charges took 133 days, warrant was made and served to my client within hours. Coincidence with the recent promotion of my client, and swift making and serving the warrant? I think not.

All in all, we consider that this bringing this charges was a rushed move, as it was not synced with the law at that time, and did not state a charge that was defined in the law at the moment warrant was issued.

I hereby close the case and will directly post the verdict.

The charges to Joey_Lucchese were "Drug dealing/trafficking". The verdict is in consideration with the old law "Sell of drug". The new law (Act 91) is a more general one and prevents confusion about drugs in Liberty City.

You can clearly see in evidence 1 that there is a "sell of drug" (Old law of Act 91). Exchanging 32100 Argonath Dollars for 535 grams of drugs. This means that Joey_Lucchese was (or is) in possession of drugs, which is against the law (Act 90). The evidence used for the warrant are sufficiënt as they show the drug deal. The reason why they waited so long does not really matter. They must have waited for the perfect moment to strike.

The new evidence that was brought in (but not taken into consideration as they were not part of the warrant) also shows that Joey_Lucchese was in possession of drugs. It also shows that LCPD has been working for a long time on this case and that they made quite work of it.

However, the old law (Act 91) spoke only of that selling drugs is illegal. Officer Harzy was the one selling the drugs here, and Joey_Lucchese was the one buying the drugs (clearly shown in evidence 1). In the old law (Section Nine: Drugs) there was nothing stated that buying drugs was illegal.

Copy of the old law:

Spoiler for Hiden:

Code: [Select]

Section Nine - Drugs

Act 89
Use - It is illegal to use drug

Act 90
Possession - It is illegal to possess drug

Act 91
Production - It is illegal to produce drug

Act 91
Sell of drug - Selling drug is illegal

Act 92
Promoting drug or drug use- The promotion of drug is illegal

So my verdict is as follows
 - LCPD has to pay compensation for stress suffered up to 2000$ (reduced, original amount (10,000$)(optional) to Joey_Lucchese.
 - LCPD has to pay money that was lost by Joey_Lucchese when he got jailed, which is 300$.

This case is appealable for the higher court (needs another judge), who can review and decide if my verdict was justified.

With best intentions,
Temporary Judge James Conway
