FOR THE VICE CITY COURT OF FLORIDA

United States of Argonath V. 'Ninth Avenue Razors'

I. Opening Statement

Vice City FBI and SWAT have been investigating Little Havana ever since the VCPD noticed a sudden rise in crime rates in that general area.
After ongoing investigations, we found out that most of these crimes were linked to a gang called Ninth Avenue Razors, with no points awarded for subtlety.
Following acts of domestic terrorism and heavy criminal activity, we acquired a raid warrant to help us follow through on the investigation.
What we found was an astounishing amount of weaponry, explosives & drugs.
After last minute planning, VCPD forces found that the numbers didn't add up and did one last sweep of the general area.
A house owned by one of the newer gangmembers was found, containing enough weaponry to outfit Sadam Hussein's army.

II. Case breakdown & Evidence

Ninth Avenue Razors, led by [NAR]Klaus were found to be in possession of large stacks of weaponry, drugs and explosives.
Following an issued warrant, the following properties were found with illegal storage:

IV. Settlement offer

None

V. Summary

Your honor,
This case is a chance for the civilians of Vice City to see that not everything is lost.
The reason why the demands might seem too harsh to some, is because the organization mentioned here is only getting more reckless and brutal with each day that passes.
This wouldn't be required in the case of some petty car thieves, but we're dealing with people with no remorse here, as portrayed by some of the evidence you've personally seen.

Your case has been received and will be reviewed and handled by myself, judge Andrew banks with the Vice City court.
As the defense has made clear they have mister Marco Soprano as their legal representative, I would like to know when the defense has their opening ready to present to the court, I'd like this to take no more than seventy-two (72) hours, so the court can start processing this case.

OOC: Don't expect much within the next 72 hours as both Marco and myself are currently undergoing a busy period of University with assignments. We will have our opening posted ASAP and hopefully you're willing to wait for RP's sake. I'd also like to say that aXXo changing my account name is not even action by myself nor has it any connecto to this case. If it triggers you so much simply ask aXXo to revert his action and change it back.

United States of Argonath vs. Ninth Avenue Razors

   I, Marco Soprano, Vice City resident, Senior Counsel (SC) under the Argonath Bar Association (ABA) and Vice City Court-licensed lawyer, will be representing Klaus, Gomiro, Guwop, Jay, Alaa, Aidan, Brian, Vermox and Metal, the defendants in this case.



MOTION TO DISCOVER

   The release of all the evidence associated to this case is fundamental for the maintenance of the right to a fair trial. As established by Supreme Court Judge Stormeus in United States of Argonath vs. Cofiliano Gvardia,

Regarding the following cases:

• State v. Cofiliano_Gvardia
• State v. Stiff Singh
• State v. Shady Singh (a.k.a. Stanley Mitchell)
• State v. Solis
• State v. HatDag
  

Section IV, Ordinance I of the interim constitution states:
In order for citizens to retain the right to a fair trial, it is imperative that they and their legal counsel are able to review all evidence of any crimes against them. In this case and all the cases named above, the Court's review of the evidence submitted is insufficient to justify the charges listed against them.

Although the Court recognizes the evidence that has been submitted to it for consideration, these cases will not be able to proceed until the defendants are given access to any relevant against them.

— Stormeus
Chief Justice

   
   Your honor, this precedent set by the Vice City Court is clear when declaring that the defendants are to be "[...] given access to any relevant against them". At the time of the ruling in the aforementioned case, the evidence presented by the prosecution was not deemed sufficient enough to give continuity to the procedure. Only when the evidence that motivated the so called "raid" was presented the case was allowed to proceed.

   As it currently stands, the Prosecution should not be allowed to make every trial a search for evidence that could go unnoticed by the layman that does not have access to an attorney, as it has been deliberately

"Warrant evidence: Confidential, shown for the Judge only: http://arpd.argonathrpg.com/forum/index.php?topic=38563.0 (will be released to public if the Judge decides so)

Note: the evidence leading to the raid is still classified. It will not be shown to public unless the Judge decides it is needed, as it could compromise FBI operations.

been doing, every trial being an arduous, if nor herculean, search for the complete truth.


   The defense, therefore, requests the following:

• The full disclosure of all the evidence associated with this search warrant, including the timeline of every exhibit:

From: Vice City Courthouse

Dear special agent Rapture, Chief, Director.
Due to the evidence shown in the attached document, showing both domestic terrorism, as well as heavy criminal activity, a raid on all properties owned, or occupied by the members of the NAR gang is granted, this includes houses, businesses and vehicles.

Judge Andrew Banks
Vice city court
February eight, two thousand and seventeen. "

   The Defense also requests that the timeline of 72 hours for the filing of it's opening statement to be suspended until the full execution, by the Prosecution, of this Court's ruling on the Defense's request.

Court Notice

To ALL Parties,

I have checked the Warrant Court File that is visible to the Court on the Police Portal and can confirm that this is the evidence that the FBI has gathered on the various defendants. However I must point out to the FBI & the Prosecution, that you have excluded a list of properties of which the warrant was granted for. The Defence may with to pursue this list but otherwise the Prosecution also needs to produce a timeline or a chronology for the Court and the Defence to observe. As such,

THE COURT ORDERS THAT:

[1].        That the Defence file any submissions or motions relating to the 'list' evidence, which the FBI has not provided, which should be done within 3 days.

[2].        That the Prosecution produce and file; a full timeline or chronology of events with all evidence on the Court Record, leading up to the court case commencement, which should be done so within 1 week. The recent evidence provided by the Prosecution does not satisfy the Court's definition of a "timeline".

[3].        That the Defence file any further procedural motions or submissions relating to the indictment within 1 week before a plea be entered.

[4].        That a formal plea (guilty/not guilty) must be entered into by the Defendants within 2 weeks, if there are no substantial procedural issues raised by either party. If no plea is entered into, the Court will note a plea of "not guilty" has been entered into, by the Defendants.

Topic: United of Argonath V. 'Ninth Avenue Razors' 

Your Honour, below I present what we, the Prosecution consider a timeline of the Ninth Avenue Razors (referred to as: NAR) case.


The investigation was opened in the second quarter of the year, albeit no significant progress had been made until the end of November, 2016.


Dated 19th November, 2016

This evidence represents then-FBI Director Kessu / Kim Purp Lee (refered to as: Kessu following this line) simply being in the front of his house with Ninth Avenue Razors members trespassing his property.

After being warned to leave, one of them, identified later as [NAR]Gomiro, proceeds to defecate on Kessu's house door.

This does not end here, however; one of the gang members takes out weapons from Property #233 which is later used to attack Kessu and several other officers present nearby.

Luckily for the VCPD and the civilian populace of VC, the officers fend off the attack and the assailants are sent to the hospital with multiple gun wounds.

Kessu was assaulted simply due to living in Little Havana (NAR's 'stronghold'), which is often deemed as a no-go zone by inexperienced / new police officers.
This has to stop.

This evidence represents Officer Zephyr on a regular patrol in Little Havana. The evidence shows 2 NAR members, [NAR]Klaus and [NAR]Nenad retrieving weapons from Property #233, which are later used to assault Officer Zephyr and other officers assisting him.

Officer Zephyr was assaulted for simply patrolling; is this how a human being acts? There are no mitigating conditions available here; this is pure bestiality.

Officer Zephyr was lucky that there were others available to assist. However, there were and are (as NAR still remains in VC) cases of officers dying in the line of duty in the Little Havana area. How many have we buried already? Too many.

Citizens were in shock as that day multiple bombs / explosives were being planted in cars all over the city.

(1)

While the police have interrogated [NAR]Gomiro over suspicions of him being the Bomber, FBI Director Kessu has received a phonecall from [NAR]Jay in which [NAR]Jay has de facto threatened the VCPD as a whole by threatening to explode the headquarters; Washington Beach Police Department.

(2)

2 shows that [NAR]Gomiro was in fact the Bomber, or perhaps, one of the Bombers, as evidenced by explosives being present on his body.

(3 and 4)

3 and 4 prove our claims that [NAR]Gomiro was one of the Bombers as evidenced by him admitting to planting bombs on NAR's CB radio frequency and confirming the need to move his 'shit' (clearly referring to weapons / equipment / possibly narcotics, too) to the "HQ".

(1 & 2)

The Prosecution does not see anything to explain in this case; NAR member Gomiro taking weapons from Property #149. Some officers have been heard investigating a case in which a person was shot to death with an AK rifle (AK is NAR's weapon of choice, according to detectives) however this is 'banter' talk and not actual evidence we'd like to submit.

(1)

The evidence shows FBI Director Kessu receiving a phone-call which states that NAR is going to attempt to rob the North Point Mall jewelry store. These claims were true, as shortly afterwards the police inside the mall were attacked by NAR members but repealed the attack with little to no casualties.

At the same time, the Prosecution wishes to submit additional evidence (part of police logs dated 26th November, 2016): http://i.imgur.com/KtkkcwX.png which proves the claims above.

(2)

This evidence shows another phonecall to Kessu in which likely the same anonymous person confirms that he took weapons from [NAR]Klaus's house and that he is in fact, the leader of the NAR group.

#7 Kidnapping

The evidence specified above shows the sequence of kidnapping conducted by the NAR gang. The FBI wire shows [NAR]Klaus commanding the entire operation, further showing that he is, in fact, the leader of the group.

It also shows one of the NARs hiding 'things' in the storage of Property #165.

#6 NAR member found with illegal weapons

The evidence shows one of the NAR gang members carrying 3 explosives, a Desert Eagle (an illegal weapon) with 10 ammo and 4 Molotov Cocktails (an illegal weapon, too) after being neutralized during an illegal smuggle operation.


Dated 19th January, 2017



This evidence shows [NAR]Klaus taking 'some items' (((in script: weapons / drugs are referred to as 'some items'))) from Property #233 and afterwards being suspected for hijacking a Securicar truck containing VAJ's bearer bonds. After a chase, he is gunned down by police officers and the bearer bonds are safely transported to the bank.


Dated 19th January, 2017



The evidence shows [NAR]Klaus retrieving some items (likely: weapons) from his house and afterwards threatening another person to leave before 'he murks him' and 'shanks him'.

It shows a suspect ([NAR]Guwop) discharging a weapon next to a police officer and resisting arrest, which results in him being neutralized by an officer.

The evidence also shows NAR members causing disturbance in their own neighbourhood rendering police officers unable to pass; only after some time, they 'let go'.

It also shows NAR members threatening Officer Silent with death ("I've got an uzi next to your head, say nothing", "Don't ever come to the hood again, or else").


Your Honour, the Prosecution hopes that this satisfies the Defense's request for a timeline and that a final verdict can be reached swiftly.
