CRIMINAL ACTION

The Commonwealth of Redmont
Prosecution

v.

UnityMaster
Defendant

COMPLAINT
On March 6th, 2024, UnityMaster cast an affirmative vote on Motion S.28.23. This motion aimed to conclude the impeachment trial of President Goldblooded. Regrettably, despite the procedural mandates outlined in the Peach Act, which stipulates the necessity of a structured trial process, President Goldblooded was not afforded the opportunity for a fair trial as per the foundational principles given to him in the Redmont Constitution.
The failure to conduct a trial constitutes a violation of the Peach Act, an act designed to uphold the integrity of impeachment proceedings and ensure due process for all individuals subject to such inquiries. Moreover, the right to a trial is enshrined as a fundamental entitlement bestowed upon every citizen under the Redmont Constitution.
This egregious oversight not only undermines the sanctity of our legal framework but also raises profound concerns regarding the adherence to constitutional principles and the safeguarding of democratic norms. It is imperative that such breaches of protocol be addressed with utmost urgency to uphold the integrity of our democratic institutions and reaffirm the commitment to the rule of law.

[Snowy_Heart]

Your Honor

The defense has retained me as their attorney and I would like to request a 48 hour extension.​

OBJECTION
Breach of procedure

Your Honor,
The 72 hour deadline to put up a answer to complaint has passed. The defendents cousel is requesting an extension after the deadline has passed.​

 

[SumoMC]

Your Honor,

This is an extremely important case to let go to default judgment. This is unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial power for political gain, because the Senate failed to pass the solicitor generals attorney general nomination, the weaponization of this office against senators for voting Is something we can’t let go to fault judgment. I am willing to take the contempt of court charge however, this trial would be allowed to proceed.

 

[Nacho]

The objection is overruled.

Before we get off on the wrong foot, it is not the place to air either side's dirty laundry and perform the theatrics commonly displayed within the lower courts. The alleged crimes are severe and have been presented to the court. Please keep the snark comments behind the prosecution's intentions to a minimum and allow the facts to speak for themselves. The same will go for the prosecution should the comments arise.

However, I would like to formally give notice to the defense. Being prompt and on time is very valued within this court. It's been roughly 48 hours since the request was submitted to the court. It is within the best nature that you prepare a plea for the court, please have the plea presented to the court by 3/14/24 @ 11:14 pm EST

 

[SumoMC]

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH
ANSWER TO COMPLAINT

Commonwealth of Redmont

vs.

UnityMaster

I. FACTS
1. The Defense AFFIRMS Motion S.28.23 was brought to the floor
2. The Defense AFFIRMS The Motion concluded president Goldblooded’s impeachment trial
3. The Defense DISPUTES No Impeachment Trial was held for president Goldblooded therefor the motion was an illegal motion that violated the peach act and the constitution
4. The Defense DISPUTES Unitymaster voted “aye” for an illegal motion.


II. DEFENSES
1. The DLA is prosecuting my client for doing his job of putting the Motion up for a vote and exercising his obligation as a Senator to vote on motions.
2. It is not the job of the DLA to sue any Senator based on how they vote in congress, should they feel that the motions are unconstitutional, they should sue the government as a whole not try to hold individual senators liable as this will ultimately lead to political prosecution rather then proactive. Soon we will be prosecuting senators for failing to pass Presidential Nominations should the DLA be allowed to do this.
3. The Defense does not believe that the motion was illegal and will prove that during this case

By making this submission, I agree I understand the penalties of lying in court and the fact that I am subject to perjury should I knowingly make a false statement in court.

​

On the pivotal date of March 6th, 2024, our democratic principles faced an unprecedented assault, with the sanctity of our constitution hanging precariously in the balance. UnityMaster, the esteemed presiding officer, put up motion Motion S.28.23. This motion sought to draw a decisive conclusion to president goldblooded's non-existent impeachment trial—a trial unjustly denied to the incumbent President.

Here in Redmont, our constitution is held sacred. It's what separates our democracy from barbaric autocracy. following the guidelines dictated in the constitution Affords the basic rights of life to every citizen and protects us from government unjust and chaos. This was not the case with motion s.28.23. The constitution states ". Any citizen has the right to an attorney for a speedy and fair trial. Any citizen, criminal or otherwise will have the right to a speedy and fair trial presided over by an impartial Judge, to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, and to be confronted with the evidence against them, and to have the assistance of counsel for their defense."

This basic right was stripped away from Goldblooded when the members of the senate were allowed to vote on a motion that was not just illegal but an abandonment of everything our democracy stands for.
motion S.28.23 concluded a trial for the president that was never held. violating the constituion.
Now with the full situation explained my opening statement is going to address the following questions

1. Why is the motion illegal?
2. Why should UnityMaster be held accountable for an Illegal motion making it to the floor?
3. How do the actions Unitymaster took regarding this motion fulfill the necessary parts to be considered treason?

Every citizen is afforded the right to have a trial before they are convicted. An impeachment should be no different. This motion was clearly in violation of Goldblood's rights by not allowing him to represent his side of the supposed conflict and stripped him away of his rights. Furthermore The Peach Act, An act that very clearly outlines the impeachment process dictates "There shall be an ordered process for the impeachment trial. " Having zero process is not an ordered process.

Unity Master was the presiding officer of the senate. According to the constitution "The Senate is presided over by the President of the Senate, who is responsible for maintaining the good order and efficient running of the chamber" It is the president of the Senate's responsibility to maintain good order. allowing a motion to be brought that defies the constitution, That harms the commonwealth beyond bounds, is not maintaining good order. beyond that UnityMaster not only pushed the motion up but also voted in the affirmative showing that he not only was willing to put up a motion to strip away a citizen's rights guaranteed to them in the constitution but also agreed with and furthered it by voting in the affirmative.

Treason is defined in ‘Corruption and Espionage Offenses Act' is defined as "the act of a party in federal office who is caught attempting to maliciously sabotage or undermine the stability, sovereignty, and/or national security of the government of Redmont.." Ripping a president, voted in by the people, out of power is a major destabilizing factor to a nation. it causes a power vacuum that destabilizes the commonwealth and ensues chaos and fear. to counter this and ensure that the removal of a president is truly necessary an act entitled the Peach Act was voted on and enacted. The Peach Act states " The Impeachment process is used to ensure that the removal of a president is to stabilize the commonwealth and not to destabilize it. by putting the motion up and voting aye on, it the presiding officer of the senate, whose job is to ensure the good standing of the senate, acted intentionally to destabilize the commonwealth by attempting to illegally rip a standing president away from the role.

I will show through this trial that Unitymaster not only attempted to strip Goldblooded's rights away in his voting for motion S.28.23 but also committed treason to Redmont in doing so.

[Dusty_3]

Your Honour,
I have been bogged down with IRL university work, and have had to call in a co-council, ColonelKai to help with the workload on this case. He will assist me with defending UnityMaster.

I'd like to ask for a 24 hour extension for these reasons.
Thank you

 

[ColonelKai]

Good day everyone,
I would like to first apologize for the timing issues in this case and assure you that I will make my best efforts to ensure the expeditious resolution of the remaining procedures.

May it please the court,
Opening Statements
The charges brought upon against my client today are not only severe in their accusatory weight, but also founded on a long string of weak arguments where the failure of one leads to the failure of rest, rather than a wide and solid argument with multiple pillars of truth and solid logic connecting them.

Therefore, I would like to start the opening statement by pointing out the fact that a large portion of the arguments made against my client both in the opening statements and in the charging papers were largely theatrical, and without a focus on the legal realities that this court was made to decide.

While the charges brought forward has mentioned a long list of alleged wrongdoings - which again, I believe to be largely theatrical - the central legal point brought forward is a treason charge.

Examining the exact wording of the law, as the prosecution has also stated, we can find the following;

The act of a party in federal office who is caught attempting to maliciously sabotage or undermine the stability, sovereignty, and/or national security of the government of Redmont.

I would like to draw the attention of the court to the world "maliciously" in this regard. This creates a burden of proof on the side of the prosecution to prove that the defendant has had an open intent - beyond a reasonable doubt - to actively seek to sabotage, undermine the stability, sovereignty and/or national security of the government of Redmont.

It falls upon the prosecution therefore, that the actions as followed that day were made with such intent and purpose.

Therefore, when looked at, nothing else brought forward by the prosecution (so far) matters to this point. The arguments made so far by the prosecution have done nothing to make an attempt to solidify a point towards this central requirement.

I will save the prosecution, and the esteemed court time by not arguing about the legality of the actual motion, because it simply does not pertain to the central legal argument at hand. Foregoing the fact that the motion was not declared illegal in a court of law, and the principles of assumption of innocence - which would have to be done in its own case, not here - even if it were to be illegal, it would do nothing to make the point of malice.

Henceforth, I end my opening statement by not only having made my points, but also making a kind request to the prosecution that we make our arguments based not on political show of feel, but legal grounds of technicalities and clauses.

Objection
Breach of procedure​

IN THE COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
MOTION TO STRIKE
As the defedent missed both their deadline and their requested extension I request that the court strike the defendents late reply.​

[RelaxedGV]

Due to neither side listing Witnesses, we will be moving into Opening Statements.

The Prosecution has 72 hours to provide theirs.

 

[Dusty_3]

Your Honour,

In response to the prosecutions objection:

It is not necessarily a breach of procedure to be late, because as we've seen in hundreds of past cases, the time to respond is decided on a case by case basis. The reason for this is because everyone has real lives, and sometimes sticking to a deadline isn't possible on a video game - the courts would understand this as they struggle to get decisions and verdicts out as quick as they'd want to. This case has already had a few examples of that.

We did the courteous thing by asking for an extension, that unfortunately the court wasn't able to see or respond to - probably because they have a real life. We were a few hours late, but we apologized for the lateness and provided an opening statement nonetheless. As the courts hadn't responded to our extension request, we haven't actually delayed court proceedings. The courts have seen our opening statement at the same time they have seen our request for an extension as well as the prosecutions objection, therefore we haven't lost any time.

We again respectfully apologize to the courts, but we feel it would be greatly unfair for the prosecutions objection to be granted as that rarely, if ever, happens in other cases. A few hours late should not strike hours of work put into the opening statement.

Thank you

2. Due to the nature of the case, I will not be removing the Opening Statement as the charges being alleged are high profile and given a lack of Witness Testimony, will aid in the ruling of this Prosecution.

I also want to make it known that I mean Closing, not Opening Statements.

Closing Statements
Your Honor,

UnityMaster, in their capacity as a presiding officer, held a solemn duty to uphold the integrity and stability of the commonwealth. By allowing an illegal motion to be brought to the floor and subsequently voting in the affirmative, they not only violated their oath but also demonstrated a blatant disregard for the principles of good order and governance.

The destabilization caused by this illegal motion cannot be understated. It undermines the trust and confidence of the citizens in their government and sets a dangerous precedent for future proceedings. UnityMaster's actions, far from being innocuous or accidental, were a deliberate betrayal of their duty and responsibility to the commonwealth.

it is abundantly clear that UnityMaster acted with malicious intent. Their actions were not merely a mistake or lapse in judgment but a calculated effort to undermine the stability and sovereignty of our nation. The illegality of the motion was brought to their attention and they chose to not only just sit idly by and let the motion damage the commonwealth but also voted in the affirmative further showing his intent to allow an illegal, destabilizing motion take a hold of the commonwealth.

Thank you, Your Honor.
