Defendant
MOTION TO STAY PROCEEDINGS PENDING GRAND JURY INDICTMENT
TO THE HONORABLE COURT
COMES NOW Defendant voxpaa, appearing pro se, and respectfully moves this Court for an Order staying all
proceedings in the above-captioned matter until the State obtains a grand jury indictment as required by the
constitutional provisions in effect at the time of the alleged conduct. In support thereof, Defendant states as
follows:
I. ARGUMENT
The State has initiated this prosecution through a Criminal Information charging the Defendant with eighty-two
felony offenses arising from conduct allegedly occurring on March 20, 2026 and March 22, 2026.
At the time of the alleged conduct, Section VII of the Ridgeway Constitution expressed:
“Public officials or those accused of offenses to be explicitly specified shall enjoy the right to be charged
by grand jury indictment.”
The Criminal Information repeatedly alleges that Defendant committed each charged offense while serving as
an on-duty officer of the Palmer Police Department. Having alleged facts placing Defendant within the class of
individuals protected by Section VII at the time of the alleged conduct, the State cannot simultaneously deny
Defendant the constitutional charging procedure that accompanied that status.
Because Defendant was entitled to be charged by grand jury indictment under the constitutional framework
governing the alleged conduct, and because no such indictment has been obtained, further proceedings should
be stayed until the State secures a constitutionally valid charging instrument.
V. CONCLUSION AND PRAYER FOR RELIEF
For the foregoing reasons, Defendant respectfully requests that this Court stay all proceedings in this matter
pending presentation of the charges to a grand jury and the return of a valid indictment, and grant such further
relief as the Court deems just and proper.
Respectfully Submitted,
