@Grand Juror #1 what do you want to do
@State Attorney #2 do you want to enter the evidence
REDACTED
REDACTED
State Attorney #2 — 09/10/2022
yeah its above
Grand Juror #1 — 09/10/2022
Can the prosecutor turn over a list of witnesses that they'd
like/recommend be brought before the Grand Jury to support the
Government's case in favor of indictment?
Or does the prosecutor just want to read and explain the indictment
without any witnesses?
Nevermind!
State Attorney #2 — 09/10/2022
I think with the evidence and a full description of events, I don't
think a witness examination would be necessary. But of course, should
you want to hear from witnesses they can be summoned.
Grand Juror #1 — 09/10/2022
Apparently they were already subpoenaed.
State Attorney #2 — 09/10/2022
We do have witness transcript from when REDACTED was doing this
Presiding Judge Hecxtro — 09/10/2022
witness transcripts made available
Grand Juror #1 — 09/10/2022
I'll inform the Grand Jurors to send questions to REDACTED and then
I'll transmit them to the Prosecutor, who will ask the witness the
question
Presiding Judge Hecxtro — 09/10/2022
well none of the witnesses are here anymore
Grand Juror #1 — 09/10/2022
Do we have a copy of REDACTED statement to the r-
Presiding Judge Hecxtro — 09/10/2022
they would probably need to be re-summoned

REDACTEDREDACTEDREDACTEDREDACTEDREDACTEDREDACTED REDACTED but we can
do that
Presiding Judge Hecxtro — 09/10/2022
well it was also like more than a month ago
so it would probably be best to re-summon if anyone has questions they
want to ask
Grand Juror #1 — 09/10/2022

will do
Presiding Judge Hecxtro — 09/10/2022
thx
Grand Juror #1 — 09/10/2022
waait
Did REDACTED do a reading/explanation of the Indictment?
Presiding Judge Hecxtro — 09/10/2022
no
Presiding Judge Hecxtro — 09/10/2022
this is the current indictment
Grand Juror #1 — 09/10/2022
I think we need
at-least a preliminary reading of the indictment
before we can even vote
STATE V. 125852
GRAND JURY TRANSCRIPT
so uh
give a second
Presiding Judge Hecxtro — 09/10/2022
why
hes just going to say whats on the doc yeah?
Grand Juror #1 — 09/10/2022
yes but
its better to at-least have the government explain the situation to us
before defendant tries to claim that the gj was uninformed
and that the indictment is inappropriate
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY
it'll take like 10 minutes
@State Attorney #2 May the Government read and present the evidence as
to criminal action REDACTED? Just a short statement is fine.
Basically just go over the charges, what the evidence is, how it fits
the charges, etc.
State Attorney #2 — 09/10/2022
Sure
State Attorney #2 — 09/10/2022
Good Evening Grand Jurors, thank you all for being here. As requested,
I'm going to walk you through the charges that I felt were suitable
for the actions of the defendant on the 18th of June, of this year
2022. We are going to start off with Exhibit B, we can see a Ridgeway
State Police Trooper in pursuit of a pickup truck, going through
Sterling Heights, at this point passing the Sheriff’s Office
substation onto the Highway. The Defendant is at extraordinarily high
speeds, which can be demonstrated by the Trooper doing over 110 Studs
Per Seconds to try and keep up with the Defendant. As the Defendant
makes progress on to the highway, we see the Defendant blow the red
light at extremely high speeds, and he begins to swerve from lane to
lane on the highway, we see this all the way up until the Defendant’s
vehicle is stopped by the Trooper and Deputy - who had joined the
pursuit, as shown in Exhibit E. At the timestamp 00:32 in Exhibit B,
we finally see the Defendant’s vehicle at a stop. The Trooper quickly
gets out of his vehicle, similarly to the Deputy and the Defendant, as
the Trooper attempts to taser the Defendant, the Defendant pulls out a
Cline 911 - a Silver handgun chambered in 9 Millimeter rounds. The
Defendant begins to fire at the Trooper in an attempt to kill him,
STATE V. 125852
GRAND JURY TRANSCRIPT
which sadly he does, the Trooper is shot and killed by the Defendant.
Following the Trooper’s murder, the Defendant turns the gun to the
Deputy, firing at him and subsequently murdering him. In Exhibit B,
you can clearly see that the Trooper and Deputy were clearly marked as
Law Enforcement Officers, in their uniforms, and to top it off, we see
both vehicles are clearly marked patrol cars. This accounts for the
first two counts on the indictment. Murder in the First Degree. For
the State to prove that this occurred, it merely requires us to prove
that the Defendant murdered a peace officer, discharing his lawful
duties, whilst the Defendant had the knowledge of the peace officer’s
role.
Let’s break it down. Was the Peace Officer discharging his lawful
duties? Yes, we see the Trooper & the Deputy enforcing the law,
pursuing someone who had broken the law. Would it be reasonable to
assume the Defendant knew that they were Peace Officers? Yes,
absolutely, they were in marked patrol cars, and both had the most
notable uniforms on, their patrol uniforms. As such, we can
confidently say that the Defendant committed Murder in the First
Degree twice.
Moving on, if we look at Exhibit F, from timestamp 00:40, we see the
Trooper respawn, kit back up, with his Trooper’s uniform, campaign hat
and duty belt. We see the Trooper respawn his vehicle, and immediately
respond back to the location of where he was murdered by the
Defendant. Upon arrival we see the Defendant. The Trooper jumps out of
his vehicle, again with his taser he attempts to taser and arrest the
Defendant, however he fails to do so, as the Defendant once again
pulls out his Cline 911 and begins firing. The Trooper pulls out his
Para 17, and immediately begins to fire at the Defendant, the Trooper
kills the Defendant. The State believes that a charge of Attempted
Murder is suitable, we can see in Exhibit F , that the Defendant
attempted to kill the Trooper, although he was unsuccessful. We can
see that the Defendant had the intent to do so, because upon the
Trooper exiting his vehicle, and drawing a taser, the Defendant begins
to fire immediately. As such, we can confidently say that the
Defendant attempted to murder the Trooper.
Finally, we look at Exhibits B, D, E & F. We can see the Defendant
evading from the Trooper and Deputy in a reckless and utterly
negligent way. We witness the Defendant running stop signs, driving
STATE V. 125852
GRAND JURY TRANSCRIPT
off road, cutting corners, running red lights and speeding in excess
of 100 studs per seconds at most times. What does the State have to
prove for a charge of Felony Evasion? The State must prove that the
Defendant was evading and create a danger to the public through the
negligent use of a firearm or recklessly driving. The State can do
this, the State merely can use the definition of Reckless driving as
‘committing more than 3 traffic violations in the space of 60 seconds
or driving off road in city limits’. We can see the Defendant commit
more than 3 traffic violations in the space of 60 seconds and we most
certainly saw the Defendant driving off road in city limits - whether
he intended to or not.
That is the summary of our charges, we believe that these charges are
sufficient for the Defendant’s actions on the 18th of June 2022. As
such, we hope that you return a true bill of indictment, formally
charging the Defendant with 2 Counts of Murder in the First Degree, 1
Count of Attempted Murder & 1 Count of Felony Evasion. Thank you.

Another RNG guardsmen was requesting 32s for trespassers.

alfio420 was the one that asked for assistance.

Was this trespasser identified as a guardsman?
STATE V. 125852
GRAND JURY TRANSCRIPT
In exhibit D*
g_dsteel — 08/04/2022
When I arrived on scene, we didn't see any trespassers.
But there was a civilian jumping over the fence, and when I asked
Alfio if he was the trespasser
He responded "No, its a guardsman"
something along those lines.
State Attorney #1 — 08/04/2022
When the civilian jumped over the fence, he got into a blue truck,
correct?
g_dsteel — 08/04/2022
No, he got into a trem I believe.
Then jumped into a blue truck.
That's why I went to pull him over
For possible grand theft.
State Attorney #1 — 08/04/2022
Okay. So at that point, you pursued him, attempting to pull him over,?
g_dsteel — 08/04/2022
Yes.
State Attorney #1 — 08/04/2022
Did he pull over?
g_dsteel — 08/04/2022
No he did not.
I followed him from RNG MEZ to Sterling
And in Sterling Hood I believe is when he started to speed off.
I had both my lights and sirens on.
Honking as well.

I’m truley sorry but some plans came up for today, that I didn’t even
know about till today. I would love to do what ever we have to do for
this part and move on. I’m really sorry, it isn’t by my choice. If I
am available later today, would you like me to notify you guys?
Also, sorry if there is any grammatical errors, I’m on the moblie
browser right now.
125852 — 08/06/2022

I should be free today to do whatever it is I have to do. I do need to

@Presiding Justice siteowner @HolyRomanRyan
Although for your guy’s timezones it still could be yesterday.
But I’m sure both of you get the idea.
125852 — 08/07/2022
Nevermind, I’ve been out almost all day and will likely be for the
rest of the day. Meant to say something earlier, sorry.
125852 — 08/08/2022
Pretty sure I’ll be busy today (8th) with another group. Let me know
when you guys are free to do this. Also if someone could tell me what
this part is, that’d be great.
