[Marjo]

To: the Honorable Judge,

Subject: Formal Defense against Allegations of Unwanted Sexual Touch (Act 5.2)

Introduction

I, Marjo, through my counsel Lucius Barrington, submit this formal response to the allegations made under Act 5.2 of the Criminal Laws of Liberty City of IV:MP, detailed in the memorandum from Ray Fearon on behalf of [R*]Kawashty. This defense respects both in-character (IC) integrity and the out-of-character (OOC) rules of our server's roleplay environment.

Defense Points

- Absence of Defendant: In accordance with Act 2.1, the Presumption of Innocence, I assert that I was not present at the alleged incident's location and no in-game evidence has been provided to prove my character's involvement or presence at Bohan Gas Station on the specified date.

- Unauthenticated Allegations: As defined in Act 1.2, the claim lacks the legal structure to proceed without any in-character authorization or identification of my character in the purported act.

- (( Invalidity of OOC Evidence for IC Proceedings )): The evidence put forward is an OOC screenshot, which does not hold in-game evidentiary value as per the server's regulations. Roleplay justice is founded upon IC actions and proofs, and any material not gathered within the IC context cannot form the basis of a legitimate claim.

- (( Roleplay Standards Compliance )): The plaintiff's reliance on a screenshot contradicts our server's roleplay rules regarding mixing IC and OOC. There was no in-character action taken to record or document the incident, thus the claims lack the substantiation required by the roleplay standards of the server.

Conclusion

Given the absence of valid in-character evidence and the reliance on inadmissible OOC materials, this defense strongly requests the dismissal of the allegations. The integrity of roleplay and the distinction between IC and OOC elements are of the utmost importance in our community and must be preserved.

Respectfully,

Marjo (Defendant)

Lucius Barrington
Counsel for the Defense

(( Please note that the references to screenshots and the evidence therein are addressed in this communication as out-of-character points, which do not reflect or influence the in-character judicial process of our roleplay server. The separation of IC and OOC is fundamental to ensure fairness and roleplay authenticity. ))

Re: Case No. [1]: Unwanted Sexual Touch


Dear Mr. Fearon and Mr. Marjo,

Upon reviewing the memoranda submitted by both parties, it is evident that there is a divergence in perspectives regarding the alleged incident of unwanted sexual touch. While Mr. Fearon, on behalf of the plaintiff, has presented a compelling argument outlining the events in question, further evidence is required to substantiate the claim against Mr. Marjo.

Mr. Fearon, as the plaintiff's representative, I urge you to provide additional evidence or witness testimony that supports your assertion that Mr. Marjo is indeed the individual responsible for the alleged act of unwanted sexual touch. As the burden of proof lies with the plaintiff, it is imperative to establish a clear link between the defendant and the alleged misconduct.

Mr. Marjo, as the respondent in this matter, you are entitled to a fair and impartial adjudication of the allegations brought against you. Given the absence of definitive evidence placing you at the scene of the alleged incident, I encourage you to provide any information regarding your whereabouts and activities on the day in question. Your cooperation in this matter will assist the court in ascertaining the facts and reaching a just decision.

In light of the importance of ensuring a thorough examination of the facts, I invite both parties to engage in constructive dialogue and cooperation to facilitate the discovery of any additional evidence pertinent to the case. Collaboration between the parties may uncover key information that could contribute to a more informed and equitable resolution.

Should either party possess any further evidence or wish to make additional submissions, please notify the court at your earliest convenience. Your cooperation in this matter is crucial to ensuring a fair and expeditious resolution of the case.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I await your prompt response.

Sincerely,
