IN THE HONOURABLE MAGISTRATE OF THE KINGDOM OF ALEXANDRIA
CRIMINAL ACTION
Case No. 6
ENTREATY TO RECONSIDER
Your Honor,
While I agree that PhillinDeBlanc's general conduct and personal information is not needed to be made public, what the Defense is requesting is specifically records regarding PhillinDeBlanc's conduct as a representative of the MoJ in his capacity as a police officer. Normally character evidence of this kind is not allowed in trials, however I believe this merits the exception laid out in the Court Rules regarding Pattern of Behavior. See
General Court Rules and Procedures (JuniperFig, 2025). §8 of
The New Hamilton Police Department Code of Conduct notes than any mistakes, negligence or violations of the Code of Conduct will result in disciplinary action that is recorded, and those might establish a pattern of behavior.
The Defense would be willing to compromise to limit the scope of the records to only those regarding complaints or investigations around arrests that resulted in disciplinary action against PhillinDeBlanc that are not already in evidence. These records would be of importance to proving the Defense's assertion that the arresting officer is not the most well behaved officer and has a propensity for deviating from the rules.
If these records do not exist they would only strengthen the Crown's case in that regard as they can claim the arresting officer has not history of misconduct. However if these records do exist and they show this pattern of behavior, they are more prejudicial to the Defendant's case if they are not on the record than if they were.
This is all I will have to say on this matter and will not argue it any further in this court.
Respectfully Submitted,
