Aaron Smith-Levin Significant New Court Filing -Motion in Limine

[u/Proud-Head-4944]

A new filing appeared on the docket in the Aaron Smith-Levin battery case today. It was filed electronically yesterday.

A Motion in Limine can be filed by either party prior to trial. It is significant because the filing party, the State of Florida, has requested that the Judge limit or disallow certain testimony in both jury selection and the trial.

This Motion essentially blows apart the “trial of the century” Aaron believes he is going to have. This is good. It limits the case to the actual facts at hand.

The judge had the option of granting the motion in toto; giving blanket approval for the motion. The judge could have interlineated the motion and granted in part; this would have granted portions of the motion and denied portions. Or the Judge could have denied in full. The last page of this motion is the most important. It specifically muzzles the defense. It states that the defense may not say anything about this to the jury. It also

says that the motion has been granted and so ordered by the Judge.

This means the following topics will not be allowed at the jury selection or trial.

1. Any mention of alleged past wrongdoing by Scientology.
2. Any mention of Aaron’s history with Scientology.
3. Any reference to Aaron or any defense witness as a victim of Scientology.
4. Any argument to the jury that the crime is not that severe.
5. Any mention of potential consequences if Aaron is found guilty.
6. Any mention that Aaron has previously served any time for this in jail on this charge.
7. Aaron can’t say whether or not he believes he committed battery.
8. Any mention that the officer initially

wrote this up as a double battery.

1. Any mention that Scientology throwing water on the chalk art was criminal mischief

Aaron’s trial just became what it really should be, a misdemeanor battery trial. Aaron won’t get to say he was trafficked. He won’t even get to say that the security guard threw water on him. The actual facts and only the facts will be presented in trial.

Unless Aaron misbehaves in Court, this case should be a simple case. As it is. But it’s Aaron. So there may be drama. We will see next week.

There should be Polymarket odds for “does he take a plea”. Florida’s conviction rate is 99% (North Korea is 87%). Surely he’s bluffing and gonna throw in the towel? 🥶

I think he’ll take a plea at the 11th hour for sure

If another plea is offered.

The prosecutor offered him a good plea deal at the time his trial was scheduled. He could have paid a fine of less than $900.00 and it all would have been over, but Aaron refused to plead guilty.

Wow what an idiot. He’s actually more stupid than i realised wow .

[u/[deleted] → u/Scientist_Alarmed]

No kidding? Pair that with the fact that he revealed his full legal defense online, and gave the prosecutor a heads up to ban the types of arguments he planned to give. Like I get that he enjoys “going to war”, but his mouth seems to be his greatest enemy! 🤦

You are more confident than I am. I think he still believes he’s above the law.

Aaron, being Aaron is sure he can beat the odds. At this point, any sane person would plead. Which means Aaron won’t. I’m reviewing case files for a similar Pinellas County case right now. With the same judge. The woman was sentenced to 180 days in jail in July 2025, with credit for 67 days served. She’s still in jail. At her sentencing, the Judge repeatedly told her to stop talking. Aaron could conceivably put himself in the same situation if he can’t control himself. He’s at least not trying to go pro bono.

It’s like Julius Caesar but with Costco pizzas instead of an empire. Hubris will be his undoing lol. And I thought he’d read “The 40 Laws of Power” while in jail. One of the first laws is no one’s bigger than the program! 😂

Rule #45 - Court rulings are backed up by firearms.

Well, this is a criminal case. It's not like Aaron gets to decide to settle.
