Back in 2011/2012 I posted at length here on FreeKeene.com about a case I was working on: State v. Jason Talley.

In that case a judge illegally ordered the arrest of a citizen journalist, Ademo Freeman, for literally asking questions about public policy and its enforcement… some of the most protected speech under the 1st Amendment. The judge lied to court bailiffs to have him arrested.

The Sullivan County Attorney at the time, Marc Hathaway, engaged in a word salad game to “clear” the judge of any criminal liability, but before that other high ranking judges in the New Hampshire Judicial Branch enacted rules restricting the state AND federal constitutions so that one of their own would never be embarrassed like that again.

I was interviewed by a now New Hampshire State Senator about this.

Now, Robert L. Lamontagne, who served nearly a decade in the state prison for a crime he never should have been convicted of, without a fair trial, is facing contempt charges for posting some “sealed” information.

See the hypocrisy here? This is just a “good’ole boys club” where THEY can break the law with impunity but YOU get hammered into the ground if you make a simple mistake.

I can’t speak for Rob’s lawyer, Michael J. Iacopino, but in my opinion New Hampshire needs a legal revolution in the court system. No longer should these questionable people be able to control your peaceful lives when they so glaringly are above the laws they are entrusted with administering. There are two classes of men in New Hampshire: the club, and YOU.

You pay their salaries while they are above the laws you must follow.

If I was representing Rob still in this case I’d make his contempt hearing about Part I, Article 10 of the New Hampshire Constitution and prove way past the requirement of preponderance of the evidence up to and even way beyond a reasonable doubt that the New Hampshire government is corrupted and complicit in covering up its own illegal acts while penalizing the common citizen for acts that really aren’t a big deal.

De minimis non curat lex, Grafton County Attorney Hornick and Governor Ayotte.

called free talk live around mid september to talk about the speech restrictions imposed on Robert and their apparent attempt to prosecute him over talking about his own case. Thanks for all the work you are putting into this stuff Brad!

Thank you Dave.

I’m taking some flak on the comment section on the FK blog from someone who is accusing me of not having Rob’s best interests in mind.

All I can tell the community here is this:

I care about Robert Lamontagne. I think he’s a good man and I enjoyed becoming buddies with him.

He probably hates me for what I felt I had to do to protect myself in this case… that being report his rule violation to the State. I literally didn’t have a choice else I could have been held in contempt and put in jail if it got back to the courts or prosecutor that I witnessed what happened and didn’t report it.

There were two other people who witnessed what Rob did that I didn’t know… I had no idea what their intentions were or if they would post restricted information elsewhere.

I’m sick of the State of New Hampshire’s little clique of government officials breaking the rules with impunity. I want to see a Part I, Article 10 case bring the New Hampshire government system to it’s knees. I was hoping to do that in Rob’s case before this fiasco happened.

Rob, if you’re reading this, I’m so very sorry for what you’re going through. I believe you’re owed millions of dollars for what you’ve been through and I’m not planning on shutting up about the injustice you and your family have endured.

I hope you can understand why I had to do what I did.
