On March 31st of this year I requested that Grafton County Attorney Martha Hornick legally identify Robert L. Lamontagne as a “victim” under New Hampshire’s Victim’s Bill of Rights Act for the criminal due process violations we allege he sustained during his trial. Unfortunately CA Hornick has appeared to take no action on this. No disrespect intended to her… but we’re not interested in sitting around waiting for this case to get older. We’re appealing to NH Attorney General John Formella immediately to have his Office designate Rob a legal “victim” of state agent misconduct that seems to have cost him his right to a fair trial.
If Rob went to State Prison for nearly ten years on an established practice of willful due process violations in Cheshire County — other people probably did too. That is an unacceptable disruption in controlling federal constitutional law by state authorities that have no such authority. The American public shouldn’t tolerate this. These national rules exist to protect our people uniformly throughout the land. Defense lawyers have an absolute legal right to know the credibility risks of a witness says the United States Constitution. State law in New Hampshire makes it a crime of various degrees to conceal this required federal information.
This is so serious of a breach in the public trust in my view that people with badges should be investigating this… not a blogger on FreeKeene.com.
Nonetheless, we respectfully appeal to New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella to have Rob designated a “victim” of a criminal due process violations that caused him serious harm.

Bradley made a comment previously about a case involving Robert L. Lamontagne who was convicted by a jury for a crime he didn’t commit. His comment should have been a blog post, and so I’ll post it here now. The important thing to remember about this case is Robert has maintained his innocence for close to 40 years and that the evidence relied upon to convict was sourced from a corrupt law enforcement officer.
Bradley’s not a libertarian, though taking up a worthy cause, and he’s a former law enforcement officer himself. Robert is not a libertarian either, but also pursuing a worthy cause of making the public aware of the injustices in the system. He has little to gain, and will at a minimum suffer from harassment for bringing his story to light.
Bardley’s comment emphases a systematic problem with our “justice system”. It convicts folks without sufficient evidence and with “evidence” that is tainted. When a jury hasn’t been made aware of an officer’s problematic history of telling lies those involved in failing to inform the defense should be criticized, arrested, and charged.
In this case the law enforcement officers whose testimony the jury relied on to convict was on the lorry list and should never have been used at trial. This was not revealed to the defendant and laws were broken by the prosecutor and law enforcement. This is not a story about a child rapist, but a story about a man wrongfully convicted based on tainted evidence who is himself a victim of the system. The law enforcement officer whose ethics are in question made a name for himself “protecting kids”, but in reality has gained notoriety by luring men into situations under false pretenses and then making false claims about their actions, intent, and/or circumstances.

… in the Sullivan County Superior Court on my client Robert L. Lamontagne’s behalf.
The case was transferred out of Cheshire County to the Sullivan County Superior Court. The State review of the case was assigned to Grafton County Attorney Martha Hornick.
Here is the DOCKET REPORT for Rob’s case for you to have a better understanding of the flow of the case.
Our investigation continues.
As I am now a court officer I must specify that this blog is made pursuant to NH Rule of Professional Conduct 3.6 (c) (2) (3) and (6) as well as Part I, Article 10 of the New Hampshire Constitution and the 1st Amendment of the Federal Constitution.

My “client” Robert Lamontagne just forwarded me a disturbing voice message sent to him harassing him for the case we’re working on. I find this to be quite juvenile.
First off, Rob maintains his complete innocence for the charges he was convicted of. He’s been screaming this at the top of his lungs for many years. So far I personally agree with him that it appears there are valid legal questions about the integrity of his conviction. We’re investigating that now… and that takes time.
Second off, even if he WAS truly guilty of what he was convicted of, he has completed the sentence that the government of the State of New Hampshire handed him. His debt to society has been paid in full according to the State.
Continuing to harass him truly is unfair and could be criminal in itself.
I will forward to law enforcement any harassment Rob receives from today forward.
Please be kind.

It is a bit ridiculous that I have to do this… but here is my “Demand Letter” to the Keene Police demanding they comply with NH RSA 91-A. The next step is filing a formal lawsuit against the City of Keene in the Cheshire County Superior Court.
I know many of you who engage here at FreeKeene.com are skeptical of Mr. Lamontagne’s claims of innocence. I’d like to think that even if you are one who is skeptical of Rob’s claims that you would agree that the KPD should be complying with state laws regarding public records.
A thorough review of what happened in his case is only possible if we can acquire these records.
UPDATE: 178 minutes after posting this blog and e-mailing the demand letter to Assistant County Attorney Tim Donovan I received the records that were requested.

As I wrote in the last blog I published I am presently awaiting a records request that I made to the Keene, NH Police Department on 1/21/25. That request was made in the form of a letter to the Keene Police Chief, Steve Stewart.
I received an email response from Assistant Cheshire County Attorney Tim Donovan on 1/24/25 that they were unable to locate the records I was seeking. I reiterated in an email response that same day that I was looking for all department records that pertain to Mr. Robert Lamontagne. On 1/27/25 Attorney Donovan responded that the request was being forwarded to the Keene Police Records Department for fulfilment. Oddly, Attorney Donovan also responded that they were not treating my request as a “91-A” records request.

As many of you know I am not a licensed “Attorney-at-Law.” I am, however, a former law enforcement officer with some legal experience who enjoys dabbling in legal work as a hobby to help others who find themselves in various legal predicaments.
I recently posted on the Shire Society Forum that I was interested in donating some of my free time to get involved in another legal case. A gentleman named Robert “Rob” Lamontagne responded and asked me if I would help him with his legal situation.
Please meet Mr. Robert “Rob” Lamontagne
