Though I do believe there are many Honorable lawyers serving in judicial office in New Hampshire (and to you I thank you for your dedicated service), I vehemently oppose the idea that American citizens should be forced at (ultimately) gunpoint to show respect for government institutions.
In that light, as I have done before (but this time with more umph), I am filing this Motion To Refrain From Authorizing Physical Force To Demand Respect in the Keene District Court.
I don’t do this to be rude to the presiding judge… I do it as a means of peaceful protest to a system that I believe fails to hold its own agents accountable for the actual harming of people while penalizing and fining the common citizen for acts that harm no one.

Just a reminder… I’m not a trained lawyer, so I make mistakes lawyers wouldn’t. That said – I think it is high time the NH state government address the ghosts of its past and contrast them to its continued enforcement of victimless offenses against the peaceful.
We’ll see.

So I drove to Keene today to comply with the interstate summons that Grafton County Attorney Martha Hornick had the Cheshire County Superior Court issue me with regards to Robert L. Lamontagne vs. The State of New Hampshire.
I have no information to report other than the fact that I witnessed Rob’s attorney meet with CA Hornick and then once we were all in the courtroom the CA told me I was being released from the summons.
I may have accidently failed to put coins in the meter where I parked outside the courthouse and was issued a parking ticket. I went to the Keene City Hall and told them I wanted to be formally charged and issued a court date.
So I was.

On Tuesday, October 14, 2025, at 2:30 PM in Cheshire County Superior Court, my friend Rob Lamontagne faces a contempt hearing for posting “sealed” court information online, a technical violation the State of New Hampshire is blowing out of proportion. I’m summoned as a state witness because I reported the breach, and I want to explain why I did so, why the state’s response is absurd, and why you should join me at the hearing to support Rob.
Yes, I informed the State about Rob’s confidentiality breach, and some of you have criticized me for it in the comment sections of my posts. But as a non-lawyer representative acting as a court officer, I had a duty to report it as courts rely on people like me to be candid about violations. If I stayed silent and a judge found out, I could’ve faced contempt myself. That said, the state’s decision to prosecute Rob for this minor issue is outrageous. A verbal or written warning would’ve sufficed, and at the hearing, you’ll see why this is a technicality not worth a courtroom circus.
This case isn’t just about Rob… it’s another chapter in New Hampshire’s history of judicial overreach. In the early 2010s, activists Jason Talley and Ademo Freeman faced similar abuses. In State v. Jason Talley, a judge ordered Ademo’s arrest for simply asking questions about policy enforcement… a clear 1st Amendment violation. The Sullivan County Attorney twisted words to protect the judge, and the NH Judicial Branch rewrote rules to curb constitutional rights, all to avoid embarrassment.
Sound familiar?

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.
