Robert L. Lamontagne vs. The State of New Hampshire… Oh… It Continues

I have been absent from posting about this case for several months now as I have withdrawn as Mr. Lamontagne’s non-lawyer representative in the Cheshire County Superior Court.  I did this because after specifically warning Rob not to violate a court rule, he went ahead and did just that…  violated the court rule.

This violation put me in a position where I had to report his conduct to the State of New Hampshire OR I myself could get in trouble.  It really broke my heart to have to do it…  but I did.  Now the State of New Hampshire is coming after him in a hearing I’ve been subpoenaed to on October 14th 2025 at 2:30PM in the Cheshire County Superior Court.

Robert L. Lamontagne vs. The State of New Hampshire: An E-mail to an Assistant County Prosecutor

Now normally I wouldn’t be posting private e-mails between myself and an opposing lawyer working on a case I’m working on as I don’t find that generally to be very classy — but I felt it was appropriate to post an e-mail I sent to an Assistant Grafton County Attorney this morning.

The government has unfortunately been showing Rob and I about zero respect.  They are not communicating anything about anything…  and I’ve been working on this since January.

This is the e-mail I sent this to Assistant Grafton County Attorney Taylor Moult.

Robert L. Lamontagne vs. The State of New Hampshire: Defense Filed Documents

After respectfully asking both the Grafton County Attorney and New Hampshire Attorney General to properly designate Robert L. Lamontagne a “victim” of criminal conduct due process violations and receiving literally no response from either Office — we are filing the following PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS in the Sullivan County Superior Court.

A “writ of mandamus” is a judicial remedy practiced in common law legal systems where a court of equity has the power to order government officials to perform an act that is required by law.  I have identified the possibility of multiple crimes committed by government officials in Robs case and have communicated to the authorities the same.  They owe Rob a full investigation and the proper designation: a victim of state misconduct.

It is the State of New Hampshire that should be going out of its way to make things right with Robert Lamontagne.  We shouldn’t have to chase them around and force them to act through court actions.  They should be doing the right thing on their own accord.

I realize they are busy writing checks to YDC victims at the moment…  and the last thing they want is a class action group of people who were collectively screwed out of the right to a fair trial by repeated Brady violations forming an alliance and literally bankrupting the entire State of New Hampshire.

Governor Kelly Ayotte should step in to this Cheshire County Brady violation issue and order her Attorney General to conduct a full investigation.

** UPDATE 05/13/25 **

05/12/25 – ORDER from Superior Court Chief Judge Mark E. Howard transferring the case back to Cheshire County Superior Court.

Robert L. Lamontagne vs. The State of New Hampshire – An Appeal To Attorney General John Formella

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.
