As expected, John P. Arnold ruled in a 15 page “ORDER”, that the city police do not have to release the case file reports or photos regarding Thomas James Ball’s self immolation last summer. All the people calling themselves “the state” had to do to justify their restriction of what should be public records was claim there were family members who did not wish the information released. It matters not that Ball committed suicide in a very public manner. He wanted people to see what he did and ask why, which he answered in a lengthy suicide letter. However, the state people have other interests, namely, shoving Ball’s death under the rug, in order to protect not the family, but the state people’s legitimacy.
Wouldn’t want anyone to hear the canary in the mine, now would they?
Before anyone jumps on me, yes, I know that ANY job comes with perks. Things like free cheeseburgers for the McDonald’s staff, the use of the company car for a CEO or whatever one’s trade might be, it most likely comes with some perk. When employed by the government though the perks get really good.
While a large number of those accused of a crime face questioning, time in jail and hefty legal expenses those employed by the government rarely face their own wrath. I could go on and on about public officials that commit cold blood murder, rape and theft but I’d like to point to a closer incident.
Last June I was arrested while asking Edward Burke – who’s employed as a district court judge in Keene, NH – three questions about him enforcing contempt charges on people wearing hats in a public courtroom (and here)? Edward first stated that I had threatened him, which was completely false (as seen in the video), and tried to get out of it the only way he knew how – lie. Which is why I asked “the system” (aka Keene Police) to investigate Edward for filing a false report with law enforcement (or lying to them effect an arrest). After being passed around from the Keene Police to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office, the file finally landed on Marc Hathaway’s desk – who’s employed as a NH county attorney. It took Marc over six months to write his review.
Under current law, attorneys must be members of the N.H. Bar Association, which requires them to serve the court first before a client or the law, which is a conflict of interest. HB 1474 would allow attorneys to opt-out of their membership in the BAR, and thus serve their clients and justice without regard for the requirements of the BAR or the Court system. Such a change would likely improve the BAR, as it would have to make changes to keep and attract attorneys as members.
Please e-mail HouseRepublicans@leg.state.nh.us and ask House Republicans to support the committee’s OTP recommendation on HB 1474.
STOP Judicial Child Abuse in New Hampshire Family Courts is a popular legal blog for tracking abuses of all things domestic relations law related in the New Hampshire Judicial Branch’s Family Court Division. I’m honored to say that I’ve been invited to guest blog at their site about abuses I witnessed in the area of domestic relations law while working as a law enforcement officer.
I cannot imagine one New Hampshire law enforcement officer who has not had to serve some court order that they knew just defies logic as it pertains to a specific family situation. Kicking people out of their own home is not a pleasant thing to have to do for work… especially when you know the court is wrong. Police officers know far better what the situation is within a family with problems than the court ever will, yet those same officers are often completely unaware of hearings which result in lives literally being destroyed.
Today the blog published an article informing the New Hampshire legal community of the New Hampshire Judicial Branch abuses of Adam Muller and Jason Talley.
