Free Keene TV’s Ali Havens interviews several victims of the insane no trespass orders that have been leveled at activists for exercising their supposed rights to free speech and assembly:
During my involvement with representing Jason Talley, I was fortunate to have been anonymously contacted by several people whom were well versed in the law. These people were invaluable to helping me help Jason escape imprisonment on what he believed to be corrupt court orders.
I recently heard from a law enforcement officer about an awesome judge in Carroll County who calls the jail on the weekends on her own accord simply because she wants to make sure defendants do not get held just because the court is closed. She legally doesn’t have to do that. I think she probably does it because she is a good person who uses her authority to protect individual liberty. I’ve never met this judge, but she sounds awesome.

Today, May 1, 2012 at 9:30am I signed a plea deal. Attached below are scanned copies of the terms. The long and short of it is that I will be going to jail for 60-115 days, starting May 7th at 4:20pm. Even though it will be a tough experience, I feel a sense of relief because I have certainty whereas I had none before.
I was facing 4 trials, with charges collectively totaling about 9 years in jail. Even if I were found not guilty by a jury in each case, I would still serve about 80 days jail time in fines. This is essentially a time-saver. It’s like a bully is forcing me to choose between the unattractive options of being kicked in the shins today or being knocked out sometime in the next year. By signing the plea deal, I’m mitigating my potential exposure to further harm.
Hindsight is 20/20, and while I’ve taken note of my mistakes, I don’t regret my actions because they were always totally peaceful. No one is alleging that I have harmed anybody or damaged any property. The past year in Keene has been an invaluable learning experience, and I’d prefer to take a hit for living free than to allow paralyzing fear to cause inaction.
Here are the final documents from my involvement with helping Jason:
– State’s objection to Defendant’s motion to compel the return of property .PDF
– Court order denying Defendant’s motion to compel the return of property .PDF
– My withdrawal from representing Jason Talley before the Cheshire County Superior Court .PDF
Regarding the Court not returning Jason’s camera, please check out NH House Bill 0225. This bill (that just passed a House vote and moved to the NH Senate) would force the Court to give Jason his camera back.
It is his personal property and he isn’t facing any charges right now. Isn’t that only fair?
Please contact your NH Senator and ask them to support this bill!
I would again like to repeat my sincere appreciation for the professionalism of Assistant Cheshire County Attorney John Webb, Associate NH Attorney General Richard Head, and Superior Court Judges Kathleen McGuire and James Barry. I also extend my thanks to all of you who followed the case from start to finish. A special thank you to those of you who caught my spelling/grammatical/legal errors and took the time to contact me to let me know. 🙂
Michele Seven refused to take the plea on tickets for registering her car and a trailer. She took them to trial, as everyone should, to clog and hopefully eventually change the system. Here is the raw footage:
Is there anything than can stop this insane and nonstop abuse? Right now the grievance committee is hearing some of these cases, particularly Cheshire “superior” court’s John P. Arnold. Here are two stories from abused parents (at the hands of Arnold and his underlings), from Stop Judicial Child Abuse:
