Free(er) Thanks to You!

On Friday evening, some friends came to the Cheshire County House of Corrections (AKA the Keene Spiritual Retreat) with $500. They gave it to some of the agents working there with an agreement that in exchange, the agents would release me from their cage. I am now out of jail, but I am to be under house arrest.

THANK YOU to those of you who donated to my bail campaign. When it is returned after trial, it will be reinvested to help the next victim of state aggression. Any amount over the initial $500 needed will go toward paying legal council. That donation page can be found here.

Thank you also to those of you who visited, wrote letters, made phone calls, wrote blogposts, and shared links on facebook. I’ve caught up on everything facebook related, but since a lot of the letters didn’t reach the jail before I left, it will take more time to get back to those (since they have to forward them to me).

Thanks especially to those of you who filmed and edited video of the story. I have no doubt that this video helped to introduce the story and get everyone on the same page and resulted in my speedy return.

I have blogged extensively about my experience at LiveFreeOrDance.com/Released-from-Jail. It’s a dream to be a part of a community that is so supportive. Thank you.

Protect Yourself From Keene District Court Judge Edward Burke, Require Him To Write About Causing Ademo Freeman’s Illegal Arrest

LAST REVISION – 05/02/12

Nowhere in the Federalist Papers or New Hampshire’s own historic documents did I ever read that one of the powers the various founders of government intended be vested in government officials was the ability to imprison people for asking polite and respectful questions.  Unfortunately for all good judges in New Hampshire (and I’ve seen quite a few), Judge Burke got caught on camera lying to have that done.

If I were to be standing trial for something civil or criminal in Keene, NH and Judge Edward Burke were assigned to my case, I would have serious questions about his ability to be fair and impartial.

I am not a lawyer, so this shouldn’t be viewed as legal advice.  I’d ask you please view this as a suggestion on how I would protect my own rights from an enormously powerful government official.

Free Keene Activists Campaign To Impeach Corrupt Judge

by | Apr 9, 2012 | 0 comments

This past Friday, Bradley Jardis, Ian Freeman, and I held a rally outside the Keene district court to support the impeachment of corrupt judge Edward Burke for lying to have Ademo Freeman wrongfully imprisoned last June.  Much thanks to all who came out in spite of the early hour and cold weather!

Badges don’t grant extra rights, and neither do robes and gavels.  What Edward Burke did was unacceptable, and we here at Free Keene will continue to work to hold him accountable for his actions.
