Derrick J. Jailed for At Least 75 Days

My friend and co-blogger Derrick J checked in to the local spiritual retreat Monday at 5pm. His sentence could be as little as 75 days, and possibly over 100, depending on “good time”. Please write to Derrick via Mail-to-Jail or at this address:

Derrick Horton
825 Marlboro Rd.
Keene, NH 03431

You can put money into his commissary (so he can be a little more comfortable on the inside) via the info here.

Stay tuned to Free Keene as Derrick J is expected to blog from the inside. Plus, a feature-length documentary is in the works.

Your letters make a big difference – please send your thoughts to Derrick. Mail-to-Jail makes it easy.

My Affidavit To The NH Senate

Here is the sworn statement I’ve submitted to the New Hampshire Senate Judiciary Committee about what I believe is blatant abuse of Part II, Article 73-a by select judges in the New Hampshire Judicial Branch.

To those of you reading this in law enforcement:  The complaint for False Reports to Law Enforcement only has to allege knowingly, but you could even prove purposefully.  The Judge stopped, turned around, and stated unequivocally “that’s a criminal offense.”  He made darn sure the bailiffs arrested Ademo.

Could he have felt threatened?  Sure.  Was it a criminal offense?  Absolutely not.

Would someone please arrest Judge Burke already?

To Fred and Josh in “Code Enforcement”, please stop picking on my neighbors.

Fred Parsells and I go way back. I like the guy personally – we’ve dined together a number of times over the years and had pleasant conversations. However, last year he left his job at the “Keene Housing Authority” and took on the role of city “Code Enforcer”. A former detective with the Keene police, (and I believe collecting a police pension) Fred has decided to make my property one of his pet projects and has begun a campaign of harassing me, my tenants, and most recently, my new neighbors next door. (Curiously, prior to Fred being hired, I hadn’t heard from code enforcement in five years. So, clearly there weren’t any glaring issues at the time upsetting anyone. The one time I did hear from code enforcement prior to the five years was due to the complaint from a city employee.)

I recently came home to discover Fred and his partner Josh, parked out front of my house, standing at my new neighbors’ door. They were just leaving and I inquired of Pete, who was there recording, as to what was going on. I was informed that they were threatening the neighbor over the car in their side yard. I informed Fred and Josh that I have no problem with their car being there and that I don’t appreciate them picking on my neighbors. Josh told me to stop eavesdropping, as though when strange men come threatening my neighbors that it’s not my business. I don’t know where Josh lives, but I want to live in a place where neighbors care that their neighbors are being threatened by aggressors.

Afterward, I spoke with the lady next door and assured her that I had not called code enforcement on them and nor would I. If I have an issue with a neighbor, I’ll do like a good neighbor should, and drop by to talk. She informed me that Fred claimed he’d gotten a complaint from another neighbor regarding their car in the yard, because the other neighbor had experienced code enforcers threatening them over the same issue.

A Request For The Legal Minds Who Follow This Blog

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.
