Case dismissed without prejudice, over the objection of the State.
Thank you to Assistant County Attorney John Webb and New Hampshire Associate Attorney General Richard Head for being both cordial and helpful adversaries in the legal process. Judge Barry was extremely professional as well, so I thank him also.
Congratulations to Jason Talley and thanks to all the anonymous lawyers who took time to comment, call, and offer advice!
The Cheshire County Superior Court has unequivocally asserted that it is completely within the Court’s prerogative to order violence to force you to stand in the courtroom when instructed. In the past this Court has even done such ridiculous things as ordering law enforcement officers to lift people up by their elbows and ordering people’s arrest for not standing… only to release them five minutes later and wish them a “Merry Christmas.”
This stuff is happening in the United States of America. Really.
As an officer of the Court, I must ask you to comply with the Court’s order and stand under your own power when attending Jason’s trial tomorrow. If you don’t stand, you may be physically lifted or imprisoned.
If you’re unable to stand or are injured, you may just have to explain yourself further.
Remember:
Jason Talley filed a “Motion To Refrain From Authorizing Physical Force To Demand Respect.”
The State objected and supported the notion of continued violence to make people stand.
The Court sided with the State in an stamped order.
Jason filed a “Motion To Reconsider” his original motion asking the Court not to use violence against the public.
The Court denied the “Motion To Reconsider.“
Jason now faces only criminal charges for possession of a camera in a public area of a public building.
Even the Cheshire County Superior Court has abolished that rule, yet Jason Talley remains charged with “disorderly conduct” and “resisting arrest.”
I miss my gays.
At the time I write this, I have stayed up all night, exhausted by the mental energy I’ve exerted negotiating via e-mail with the little boys in men’s suits who are seeking to put me in a jail cell.
I didn’t know what I was getting into when I came to Keene to be an activist. I wanted to stand on the right side of history. I wanted to live and breathe total liberty. I wanted to show the world the limitless joys their imaginations don’t permit them to envision. I wanted to be famous. I dared to dream.

New Hampshire State Representative Kevin Avard (R) (Hills-20) is doing amazing work on giving voice to people who have suffered abuses by the NH Judicial Branch in his new show “Speak Up New Hampshire.”
I was honored when Rep. Avard asked me to be his second guest to speak of the abuses suffered by Ademo Freeman and Jason Talley of Keene by the hands of the judiciary. That interview now has over 1,000 views.
Rep. Avard is shining a much needed spotlight on a branch of government that operates almost completely unaccountable to anyone.
He also needs your help.
Rep. Avard is asking that all people who support accountability in the New Hampshire Judicial Branch come to a press conference he is holding at the Legislative Office Building (LOB) in Concord next week in support of House Speaker William L. O’Brien’s continued support of the Redress of Grievances Committee.
I’d argue that whether your individual political ideology makes you a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Voluntaryist, Anarchist, Communist, or simply someone who doesn’t care about politics at all, you should agree that criminal public officials need to be held accountable by someone.
