Will the media cover the hearing? At this time there are nearly 3000 views of this video, which Assistant D.A. Mary Kellett apparently kept out of trial.
Please circulate the video, which I've placed in "My Favorite Videos." Filler has a website, http://www.fillerfund.com/. From it:

"On March 2, 2009, after examining the transcripts from Mr. Filler's trial and after considering Asst. DA Mary Kellett's conduct in this case, Honorable Justice Kevin M. Cuddy signed an order GRANTING Mr. Filler's motion for new trial due to prosecutorial misconduct by Asst. DA Mary Kellett."
Carey Roberts wrote about Mr. Filler's case and titled his story "In Maine, it doesn't pay to be a man." Misandy is the hatred of men.
"In one case, Kellett summed up the case to the jury with this comment, "there has been no evidence presented to you as the jury that would suggest that a sexual act hadn't occurred on those dates," revealing a sad ignorance of the legal principle that the burden of proof falls on the plaintiff."
Sound familiar? The prosecution in Dennis Dechaine's case used such arguments to convince a jury to convict Dennis, who is still waiting for his new trial after spending twenty years in jail! Books have been written on the police errors and prosecutorial misconduct which misled a jury to find Dennis guilty of murder over twenty years ago. The Maine Supreme Judicial Court will hear oral arguments in a hearing for a new trial for Filler. Details are posted at http://www.courts.state.me.us/maine_courts/supreme/oral_arguments.shtml
