Visiting Shane

Shane says he has never been shown the text mesage below, which I sent to his attorney, Verne Paradie, by email. Paradie hired Investigator Hank Dusenbery; and I spoke with him. He never interviewed the guys.



My son is caught up in a system where you're guilty until proven innocent...imprisoned while waiting for counsel to be appointed and a speedy trial scheduled can take weeks, months, even years.  

Jail rules won't allow me to bring in any paperwork, and when I mailed the text message to Shane it was sent back to me because it's a screenshot...and they're not allowed.

I sent the screenshot and other evidence to Governor Mills, and asked for her help. She has a duty to ensure that the laws of Maine are faithfully executed. I got no reply. 


I asked for help from Maine Senator Margaret Rotundo. She put me in touch with one of her aides, named Patrick Reagan. He contacted someone at the Department of Corrections, Sam Prawer. Patrick apparently accessed the letter to Governor Mills, which contained the evidence above, and much more, and gave it to Mr. Prawer. After a few weeks without hearing from anyone, I messaged Patrick. He wrote back, saying about Sam Prawer:
He told me that there was nothing they could do. In order to change a court's decision you'd have to go back through the courts, apparently.
