I wanted to send something to the Superior Court in Caribou, for him, and for myself before we go visit him; however, I haven't done that yet. Anyway, I don't have much confidence that doing that will result in him getting a post-conviction review, or a new attorney, or a resentencing based on the evidence below.
Shane claims he made a request already and was denied both post-conviction review and a new attorney. I've asked him for copies of what he sent...but he didn't keep copies apparently. If I was closer, I could access the information at the Superior Court in Caribou. I'm 4.5 hours away. Shane took a plea bargain to aggravated assault, and was sentenced to 22 years, all but 9 suspended. That's quite harsh considering Justin Steggall's criminal history, which I believe I've posted about already...and apparent behavior just days before the shooting.
Shane says he has never even seen the evidence I have. Jail rules won't allow me to bring him any paperwork, and when I mailed the below screenshot/evidence to him, it was sent back to me, due to prison rules not allowing prisoners to receive screenshots.
I received the text only after Shane was incarcerated. 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.
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.
Those who are interested in the charges against me, I will be posting separately about that. The state still won't drop the ridiculous charges of Attempted Disorderly Conduct, and has transferred the case to Superior Court in Caribou.
