Received by Maine A.G and MCPDS on 3-05-26

Last month I sent a letter to the Maine Commission for Public Defense Services; it was a request for a new attorney. It was received on March 5, 2026...picked up at 8:40 a.m., 9589071052702739723660; and a copy sent to the Attorney General of Maine was picked up at the same time, 9589071052702739723677.

After a Maine jury convicted me of stalking, another lawyer was appointed to me; however, only for the sentencing. I haven't had a fair trial. In just a few hours, the jury could not possibly have understood the Maine statues regarding stalking and the 2023 U.S. Supreme Court case Counterman v. Colorado. Below is a statement taken from an abstract of the case in an Idaho Law Review: 

The holding creates a new, additional burden on the movant to prove intent, where before, the majority of state and circuit courts only required an objective, reasonable person standard to prove intent in true threat cases

I would like the jury to explain how they arrived at a conclusion of guilt when there was nothing threatening about my social media posts. And I didn't send them to her...she went looking for the posts. The one meetup we had happened in the presence of law enforcement who would have arrested me if I did something wrong. The Counterman decision should have helped my defense! 

Prior to the trial by jury I told my lawyer that the state's witness had not only misused the protection order against me, but against another individual who I intended to have testify. It's not fair that I was not allowed to present evidence of her pattern of abuse. 

My abuser/accuser only claims to have suffered distress...while I actually did  suffer distress: police destroyed my apartment door and illegally took my Iphone and haven't given it back. I've been arrested and jailed overnight. I lost customers; and yet I can't find an attorney to file a civil rights lawsuit. 

The lack of accountability of those who work in the justice system is a problem in every state. I'm pretty outspoken, but I feel I'm not being heard. 

Caleb Gaul says he received a settlement from Maine cops

I read about a case of warrantless arrest a while back, like 4 or 5 years ago. Since then I've been wondering its status. Caleb Gaul had the assistance of the ACLU of Maine to sue law enforcement after he was arrested in his yard. 

Well, I found him on Facebook recently and friended him. He put out a short video. Apparently, his ex is keeping him from his children. He says so at the very beginning of the video when he lights up paperwork regarding the guardian ad litem. 

Then he says he was paid off by the cops and will eventually be paid off by the judges in Maine. He's no longer in Maine by the way. Here's the video. 

Taxpayers are the ones paying the cost of settlements when State of Maine employees misbehave. Maybe Caleb is under an obligation not to discuss or disclose the terms of a settlement; but Maine taxpayers have the right to know how our money gets spent...to know how much the misdeeds of law enforcement cost us.  

Disenfranchised? Not ME

Texas appeals court overturns Crystal Mason’s conviction, 5-year sentence for illegal voting

“We are relieved for Ms. Mason, who has waited for too long with uncertainty about whether she would be imprisoned and separated from her family for five years simply for trying to do her civic duty,” said Thomas Buser-Clancy, senior staff attorney for the ACLU of Texas. 

Maine and Vermont are the only two states where anyone can vote. Other states prohibit prisoners, or individuals who've been convicted of certain felonies from voting; the total of disenfranchised individuals is 5.85 million.

Maine and Vermont are also the safest...although if you were to factor in corruption by government and local officials, judges, etc., I'm sure Maine would not rank as highly.
