Call it Everyman’s “Shawshank Redemption.” Vladek Filler has won again (Bangor Daily News, 3/16/19). His victory is now complete. On March 12, federal Judge John Woodcock issued his ruling awarding Filler $1.77 million in damages for his illegal and immoral persecution by various authorities of the cities of Gouldsboro and Ellsworth, and Hancock and Washington counties. (The award is against a single person, Linda Gleason. Filler previously settled out of court with other defendants.) Perhaps more important than that award though was this statement in open court by Judge Woodcock:
And this is really, from a judicial perspective, it's just appalling. I can't say how sorry I am to you that you had such a terrible experience with the criminal justice system in this country and in this state. There's no excuse for what happened to you. I know that you were born in Kiev. Not far from Kiev is Prague. In Prague, there was an author named Franz Kafka, and he wrote a book called The Trial about a man who is subjected to a malicious and befuddling and horrific trial system, and, unfortunately, you're a living embodiment of what Franz Kafka wrote about. And I'm just terribly sorry it happened to you; there is just absolutely no excuse."
The final message of Filler’s story is that a person can, by being right, strong, calm and persistent, prevail over seemingly insuperable odds, over a system of state power that’s rigged against him.
I won’t reprise the facts of Filler’s case. I’ve written about it numerous times before. But here are a few of the people and “powers that be” over whom he prevailed:
His ex-wife who, fearing the loss of custody of their kids, leveled false allegations of sexual abuse and child abuse at him. Filler proved her allegations to be false and won sole custody of the children.
One assistant district attorney who prosecuted him for rape knowing him to be innocent of the charge. Filler proved himself to be innocent of the charge despite ADA Mary Kellett having lied to the police, lied to the judge, lied to the jury, lied to the press and violated the rules of procedure, the rules of evidence and at least seven ethical requirements for prosecutors. Filler’s persistence caused Kellett to resign her job as ADA and become the first and only prosecutor in the history of the state to be disciplined by the state bar association.
Numerous police officers who worked hand-in-glove with Kellett to try to railroad an innocent man into prison. Filler demonstrated their malfeasance in his civil suit against them. Rather than face a jury, the police settled that case out of court.
Filler prevailed in two attempts to find him guilty of criminal wrongdoing. He forced the state bar to discipline an assistant District Attorney and won significant money damages from numerous individuals and state entities. He is completely exonerated and they are disgraced. The only irony remaining is that the only person to yet apologize to Filler is Judge Woodcock, a man who’s never wronged him.
The criminal justice system is in many ways stacked against defendants. Even the innocent sometimes go to prison. But Vladek Filler proved that an innocent man can defeat the power of the state.
The family court system too is in many ways stacked against fathers, particularly when sexual assault allegations (i.e. the “silver bullet) are made against them. But Vladek Filler has proven that being in the right plus strength and perseverance can win the day.
For all those things, he stands as a beacon of hope to every innocent person who must confront and fight judicial systems that sometimes seem Kafkaesque.

Vladek Filler took on the system and won. The same system that was designed to crush men like him. For that Vladek is a hero. He took on a corrupt system that hopefully is being disconnected and rendered useless. To prosecute,imprison and carry out sentences upon those at all levels of the organizations involved. We at the Men's Rights Blog salute Vladek Filler for taking on the gynocrisy and winning.

Vladek Filler stood up to persecution and won
NCFM Heroes, Vladek Filler and Tatyana Roberts, extraordinary people
May 24, 2015
By NCFM
vladek fillerHeroes are hard to find. Vladek Filler and his sister Tatyana are two of them. They believe, that here, in the United States of America, the word “justice” means something, and they risked everything to prove it. Their epic journey also shows “innocent until proven guilty “is a sham.
Roughly, eight years ago, Ligia Filler, Vladek’s unhinged mother of their two children, feared losing custody of their children. To gain advantage in their divorce case, she began making unsupported allegations of child abuse, sexual molestation, even spousal rape.
Nevertheless, there were sustainable reports Ligia abused the children, threatened to harm Vladek, and even threatened to murder police officers. One incident report revealed, “Ms. Filler chanted about ‘cutting up’ the defendant [Vladek] while laughing and crying hysterically, swearing and kicking a door.”
Child welfare workers conducted and extensive investigation. Accordingly, not only did Vladek gain custody of their two sons, they were allowed to move to Atlanta where all three now live. The family court judge said,
“[Ligia Filler] accused Mr. Filler of molesting the children. That allegation was false and known to be false. She has shown a capacity to manufacture claims…”
Hancock County Assistant District Mary Kellett knew of Ligia’s disreputable reputation, Vladek gaining custody of the children, and even the Family Court Judge’s finding that Ligia lied and made false claims. Yet Kellett, seemingly obsessed with Vladek’s’ downfall, mercilessly pursued him.
Since then, and through several trials, Kellett suppressed evidence that supported Vladek’s claims, and misrepresented and fabricated information against him. In one trial, Kellett convinced the court to disallow Vladek an opportunity to discredit Ligia or introduce information about their contentious divorce, key aspects of Vladek’s defense. Kellett then told the uninformed jury there was no evidence to prove a contentious divorce existed! She, like Ligia, blatantly lied. Everyone involved knew it except the jurors, including the judge and Vladek’s flabbergasted attorney who immediately moved for a mistrial.
Moreover, “During her initial closing argument, ADA Kellett told the jury, ‘there has been no evidence presented to you as the jury that would suggest that a sexual act hadn’t occurred…’” In the absence of evidence, Kellett attempted to shift the burden of proof to Vladek. Such behavior and disregard for evidence, law, constitutional protections and fundamental fairness, stem from a societal shift from rights of the accused to victim rights; plus, feminist judicial re-engineering, which promotes the idea that allegations by women trump factual evidence to the contrary.
Vladek Filler
Except, Vladek and Tatyana forgot to give up…
Kellett was but one of four female attorneys wielding feminist jurisprudence like a bloody man-hating sword, who in concert perverted Vladek’s innocence and the evenhanded administration of law, including a Maine Supreme Court Justice.
Vladek, Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAFE) and the National Coalition for Men (NCFM) filed complaints against Kellett with the State Board of Overseers. A Voice For Men and other groups later joined the fight to free Vladek and jail Kellett.
The Board of Overseers found Kellett responsible for gross misconduct and recommended suspension from the practice of law. Trial was by Maine Supreme Judicial Court Justice Ellen Gorman. The Maine Attorney General’s Office under Attorney General Janet Mills (Co-founder of Maine’s Women’s Lobby) represented Kellett. The Assistant Attorney General representing Kellett and Counsel for the Bar agreed that Kellett would admit to violating bar rules thereby negating a full-blown public hearing.
Kellett apologized, “I want to acknowledge that I made errors in the prosecution of the Filler case. I regret the harm that my errors caused.” Justice Gorman suspended her for 30 days, and then suspended the suspension.
Inexplicably, absent any explanation, Justice Gorman found that Kellett “did not intentionally attempt to violate Bar Rules or Vladek’s rights.” Yet, Justice Gorman’s findings clearly show an opposite fact pattern. Kellett’s “mistakes” had to be deliberate. Either that, or ten-year prosecutor Kellett was incompetent and married to idea that all woman alleging sexual assault, no matter how crazy and unreliable, are the victim, even if it means sending innocent men, the true victims, to prison. It appears Justice Gorman gave Kellett another get out of jail free card to help protect her Bar card; and, perhaps, to shut the lid on an overflow of judicial dirty laundry. (See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pf0nZRn3B8)
That same video reports an involved attorney saying, “it’s the first mistake she’s [Kellett] made in a career prosecuting more than 10,000 criminal cases. The same, or another attorney, which is not clear, said, “[D]uring the ten-plus years that she’s worked as a prosecutor she’s been a faithful and dedicated public servant.” Nonetheless, a random sampling of Kellett’s 10,000 cases will show more “mistakes” [sic]. In fact, enough reason exists to believe such mistakes may show a pattern of inexcusable prosecutorial misconduct resulting in wrongful convictions and the destruction of more innocent men. If making such “mistakes” is what makes a faithful and dedicated public servant, we need a serious rewrite of the job description…
Throughout Vladek’s persecution, District Attorney Carletta M. Bassano, did nothing to prevent Kellett’s pummeling of Vladek, in fact, she had to have insisted on it. Vladek’s ordeal revealed Bassano’s office swept up a dozen of so other men whose situations were similar to Vladek’s, which could only happen under the watchful eyes of boss Bassano. Even after Kellett’s suspended suspension, Bassano’s office continued Vladek’s persecution eking out a misdemeanor conviction.
Vladek appealed. Superior Court Justice Robert Murray, also the presiding judge at Filler’s second trial, vacated the conviction thereby clearing Vladek of all charges, including those he suffered before the misdemeanor conviction. Consequently, Vladek has no criminal record, as it was before Kellett and Bassano.
He won! Vladek caused the first trial of a corrupt Assistant District Attorney in Maine and took feminist jurisprudence to the woodshed for some serious schooling. He even brought down DA Bassano who chose not to run for reelection. Vladek successfully used the law to reveal the truth, serve up justice and change how a criminal justice system did business. Incredible.
To our knowledge, Kellett never missed a day’s pay from the day the Board of Overseers recommended suspension to the day Justice Gorman mocked her own court by suspending Kellett’s suspension. Kellett went unpunished and is reportedly now in private practice.
Year after year local media stories painted Vladek a serial abusing monster. Even video tapes of Vladek’s ex-wife raging at police and making murder threats did not cause the press to question the validity of her allegations, one irrational episode after another made good press, but bad reporting.
On May 15, 2015, Bill Trotter, Reporter for the Bangor Daily News, wrote a summary article, “Assault conviction vacated for former Maine man acquitted of raping wife.” Instead, why not something like, “Vladek Filler free after Hancock District Attorney’s office ten-year campaign of horrific persecution over false accusation of deranged wife;” which puts the guilt where it belongs, on the prosecutor and false accuser. Unfortunately, the press pretty much parrots the all-men-bad and all-women-good ideological drivel, which was glaringly obvious during Vladek’s persecution, and implied in Trotter’s title above, “man acquitted of raping…”
Trotter wrote, “But his legal battles are not over. Filler, 45, is suing more than a dozen people in federal court over the matter, most of whom are prosecutors or police officers who were directly or indirectly involved in the criminal case against him.” It will be hard for Trotter and other reporters not to report on those cases, except perhaps if they favor Vladek.
Vladek’s epic journey is no less arduous than the millions of immigrants who risk life and limb coming to America for freedom, opportunity, and above all perhaps, justice. His story is the story of determination, a commitment — a demand — that prosecutorial tyranny, surrender to the honest administration of the criminal justice process and fundamental constitutional protections.
Elitist feminist driven judicial tyranny intentionally destroys tens of thousands of American males every year, most of whom lack the strength, support, resources, and determination to survive the system. Gaining significant control of the judicial system was a huge victory for elitist feminism and a tragic loss for humankind.
Vladek and Tatyana rose above it, battered, bruised, and victorious, true heroes they will forever stand. Unfortunately, their saga firmly establishes guilty until proven innocent applies. Kellett, Ligia and maybe even Bassano belong in prison, and might be if they had penises. We trust Vladek’s federal lawsuit will be the ruination of the true bad actors.
NCFM played a small part in this saga, through which, I became privileged to befriend some of the best people on the planet.

As did the Men's Rights Blog. We too have been on this since beginning and we've seen a lot of courage from Vladek Filler and Tatyana Roberts endured a hell that lasted for years. The prosecutors office is a powerful one. One that must be used only for genuine criminal cases. When it is perverted for political or personal gain it is a tool of persecution and oppression. Kellet escapes justice but perhaps poetic justice will visit Kellet real soon. Vladek Filler has demonstrated that you don't have to sit back and accept oppression. That you can fight back and for that we congratulated him.

The Vladek Filler saga comes to an end
Vladek Filler wins again
May 1, 2015 By Robert Franklin
At last, Vladek Filler is a free man. Oh, he’s been “free,” as in “no longer in jail,” for over two years. But when I say “free,” I mean free of all the consequences of the vendetta waged against him by his ex-wife and a shamefully corrupt Ellsworth, Maine prosecutor’s office that stopped at nothing to railroad an innocent man.
That man, Vladek Filler, has always been factually innocent, but now he’s officially, legally so. A state appeals court quashed his conviction of assault, the only prize former District Attorney Carletta Bossano’s office had to show for its relentless hounding of him.
It all started some eight years ago when, in the midst of their divorce and child custody fight, Vladek’s wife, Ligia Filler, claimed that he had raped her. Despite the fact that he had no police record, that the claim occurred during a child custody battle and that Ligia Filler was obviously emotionally unstable, Assistant District Attorney, Mary Kellett pursued the case against Filler with a zeal borne, not of a desire for justice, but of a desire for blood.
Kellett’s behavior in Filler’s case was not merely morally and ethically wrong, although it was both those things. It apparently was the product of her blind faith in the notion that women never lie about rape. I say that because of the multiple other rape and sexual assault cases prosecuted by Kellett that were either overturned on appeal or that she lost outright. Most prosecutors have a sense of when to charge a case, when to take one to trial and when an accused is probably innocent. Kellett seems to have had no such sense, at least when it came to sexual assault charges.
Otherwise, why did she not offer Vladek the dismissal the facts of his case so clearly warranted? Put simply, all Kellett had was the word of a woman who had every reason to lie and on whose behalf there was literally no evidence. Most prosecutors can see such a case for what it is — a sure loser.
Not only that, but the family court judge that viewed the same evidence Kellett did gave primary custody to Vladek, not his wife. How likely is it that a family court judge would place children with a father if the judge had the slightest inkling that the father might have done what his wife claimed? Without a doubt, that judge saw the truth — an emotionally disabled mother making wild, unsubstantiated charges against her husband for the sole purpose of keeping him out of his children’s lives.
Mary Kellett didn’t care. She knew, as few others did, that she would violate any rule of prosecutorial ethics and criminal procedure in order to put an innocent man in prison. And she almost succeeded. Filler was at first convicted, but the very judge who heard his trial for rape overturned the conviction on — of course — the grounds of prosecutorial misconduct.
But Kellett wasn’t finished. Ligia also claimed that Vladek had tossed water on her during an argument. Now, most prosecutors wouldn’t waste their time on such a trivial matter, particularly since, once again, there was no evidence that Vladek had done any such thing. But again, he was convicted, and again it was due to Kellett’s misconduct. Filler served 21 days in jail.
It is that conviction that the appellate court overturned on April 24th. It too was the product of Kellett’s many ethical violations.
But Filler is not a man to allow injustice to run free in the streets. Not content with complete vindication of all his actions by courts of law, he took on the District Attorney’s Office and Mary Kellett specifically, filing a grievance against her for her blatant wrongdoing.
He won that one too. Mary Kellett now has the distinction of being the only prosecutor in the history of the state to have been suspended from the practice of law due to her ethical violations while in the service of the people of the county.
But even that isn’t the end of the story. In last year’s election, DA Bossano was ousted from office due in no small part to her failure to oversee the corrupt behavior of her subordinate, Kellett.
In short, Vladek Filler’s story is that of a lone man standing up to a system of criminal prosecution that was all too used to running roughshod over men accused of sexual assault. What Mary Kellett did in Filler’s case are the actions of a lawyer to whom it never occurs that there might be adverse consequences to her violations of law. Almost certainly, she’d done similar things countless times before and was astonished when one person stood up and shouted “Halt!”
Mary Kellett is now out of a job and has a black mark on her record as an attorney.
If this had been an NBA championship series, Vladek Filler would have swept the opposition. Eight years later, he has his children and his criminal record is unblemished. He is indeed a free man.
What he doesn’t have, though, is his good name. Oh, the people who know him admire him and he has the love of his children and the avid support of his sister who did yeoman service on his behalf throughout his legal ordeal.
But the same Maine news media that were all too eager to shout from the rooftops allegations made against him, that reported his convictions, that unquestioningly channeled Ligia’s false claims and Kellett’s false statements about the case have suddenly gone quiet. Yes, those who were happy to convict an innocent man in their own court — that of public opinion — don’t care to report the fact that, at long last, he’s not guilty of the offenses charged. So far, not a word of his exoneration has been reported in the local or state news media.
In its own way, that’s every bit as shameful as Mary Kellett’s illegal, immoral and unethical conduct.
But in the end, Vladek Filler is the last man standing. For eight years, he stood against the enormous power of the state criminal justice system and won. That’s something for every reader of this blog to ponder. Vladek Filler’s grit and determination have been rewarded. Maybe yours can be as well.
And perhaps best of all, there are two kids (no longer little) down in Georgia who have a father they can look up to. They too can learn a thing or two about the power of being right and not backing down. Those kids may not yet realize it, but they’ve got a dad whose example will serve them all their lives.

This is great. I've been following this from the beginning and now I'm glad it has been concluded. This is a solid MRA victory. This is one we should be proud of. We were pushed around and now we are pushing back. We weren't nice about things we were militant and we accomplished a successful pushback. Thank you to all those involved. For all those did the work and activism know that your work has paid off and that not only is Vladek Filler a free man Mary N. Kellett is a disbarred disgraced feminist former attorney who found out the hard way that you don't fuck with MRA's. We gave feminists an asswhopping they won't soon forget.

What he doesn’t have, though, is his good name. Oh, the people who know him admire him and he has the love of his children and the avid support of his sister who did yeoman service on his behalf throughout his legal ordeal.
But the same Maine news media that were all too eager to shout from the rooftops allegations made against him, that reported his convictions, that unquestioningly channeled Ligia’s false claims and Kellett’s false statements about the case have suddenly gone quiet. Yes, those who were happy to convict an innocent man in their own court — that of public opinion — don’t care to report the fact that, at long last, he’s not guilty of the offenses charged. So far, not a word of his exoneration has been reported in the local or state news media.
In its own way, that’s every bit as shameful as Mary Kellett’s illegal, immoral and unethical conduct.
But in the end, Vladek Filler is the last man standing. For eight years, he stood against the enormous power of the state criminal justice system and won. That’s something for every reader of this blog to ponder. Vladek Filler’s grit and determination have been rewarded. Maybe yours can be as well.
And perhaps best of all, there are two kids (no longer little) down in Georgia who have a father they can look up to. They too can learn a thing or two about the power of being right and not backing down. Those kids may not yet realize it, but they’ve got a dad whose example will serve them all their lives.

This is great. I've been following this from the beginning and now I'm glad it has been concluded. This is a solid MRA victory. This is one we should be proud of. We were pushed around and now we are pushing back. We weren't nice about things we were militant and we accomplished a successful pushback. Thank you to all those involved. For all those did the work and activism know that your work has paid off and that not only is Vladek Filler a free man Mary N. Kellett is a disbarred disgraced feminist former attorney who found out the hard way that you don't fuck with MRA's. We gave feminists an asswhopping they won't soon forget.

Help clean house in Maine,getting rid of Kellett
Prosecutor Mary Kellett Needs Your Help — To Leave Her Job
March 18, 2014 By Paul Elam
AVFM does not endorse any political party or specific candidate. We do, however, endorse the general welfare of men and boys. In that spirit, it is time to show prosecutors Mary Kellett, Carletta Bassano, Paul Cavanaugh, and William Entwisle the door.
Permanently.
Mary Kellett’s district attorney’s office in Ellsworth, Maine, which controls both Hancock and Washington counties, is up for reelection. It appears after more than 30 years of terrorizing the community with selective and corrupt prosecutions, the Kellett gang is faced with a community that wants change and opposition that smells blood in the water.
The Vladek Filler affair was a watershed moment which neither Kellett, nor Bassano, nor the community in Maine can ignore.
Last year, following years of prosecuting Vladek Filler and scores of other innocent men, Mary Kellett finally earned the distinction of being the first prosecutor in Maine history to be found guilty of and sanctioned for misconduct. Her consequences for withholding evidence of Filler’s innocence, ignoring court orders and instructing police to violate defense subpoenas for exculpatory evidence only resulted in a 30 day suspension – which was suspended. It is paltry punishment on the surface, but a devastating career blow just the same.
The Maine Supreme Court Judge Ellen Gorman accepted Kellett’s plea deal with the Bar Counsel and stated:
“This is a serious sanction…It is a sanction that will continue to follow Ms. Kellett for the rest of her life. Should she decide or be asked to leave the prosecutors office, it would hamper, if not completely preclude, her ability to find practice outside of a prosecutors office.”
In other words, Kellett is now damaged goods, untenable for private practice but still allowed to continue her spree of malfeasance from the Ellsworth DA office. Her supervisor, DA Carletta Bassano, sees nothing wrong with Kellett and told the local newspaper, “I have full confidence in Mary, her judgment and the performance of her responsibilities.”
That confidence is what assisted Mary Kellett all the way to the State Supreme Court for sanctions by enabling her to act so brazenly with the power of here office. It is the confidence produced by a culture of corruption in the Ellsworth DA’s office.
Today they want that to continue by cornering the District Attorney’s election.
Enter ADA Paul Cavanaugh. Yeah, the same Paul Cavanaugh who continued to legally harass Filler in Mary Kellett’s stead.
A Voice For Men on the Kellett situation
The second candidate is Kellett’s office buddy, assistant district attorney William Entwisle, who is running as a Democrat with hopes of “continuing the work that the District Attorney’s Office has been doing.” He boasts of being a board member of a local VAWA funded group, “Next Step DV Project.”
Bangor Daily News on Entwisle
It is interesting to note that Kellett’s and Bassano’s office employs 28 people — of which only 3 are men, and two of them are now running to perpetuate the insiders club that has already run amok.
One is running as a Republican and one as a Democrat.
They are not, however, alone in the race.
Matthew Foster is an Ellsworth Maine defense attorney who came close to beating Carletta Bassano in the 2010 election. It is unknown what he plans to do to clean up that corrupt DA office or whether he will be willing to fire or prosecute Mary Kellett, but it is clear he is willing to call out deceptions from the office.

If Mary Kellett has a political enemy, it is a former prosecutor and local defense attorney Steve Juskowitch. He ran against Carletta Bassano and her predecessor, the notorious Boss Hog of Hancock County, former DA Michael Povich. Povich was the longtime DA who made Carletta Bassano, Paul Cavanaugh, and Mary Kellett what they are today. Against tough odds, Juskewitch ran again and again in hopes of removing both Povich and his crew from office. He previously ran as a Republican and Independent, but is currently running as a Democrat for reasons that make sense to him.
It is also noteworthy that for a long time Juskewitch has been defending Kellett’s victims and speaking out against Kellett’s office for their unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial discretion. He was the only Ellsworth attorney who showed up to speak out as a press conference held by SAVE at Vladek Filler’s hearing:

More about Steve Juskewitch can be found on his website:here
The publicity surrounding the Filler case has changed the political climate in the Bar Harbor area. For the first time in 35 years, the control enjoyed in two counties by the clan of Povich prosecutors is no longer assured.
Currently Filler is currently going through an uncommon proceeding called a Post Conviction Review. He is challenging his misdemeanor conviction on the grounds of prosecutorial misconduct by Mary Kellett and Paul Cavanaugh, and he has a case. The people of Ellsworth Maine may have had enough.
The Primary Elections will be held on June 10.
A Voice For Men intends to follow the Primary and general election very closely and strongly encourages everyone to speak out against the corrupt practices of the current prosecutor’s and voice their support for Matt Foster and Steve Juskewitch for the Primary elections.

Oh, and if you live in the area as a registered voter, you now have options in two different political parties. Take your pick.
Does this guarantee that there will never be unfair prosecutions in Ellsworth, Maine again? In short, of course not. Votes for Cavenaugh or Entwistle, however, are guaranteed to roll snake eyes. More of the same crew, more of the same corruption.

U.S. Senate candidate goes through misandric system
Maine Senate GOP Challenger: Domestic Violence Conviction Shows Integrity
Daniel Strauss – January 3, 2014, 2:15 PM EST12827
A conservative candidate running against Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) in the Republican primary argued that his decision to fight his domestic violence conviction in court showed his integrity.
The candidate, Erick Bennett, a consultant in Portland who worked on the anti-marriage equality push in 2012, made the argument Monday at a press conference. He discussed his Senate campaign, his time serving for Maine Gov. Paul LePage's (R) campaign in 2010 and his domestic violence conviction.
"The fact that I have been jailed repeatedly for not agreeing to admit to something I didn’t do should speak to the fact of how much guts and integrity I have," Bennett said. "I've noticed some people questioning that."
In 2003 Bennett was convicted of attacking his then-wife. A district court convicted him of Class D Assault. Bennett fought the conviction but in 2004 a Maine Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the lower court "sufficient evidence does exist in the record to support his conviction," according to the Bangor Daily News. At the press conference Bennett stressed his innocence.
Bennett went on to say that that his time in jail demonstrates how much character he has.
"If I go to D.C., I'm going to have that same integrity in doing what I say, and saying what I do, when it comes to protecting people's rights, as well as their pocketbooks," Bennett continued, according to the Daily News.

Corruption in Maine
From A Voice For Men:
J. Scott Davis takes a dive for Kellett
THE CASE OF VLADEK FILLER COMES BEFORE THE BAR WITH ALL SIDES TRYING TO SINK IT. As many of you who have been following the case of Vladek Filler are aware, he was released from jail recently, three days short of having to complete a 21 day sentence for assault. Filler was convicted for assaulting his former wife, Ligia Filler, in a case that had received a great deal of public attention due to the unusual conduct of the prosecutor in the case, Ellsworth, Maine Assistant District Attorney Mary Kellett.
After one conviction against Filler for sexual assault was overturned due to prosecutorial misconduct on the part of Kellett, Filler filed a bar complaint against her for a number of irregularities in her actions, including, but not nearly limited to, making misleading statements to the jury, withholding exculpatory evidence and instructing police officials to not comply with subpoenas issued by the court.
Bar Counsel J. Scott Davis conducted an investigation on Fillers complaint, found there was probable cause to conduct a disciplinary hearing which could result in Kellett’s disbarment and referred the case to the Maine Bar of Overseers of the Bar with that recommendation. A hearing was conducted, but not concluded, on October 22 & 23. Both hearing days ran over the time allotment and the three member bar panel opted to give each side in the case 21 days to submit final arguments in writing.
On the surface it would seem that the wheels of justice are finally turning on this case, but an examination of the conduct of Bar Counsel Davis, information from witnesses to the hearing, and, importantly the first public examination of Vladek Filler’s original bar complaint, portray something different. What you are about to read is markedly different than what has been presented by the local media in Maine, and paints a chilling picture of conspiracy and corruption permeating the local legal establishment.
It adds yet another bizarre chapter in Vladek Filler’s saga with the Ellsworth District Attorney’s Office, which includes prosecution on frivolous charges, prosecutorial misconduct, efforts by that office to gag AVFM and other publications from reporting on the case, ADA Paul Cavenaugh harassing Vladek Fillers medical providers – undermining his medical care, Filler’s strategic incarceration to coincide with the bar hearing against Kellett, a State Deputy Attorney General sent to Kellett’s defense, and Judge Robert E. Murray calculatedly refusing to rule on Filler’s request to recognize new counsel, ensuring Filler would be jailed with no representation while the hearing was conducted.
From the time of Vladek Filler’s first arrest to the writing of this article, this story has more smoking guns than a Quentin Tarantino movie. And it appears that the upcoming ruling by the bar panel is just as scripted as anything you would see from Hollywood.
This particular episode has a flashpoint; two minutes of what was essentially a very tense standoff between Filler and all else involved in the last moments of the hearing. The Ellsworth American, who had a reporter at the hearing, reported it this way:
The panel allowed Filler, who testified on Monday, to take the stand again Tuesday at the close of the hearing. This was done at the objection of Lupton [Kellett’s attorney], who said Filler should make any arguments through the bar counsel. Both panel Chairman M. Ray Bradford and Lupton chastised Filler for straying off topic and not answering directly during his earlier testimony. Bradford allowed him two minutes. He didn’t get the full time; Bradford had to rein him in again, bringing the hearing to an uneasy close.
If you believe the Ellsworth American’s account of events at the hearing, or most any other local media source, we have an impulsive, uncontrolled Vladek Filler, contemptuously disregarding instructions of the Panel and unable or unwilling to directly answer questions.
However, a closer examination of the conduct of Bar Counsel J. Scott Davis paint a different picture of those short two minutes; that of a Vladek Filler quickly and assertively taking action because Davis, the man who was representing his case against Kellett, was taking a dive.
Bradford had to rein Filler in, for sure, but not because he was out of control. He had to rein him in because Filler was using his two minutes to get every issue Davis failed to raise at the hearing on the record. The effort to prevent Filler from getting this information on the record appears to be as much or more the actions of Davis as it does Bradford.
Comparing the original Bar complaint to what Davis later chose to charge Kellett with in his Petition shows how grossly watered down the charges ended up being. This Petition was filed by Davis after Filler spent some 8 hours on the phone with him outlining the case and providing Davis with precise transcripts, documents, and numerous audio recordings showing the full extent of Kellett’s misconduct.
Kellett’s misconduct that was documented in Filler’s complaint, but Bar Counsel Davis did not pursue:
Withholding exculpatory videotaped interview for over one year in order to bring fraudulent indictment for sexual assault which was not provable.
Covered up exculpatory evidence and gained numerous discovery rulings blocking defense from vital facts and evidence. If the video tape had been provided prior to all those hearings, it would have allowed the defense to obtain very different rulings
Kellett and her assistant, Detective Stephen McFarland, submitted into discovery Ligia Filler’s select and mistranslated e-mails, after having Ligia Filler select only the ones that weren’t harmful to the case;
Submitted some 80 pages of falsified pornography print outs that did not come from the family’s computer, after the crime lab found no pornography and the computer investigator concluded Filler’s computer was clean. The trial judge eventually threw out the fabricated evidence, but took no action on Kellett;
Kellett’s assistant, on videotape, refused to allow Ligia Filler to give him her medical records release because they didn’t want to provide them to defense;
Kellett, on the record, lied to one Superior Court judge and asserted a privilege over Ligia Filler’s private records (illegal and against Ligia Filler’s wishes on video tape) in order to block those vital medical, examination, and psychiatric records from being released to defense;
Kellett, on the record, lied to the trial judge stating she desperately tried to get these “extraordinarily important” medical records released to defense and even considered filing separate requests with the court for Ligia Filler’s records, but the court denied them to her and to defense. She had in reality asked the court not to release them;
Kellett told John Lorenz, Ph.D., the children’s Guardian Ad Litem, that she had a journal written by Ligia Filler describing sexual abuse by Vladek Filler and lobbied the GAL to accept that women don’t lie about rape and to allow Ligia Filler (a documented child abuser) to gain custody of the children. This journal story troubled the GAL so much that he contacted Filler and his attorney Dan Pileggi. Pileggi met with Kellett’s own investigator, Det. Stephen McFarland, who then informed him that the journal didn’t exist.
This is not a complete summary of Kellett’s misconduct, but a sample. The details of these and other incidents of Kellett’s corrupt actions are outlined and documented in Filler’s original complaint to the Bar, available for download at the bottom of this page. Davis chose to pursue only those elements of the case most conducive to a favorable outcome for Kellett.
Bar Counsel Davis also engaged in some very questionable conduct in his gathering of testimony from witnesses on the matters he did choose to pursue.
Regarding the charge that Mary Kellett did not comply with requests and a Discovery Court Order for Ligia Filler’s important April 11, 2007 written witness statement to Ellsworth Police, Ligia Filler’s 911 recordings of April 22 and 24, 2007, Ligia Filler’s psychotic incident of April 24, 2007 video taped by the Washington County Sheriff’s Deputy, and discovery records from Gouldsboro Police:
Bar Counsel did not call any police officers who were involved to testify. Those who appeared to testify for Kellett were not properly questioned about the evidence they had in their possession, such as withheld video recordings which were ordered for production
Bar Counsel allowed a full day of Kellett’s witnesses to claim there were technical problems with production of video/audio recordings, when in fact the police officers admitted these recordings were made, did exist, were under Kellett’s control or available to her, but were not provided to defense by Kellett as court ordered;
Bar Counsel allowed Kellett and her witnesses to claim, without objection, that there were not specific requests for Ligia Filler’s written statements to the Ellworth Police Department. These statements were vital proof of Ligia Filler’s lying about being abused by Vladek Filler. They were explicitly requested in writing from Kellett, were Motioned for by defense, and were court ordered. However, Bar Counsel failed to point out to the Panel that statements by Kellett and her witnesses were inaccurate;
When Filler used part of his two minutes to begin reading the explicit request by Pileggi for these records (which were later Ordered for production), both AGG Lupton and Bar Counsel Davis began yelling at Filler to stop and not to read the discovery request (Filler ignored them and read it in to the record);
Bar Counsel did not present Vladek Filler’s audio recordings of phone conversations with two police officers from two different departments who were prevented by Kellett from releasing discovery records and recordings;
While being yelled at Filler, in the two minutes of allowed testimony, quickly detailed how vital those recordings are, how he was told by one officer at a hearing that the records that were promised were ordered by Kellett from production, and how it is vital for the Panel Members to listen to those phone recordings which Bar Counsel did not play for the Panel. They agreed to listen to them after the disciplinary hearing;
Bar Counsel played a small portion of 911 calls by Ligia Filler (and her daughter) which was requested and ordered but not provided by Kellett. The recording he played is of disturbed sounding Ligia Filler crying and asking the 911 operator to help her find an unknown cat. What the Bar Counsel didn’t play was Ligia Filler’s numerous other 911 calls in that series with her making allegations and urging police to take custody of the couples 10 year old son from Vladek Filler;
The recordings also contained Ligia Filler’s daughter Natasha calling 911 about her mother being “crazy” and on her way to her step father’s house after not sleeping for days, and of her mother “waiting” to get Vladek Filler criminally charged and convicted in order to force her brother into her custody. This series of recordings were not provided by Kellett in violation of discovery requests and a court order. But the Bar Counsel only played the missing cat part of the 911 recording for the Panel to suggest that’s all the recordings contained;
Bar Counsel allowed Kellett to testify, without challenge, that she never told a Gouldsboro Police officer to withhold evidence from Vladek Filler and not comply with his subpoena.
Filler pointed out that this contradicted what Kellett told the Bar Counsel in her written reply to the Bar Complaint. Members of the The Panel evidenced some concern at this. One member asked “Where is Vladek Filler’s original complaint?” It turned out that Bar Counsel Davis had not provided The Panel a copy of the original complaint or the rebuttal material and exhibits. Filler insisted on and got into evidence all of his complaint filings and Kellett’s replies. The Bar Counsel, however, persuaded the Panel not to view Filler’s numerous document exhibits which were attached to the complaints.
Filler is currently petitioning the Panel to allow him to directly submit his own closing argument in writing in this case, as opposed to going through Davis, but so far has not received a reply.
The Bar Panel has four basic options available in order to dispose of this case. One, they can find that Kellett did not violate bar rules and dismiss the complaint. They can dismiss the complaint with a warning to Kellett. They can publicly reprimand Kellett. Or, finally, they can recommend to the Law Court that Kellett be suspended or disbarred.
If they recommend to the Law Court that Kellett be suspended or disbarred, then the case goes to the Supreme Court for a full trial outside the probable sphere of influence of the Ellsworth Prosecutor’s Office. If that happens, justice has a shot.
We are estimating here in advance that this is not likely. With Bar Counsel J. Scott Davis virtually working as co-counsel for the defense with Lupton, and the facts of this case having such a hard time making it into the view of the Bar Panel, the fix appears as though it is comfortably in.
What we have here is a dog and pony show designed to show the world that the State of Maine actually does self-police of its state functionaries, without, of course, doing any real self-policing. It’s a stage production designed to counter the well-deserved scrutiny that the actions of prosecutors like Kellett have engendered from a public that is starting to wake up to the fact that something is rotten in that state and it’s not the lobster rolls.
They will more likely than not slap Kellett on the wrist and close the curtain on the matter so she can get back to terrorizing the citizens of Ellsworth for the VAWA funds without interruption.
The only hope that this matter will be forced into the hands of real justice came from Vladek Filler, who, while incarcerated, bullied, threatened and ridiculed, stood up for two minutes and refused to be silenced while he forced the Panel to accept into evidence what everyone else involved with the case has sought to exclude.
They now have that evidence, and everyone knows it. You have that evidence, too. It is just a click away.
And so now the hope, the spark of life that Vladek Filler bravely kept alive is in our hands. In your hands. And the only thing that will extinguish that small ray of light now is if we choose to fall silent before this unconscionable injustice.

He didn’t get the full time; Bradford had to rein him in again, bringing the hearing to an uneasy close.
If you believe the Ellsworth American’s account of events at the hearing, or most any other local media source, we have an impulsive, uncontrolled Vladek Filler, contemptuously disregarding instructions of the Panel and unable or unwilling to directly answer questions.
However, a closer examination of the conduct of Bar Counsel J. Scott Davis paint a different picture of those short two minutes; that of a Vladek Filler quickly and assertively taking action because Davis, the man who was representing his case against Kellett, was taking a dive.
Bradford had to rein Filler in, for sure, but not because he was out of control. He had to rein him in because Filler was using his two minutes to get every issue Davis failed to raise at the hearing on the record. The effort to prevent Filler from getting this information on the record appears to be as much or more the actions of Davis as it does Bradford.
Comparing the original Bar complaint to what Davis later chose to charge Kellett with in his Petition shows how grossly watered down the charges ended up being. This Petition was filed by Davis after Filler spent some 8 hours on the phone with him outlining the case and providing Davis with precise transcripts, documents, and numerous audio recordings showing the full extent of Kellett’s misconduct.
Kellett’s misconduct that was documented in Filler’s complaint, but Bar Counsel Davis did not pursue:
This is not a complete summary of Kellett’s misconduct, but a sample. The details of these and other incidents of Kellett’s corrupt actions are outlined and documented in Filler’s original complaint to the Bar, available for download at the bottom of this page. Davis chose to pursue only those elements of the case most conducive to a favorable outcome for Kellett.
Bar Counsel Davis also engaged in some very questionable conduct in his gathering of testimony from witnesses on the matters he did choose to pursue.
Regarding the charge that Mary Kellett did not comply with requests and a Discovery Court Order for Ligia Filler’s important April 11, 2007 written witness statement to Ellsworth Police, Ligia Filler’s 911 recordings of April 22 and 24, 2007, Ligia Filler’s psychotic incident of April 24, 2007 video taped by the Washington County Sheriff’s Deputy, and discovery records from Gouldsboro Police:
Filler pointed out that this contradicted what Kellett told the Bar Counsel in her written reply to the Bar Complaint. Members of the The Panel evidenced some concern at this. One member asked “Where is Vladek Filler’s original complaint?” It turned out that Bar Counsel Davis had not provided The Panel a copy of the original complaint or the rebuttal material and exhibits. Filler insisted on and got into evidence all of his complaint filings and Kellett’s replies. The Bar Counsel, however, persuaded the Panel not to view Filler’s numerous document exhibits which were attached to the complaints.
Filler is currently petitioning the Panel to allow him to directly submit his own closing argument in writing in this case, as opposed to going through Davis, but so far has not received a reply.
The Bar Panel has four basic options available in order to dispose of this case. One, they can find that Kellett did not violate bar rules and dismiss the complaint. They can dismiss the complaint with a warning to Kellett. They can publicly reprimand Kellett. Or, finally, they can recommend to the Law Court that Kellett be suspended or disbarred.
If they recommend to the Law Court that Kellett be suspended or disbarred, then the case goes to the Supreme Court for a full trial outside the probable sphere of influence of the Ellsworth Prosecutor’s Office. If that happens, justice has a shot.
We are estimating here in advance that this is not likely. With Bar Counsel J. Scott Davis virtually working as co-counsel for the defense with Lupton, and the facts of this case having such a hard time making it into the view of the Bar Panel, the fix appears as though it is comfortably in.
What we have here is a dog and pony show designed to show the world that the State of Maine actually does self-police of its state functionaries, without, of course, doing any real self-policing. It’s a stage production designed to counter the well-deserved scrutiny that the actions of prosecutors like Kellett have engendered from a public that is starting to wake up to the fact that something is rotten in that state and it’s not the lobster rolls.
They will more likely than not slap Kellett on the wrist and close the curtain on the matter so she can get back to terrorizing the citizens of Ellsworth for the VAWA funds without interruption.
The only hope that this matter will be forced into the hands of real justice came from Vladek Filler, who, while incarcerated, bullied, threatened and ridiculed, stood up for two minutes and refused to be silenced while he forced the Panel to accept into evidence what everyone else involved with the case has sought to exclude.
They now have that evidence, and everyone knows it. You have that evidence, too. It is just a click away.
And so now the hope, the spark of life that Vladek Filler bravely kept alive is in our hands. In your hands. And the only thing that will extinguish that small ray of light now is if we choose to fall silent before this unconscionable injustice.

Vladek Filler freed;boycott suspended
From A Voice For Men:
While few details are in, AVfM has just been advised that Vladek Filler is out of jail and has returned home to be with his two children and the rest of his family. We will post an update with more details when more information is available.

Tonight on AVFM News and Activism we will dedicate the guest portion of our show to covering current developments in the Vladek Filler case. Joining us will be Paul Elam and John the Other to talk about the abhorrent legal maneuverings of J. Scott Davis and what can only be described as an all encompassing ring of corruption in the family law justice system in the state of Maine. Now, more than ever, aggressive activism is needed to expose and put to an end the destructive reign of Mary Kellett and the band of cronies that make up the press and legal establishment in that state.
Please call in and voice your support for this effort and share your thoughts.
The show airs live on November 6trh, at 8:00 Central Time, US, which is 2:00 a.m. November 7th in London and 11:00 a.m. November 7th in Brisbane. If you have not yet requested membership in the Stickcam Room, you can do so through the link below.

Great news Vladek Filler has been freed. I guess we can ease up on the boycott as long as there is no further persecution of Vladek Filler. As long as he is allowed to hold public officials who abuse the offices they hold accountable and not be persecuted for doing so. So as long as Vladek Filler is allowed to testify and leave Maine unfettered then there is no problem. If the games against Vladek Filler continue I will reinstate the boycott but until then enjoy some Maine lobster.

Boycott all Maine products
I'm calling for a boycott of all Maine products and services. Whether it is produce.lobster,whatever we will not buy those products. Likewise we will not use services headquartered in Maine such as travel services. We will not contribute to increasing Maine's economy in anyway. DA Carletta Bassano has wrongfully imprisoned Vladek Filler to prevent him from testifying against the ADA,Mary N. Kellett, who knowing persecuted him when she knew for a fact he was innocent of the charges against him,at her disciplinary hearing. So while Vladek Filler is probably fighting other prisoners bribed to cause him trouble Mary N. Kellett is on vacation in parts unknown,living it up. So from here on there is a total boycott on all Maine products and services and hopefully a large depletion of the Maine economy. We will not end this boycott until Vladek Filler is released and giving immunity from further persecution in this case and all those who persecuted him brought to justice and justly incarcerated for a long time. It comes down to this: free an innocent man and give him the justice that is long overdue or watch the money in the economy deplete like the water draining from a bathtub. It's Maine's choice.
Let's also let the Maine Chamber of Commerce,this is the only way to send them email and Visit Maine,the Maine website for travel to that state know about our boycott.

Tell Governor LaPage to bring Kellett to justice
Today we're asking you to tell Maine governor Paul LePage that Asst. District Attorney Mary N. Kellett must be brought to justice. Last week we told you about a young father in Maine, Vladek Filler, and his five year persecution by Kellett.
In 2011, SAVE filed a Grievance Complaint[1] with the Board of Overseers of the Bar (BOB) demanding Kellet's disbarment. After their investigation, Bar Counsel J. Scott Davis in an 18-page Disciplinary Petition[2] charged that Kellett "has acted in a manner unworthy of an attorney," violated nine rules[3] of conduct, failed to provide defense with discovery, violated a court order, and instructed police officers not to cooperate with defense subpoenas. The BOB is expected to reschedule a cancelled disciplinary hearing against Kellett.
What do you think? Should Kellett be disbarred?
Tell Gov. LePage that Mary Kellett MUST be brought to justice!

Kellett brought up on disciplinary charges
Maine Bar Council recommends discipline for ADA Mary Kellett
April 13, 2012

FEATURED, NEWS UPDATES
(AVFM News) Washington D.C. Apr. 13, 2012 – Fathers and Families, a popular men and fathers rights group engaged in activism involving primarily the rights of fathers, reported on their website yesterday that Assistant District Attorney Mary Kellett of the Seventh Prosecutorial District of Maine was recommended for discipline by the Bar Council on April 6th. Bar Council J. Scott Davis handed down the recommendation which could result in anything from Kellett to getting disbarred to a criminal investigation.
Criminal,we definitely want criminal charges so let's roast her ovaries. If you are wondering why I'm taking this attitude I refer you to this.
It is unclear whether or not Maine has a provision for an independent prosecutor at this time as that would be the best way to secure criminal charges against Kellett. “Obviously, the District Attorney of Ellsworth likely won’t prosecute one of his/her own lawyers, but, if there’s an independent prosecutor statute, someone else can. They can and should.” Wrote Robert Franklin in his article on the Fathers and Families website.
Mary Kellett has been the target of activism from many different quarters including S.A.V.E., A Voice for Men, Fathers and Families and Antimisandry.com, who all participated in a petition signing drive to have her disbarred for the wrongful prosecution of Vladek Filler, a man falsely accused of rape by his unstable wife Ligia during a custody dispute. Kellett has been criticized heavily for disregarding the due rights of those accused of sexual assault crimes in her district and has a known record of convicting men who were strongly suspected of being innocent.
Among the abuses cited by the Bar Council are Kellett’s refusal to hand over evidence to Fillers attorney, Daniel Pileggi, the nature of which was extremely exculpatory. Pileggi eventually had to get the court to produce the evidence for him because of Kellett’s refusal to cooperate in a lawful manner.
Franklin calls upon others who have suffered at the hands of Kellett to file a grievance with the Bar Council.. AVFM News will be closely covering any developments.

It looks like all that activism paid off. When I saw that video that featured everyone from the governor to the legislature to everyone on down jump aboard the feminist bandwagon I had pretty much had given up any hope on men getting a fair break in Maine but hopefully that may not be the case. Let's see if justice prevails.

Boycott Maine products
If you haven't watched this video you are invited to do so. It is very shocking and has some troubling signs when half of humanity has their rights basically raped from them so that feminists don't have to suffer some imagined fear. Governor Tim LaPage has said that he came from an abusive enviroment and now he's getting even with daddy by painting all men with that broadbrush with "a lock em up and throw away the key along with their civil liberties and Constitutional rights" mentality. If misandry is going to be the official policy of the State of Maine then perhaps we should boycatt all Maine products and spread the word about the boycott.
JUST SAY NO TO MAINE PRODUCTS.

Das State of Maine
When Stephen King would depict parts of Maine as horrible I thought it was fiction. Now I know better.
Two words come to mind: collusion and conspiracy.
