Bradley made a comment previously about a case involving Robert L. Lamontagne who was convicted by a jury for a crime he didn’t commit. His comment should have been a blog post, and so I’ll post it here now. The important thing to remember about this case is Robert has maintained his innocence for close to 40 years and that the evidence relied upon to convict was sourced from a corrupt law enforcement officer.

Bradley’s not a libertarian, though taking up a worthy cause, and he’s a former law enforcement officer himself. Robert is not a libertarian either, but also pursuing a worthy cause of making the public aware of the injustices in the system. He has little to gain, and will at a minimum suffer from harassment for bringing his story to light.

Bardley’s comment emphases a systematic problem with our “justice system”. It convicts folks without sufficient evidence and with “evidence” that is tainted. When a jury hasn’t been made aware of an officer’s problematic history of telling lies those involved in failing to inform the defense should be criticized, arrested, and charged.

In this case the law enforcement officers whose testimony the jury relied on to convict was on the lorry list and should never have been used at trial. This was not revealed to the defendant and laws were broken by the prosecutor and law enforcement. This is not a story about a child rapist, but a story about a man wrongfully convicted based on tainted evidence who is himself a victim of the system. The law enforcement officer whose ethics are in question made a name for himself “protecting kids”, but in reality has gained notoriety by luring men into situations under false pretenses and then making false claims about their actions, intent, and/or circumstances.

Bradly’s comments:

A priority of Rob’s and mine at this point is having him properly identified as a “victim” of a crime under New Hampshire law. The NH “Victim’s Bill of Rights Act,” located at RSA 21-M:8-k affords an individual who has been victimized certain rights under the law.

Wait, Bradley… you say Rob should be identified as a victim? Yes. Yes, I do.

At least two people knew that Keene Police Department Detective James McLaughlin had “Laurie List” material on his record… and they never told Rob’s defense attorney. That would be Cheshire County Attorney Ed O’Brien and Detective McLaughlin himself.

That is a crime under New Hampshire law.

RSA 641:3 “Official Oppression” reads as follows:

“A public servant, as defined in RSA 640:2, II, is guilty of a misdemeanor if, with a purpose to benefit himself or another or to harm another, he knowingly commits an unauthorized act which purports to be an act of his office; or knowingly refrains from performing a duty imposed on him by law or clearly inherent in the nature of his office.”

By knowingly refraining to comply with a duty imposed on them by federal law (the “Brady” Supreme Court decision) that being properly disclosing exculpatory material, Detective McLaughlin and the County Attorney committed a crime.

As the crime they committed they’ve probably (I have no evidence of this… it just seems likely) committed many times by not turning that exculpatory would warrant enhanced sentencing under RSA 651:6 (I.) (a), the Victims Bill-of-Rights applies to Rob as a victim of an enhanced sentencing misdemeanor.

One could even further argue that by “concealing” this information Detective McLaughlin and County Attorney O’Brien were committing the “B” felony of “Falsifying Physical Evidence” found at RSA 641:6.

Either way… Rob’s trial was vile because his jury never had the opportunity properly weigh the evidence proffered by the lead investigator through the lens of his misconduct.

Now listen… I wasn’t a perfect police officer. I made lots of bonehead mistakes… and I was lucky to have cool bosses who tried to teach me to do better. In retrospect I wish I heeded much of the wisdom they tried to teach me at the age of 18 being a sworn officer.

All new cops screw up and do stupid shit.

This is different… this lead investigator had been disciplined for falsifying records. That offense has some purpose to it. What else is a guy capable of if he gets caught doing that? Technically that could have probably been charged as a felony… but as he had a badge, just a write up.

Rob’s jury should have known the guy they were trusting to slap leg irons on him for nearly a decade might not be so trustworthy. It is the jury, not the judge, who properly weighs the credibility of a witness.

I will properly report back on the status of this designation when a response is given to me by the proper authorities.

This comment is made pursuant to Part I, Article 10 of the New Hampshire Constitution and will be vigorously defended as such by any Committee who may try to call me out for calling this case out the way I see it.

My “client” Robert Lamontagne just forwarded me a disturbing voice message sent to him harassing him for the case we’re working on.  I find this to be quite juvenile.

First off, Rob maintains his complete innocence for the charges he was convicted of.  He’s been screaming this at the top of his lungs for many years.  So far I personally agree with him that it appears there are valid legal questions about the integrity of his conviction.  We’re investigating that now…  and that takes time.

Second off, even if he WAS truly guilty of what he was convicted of, he has completed the sentence that the government of the State of New Hampshire handed him.  His debt to society has been paid in full according to the State.

Continuing to harass him truly is unfair and could be criminal in itself.

I will forward to law enforcement any harassment Rob receives from today forward.

Please be kind.

It is a bit ridiculous that I have to do this…  but here is my “Demand Letter” to the Keene Police demanding they comply with NH RSA 91-A.  The next step is filing a formal lawsuit against the City of Keene in the Cheshire County Superior Court.

I know many of you who engage here at FreeKeene.com are skeptical of Mr. Lamontagne’s claims of innocence.  I’d like to think that even if you are one who is skeptical of Rob’s claims that you would agree that the KPD should be complying with state laws regarding public records.

A thorough review of what happened in his case is only possible if we can acquire these records.

UPDATE: 178 minutes after posting this blog and e-mailing the demand letter to Assistant County Attorney Tim Donovan I received the records that were requested.

The post House Gold Standard – March 13, 2025 appeared first on NH Liberty Alliance.

As I wrote in the last blog I published I am presently awaiting a records request that I made to the Keene, NH Police Department on 1/21/25.  That request was made in the form of a letter to the Keene Police Chief, Steve Stewart.

I received an email response from Assistant Cheshire County Attorney Tim Donovan on 1/24/25 that they were unable to locate the records I was seeking.  I reiterated in an email response that same day that I was looking for all department records that pertain to Mr. Robert Lamontagne.  On 1/27/25 Attorney Donovan responded that the request was being forwarded to the Keene Police Records Department for fulfilment.  Oddly, Attorney Donovan also responded that they were not treating my request as a “91-A” records request.

New Hampshire RSA 91-A is New Hampshire’s “Right-to-Know” law that requires that governmental entities respond promptly and provide most records when they are requested.  The law itself in section 91-A:4, IV. (b)(3) requires that the Keene Police provide a written statement of the time reasonably required to fulfill the records request if they cannot immediately provide the requested records.  By saying the government was not treating my records request as a “91-A” request, Attorney Donovan conveniently avoided having to tell me how long it would take to prepare Mr. Lamontagne’s records for release.

I reached back out to Attorney Donovan a month after the request on February 21, 2025 asking what the status of the records request.  I was told by Attorney Donovan that he personally had seen the Records Department working on my request but that he did not have any further information.

Frustrated, weeks later, I just recently reached back out to Attorney Donovan on March 8, 2025 with the following email:

Hi Attorney Donovan.

 

Having not heard back from you or the Keene Police Department Records Division I am compelled to ask you the following question:

Why did you (the government) decide not to treat the records request I made as a 91-A request?  What legal authority do you rely on for this?

I realize that I didn’t quote or reference 91-A in my letter to the Chief of Police, but given that 91-A is so well known in New Hampshire to be controlling for such requests it simply made sense to me that the Chief would perceive the request as such.

As you are most definitely aware, 91-A requests have codified timeframes associated with them.  According to RSA 91-A:4, IV. the government has five days to respond with an estimate of the necessary time needed to fulfil the request.  I received no estimate which in my view makes the City of Keene quite possibly in violation of the law.

Mr. Lamontagne and I have been very patient with this request due to the fact that his records might be extensive given the seriousness of the case he was involved in.  Our patience has been exhausted though as we are both determined to investigate his case and convictions to see if any post-sentence relief is warranted.

Given that the nature of the post-sentence investigation is circled around allegations of prosecutorial and investigative misconduct, Mr. Lamontagne and I can’t help but be suspicious as to what the real motivation is for not providing these records.

The last thing I really want to do is file a lawsuit against the City of Keene for failure to properly transact 91-A requests…  but I will if I have to.

If you could please give me some sort of explanation that I can provide to Mr. Lamontagne I would be very appreciative.

I hope we can resolve this without having to go to court.

Respectfully,

Bradley

After sending it, I realized I made an error in my email.  I actually *did* include a reference to RSA Chapter 91-A in my original letter to Keene Police Chief Stewart.  I actually had made it pretty clear that I was making an official 91-A request.

I inform you all of this update as it looks like I may have to file a lawsuit against the Keene Police Department to get the records I’m looking for to assist Rob with defending his case.  Quite frankly, the taxpayers of the City of Keene shouldn’t have to foot the bill to defend this as it is so blatantly obvious that the Keene Police are stalling with this request.

Think about it…  if it works out that a court agrees that Rob’s due process rights were actually violated by the State failing to disclose the lead investigators credibility issues (a “Brady” violation), think about all the other defendants out there who could challenge convictions obtained by Detective James McLaughlin where they too weren’t told that he was placed on the EES for quite literally falsifying records. Boy would that be costly and embarrassing for various government agencies if convictions began to fall.

It is my personal opinion that Keene Police Chief Stewart should have to personally pay to defend against me for most likely having to sue them for violating 91-A.

The Department should know better.

As many of you know I am not a licensed “Attorney-at-Law.”  I am, however, a former law enforcement officer with some legal experience who enjoys dabbling in legal work as a hobby to help others who find themselves in various legal predicaments.

I recently posted on the Shire Society Forum that I was interested in donating some of my free time to get involved in another legal case.  A gentleman named Robert “Rob” Lamontagne responded and asked me if I would help him with his legal situation.

Please meet Mr. Robert “Rob” Lamontagne

Rob was originally charged with three counts of Aggravated Felonious Sexual Assault in the late 80s and the charges were later changed to three counts of Endangering Welfare of a Minor or Incompetent in the Cheshire County Superior Court.  Rob was found guilty and was sentenced to nearly a decade in the New Hampshire State Prison.  He served his sentence but never once waivered in asserting his innocence to the charges he was accused of.  Since his release and as of recently the Innocence Project and Grafton County Attorney have been reviewing his case for potential violations of his constitutional rights.

Rob is a listener and occasional caller to Free Talk Live and has friends in the New Hampshire liberty community.  I have met Rob on more than one occasion and he has always struck me as a gentleman.

I now legally represent Mr. Lamontagne as his “Attorney-in-Fact.”  Though I don’t have the experience and training that a licensed Attorney may have I am going to do my best to investigate Rob’s case and fight for his position that his legal rights during his trial were violated.  From the outset it sounds to me that there was a potential “Brady” violation in that Rob’s defense attorney was never informed that the lead detective investigating his case had credibility issues.  Fairness, and the United States Supreme Court since 1963, have required that witnesses with credibility issues must be disclosed to a defendant.

As I always do, I will share with you what I find as I review his case and potentially file legal actions to defend him.  I welcome all of your feedback…  whether positive or negative.  I’m far from a pro at this stuff, but I’m willing to try to help people who ask for assistance.  I feel I become a better legal advocate with feedback from people like you.

I sent a letter to the Keene Police Department on January 21st of this year (2025) requesting all documents in their possession relating to Rob and his case.  Though we have not received these documents as of yet, Rob and I understand that this request may be tricky as not all documents may have been digitized.  I have been in contact with the cordial Keene Police prosecutor who has assured me that this records request is in the works.

Stay tuned for updates!
