ME Bar Counsel Recommends Discipline for ADA Mary N. Kellett

Maine State Bar has recommended that Assistant District Attorney Mary N. Kellett be disciplined for 9 counts of legal and ethical misconduct in her prosecution of Vladek Filler, a clearly innocent father accused by his ex-wife during custody proceedings of sexually abusing their daughter.

Despite the complete absence of evidence against him, ADA Mary Kellett not only prosecuted Filler, but violated numerous ethical codes, to get a conviction. This was overturned by the trial court due to her prosecutorial misconduct.

Kellett’s conduct of her prosecution of Vladek Filler was truly egregious. She refused to disclose evidence despite being requested to do so multiple times by Filler’s attorney. Vince Pileggi. This evidence would have cleared the accused. Worse, she told to get the records himself from the various police agencies that had possession of them. She then told the police to refuse to comply with Pileggi’s subpoenas.

Eventually, Pileggi got the court to order her to produce the documents, audio and videotapes, but Kellett simply ignored the order.

At trial, Kellett engaged in multiple acts of prosecutorial misconduct mostly involving her argument to the jury that was based on “facts” she hadn't put into evidence.

In short, Kellett abused her power to railroad an innocent into prison, deprive two children of their fine and loving father and place them in the hands of an unstable mother.

And it wasn't the first time, appellate courts have overturned convictions of men when allegations of sexual misconduct have been levelled at them by Kellett. Put simply, Kellett is a feminist loose cannon with a mission in life to put men behind bars for sexual offences - guilty or not.

This zealot cost taxpayers two trials, an appeal, an inquiry and likely more appeals & compensations for more falsely imprisoned victims.

It's unlikely the DA will prosecute one of his/her own lawyers, but, if there's an independent prosecutor statute, someone else can. They can and should.
