Team Kellett pulls fast one

Found guilty of nine counts of prosecutorial misconduct--for hiding, destroying and suppressing evidence of innocence—Mary Kellett is the first prosecutor in the history of Maine to be referred to the State Supreme Court by the Maine Bar.

Sources state that she has arranged a plea bargain, and it looks like she's being given a pass.

In a move designed to keep the proceedings quiet and out of the public eye, the hearing has been set with little advance notice, three hours drive away from her home town and the people with the most interest in the case.

This sudden rush to make a backroom deal will do two things.

First, it will mean that Kellett will not face the full repercussions of her reprehensible conduct, as she will likely be pleading guilty to lesser or fewer charges in order to avoid facing trial for the charges brought by the Bar.

Second, it will deny Vladek Filler, and anyone else against whom Kellett used the same courtroom tactics their day in court. It will prevent the public from seeing the level of corruption involved in Mary Kellett's office.

In short, this deal is both a pass for Mary Kellett, and a cover-up of significant government corruption.

Maine’s Bar referred Kellett to the State Supreme Court after the Bar found her guilty of 9 counts of prosecutorial misconduct and conduct unbecoming an attorney. The original complaint that compelled the Bar to make this ruling against Kellett was her 2009 prosecution of Vladek Filler, during which Kellett withheld and concealed evidence in order to obtain a conviction.

Among other violations, the Disciplinary Panel found Kellett guilty of suppressing and not providing exculpatory evidence, and instructing law enforcement officers not to comply with valid subpoenas for evidence. Part of that charge involved destroying evidence. Kellett has blamed insubordination at the Washington County Sherriff's Department for the lapse. Deputy testimony contradicts her claim.

Kellett's hearing before Maine State Supreme Court Justice Ellen Gorman was set with as little advance notice as possible, for Monday, July 15, in Portland, Maine. This gives anyone with an interest in the case, including media and anyone impacted by Kellett's methods, little notice to attend the hearing.

The Violence Against Women Act contains grants to encourage mandatory arrest and prosecution policies, increased convictions, and harsher sentencing in cases where men are accused of violence against women. As a result, federal dollars are being made at the county level by railroading men like Vladeck Filler with false allegations and this kind of prosecutorial misconduct, all courtesy of feminist jurisprudence.

Kellett was able obtain a wrongful conviction against Vladeck Filler because he is a man. Now, she's being permitted to hide behind the same system she used against him. When the law contains incentives to increase convictions, with no safeguards to discourage malicious prosecution, corruption and tyranny is the inevitable result.
