Ligia Filler getting coached on making her story seem real

Despite Supreme Court finding of prosecutorial misconduct and violation of Vladek Filler’s constitutional rights and District Court’s finding of insufficiency of evidence against Vladek Filler, Bar Harbor Maine prosecutor Mary Kellet, assisted by up to two additional State prosecutors, will retry Vladek Filler on May 23-26 in Ellsworth Superior Court, Ellsworth Maine.

A State with severe fiscal problems is pledging numerous prosecutors for a case which by some estimates will cost the State $1,000,000 or more just to punish this innocent father who won a legal precedent to protect the rights of all falsely accused father's and men in Maine.

Maine Supreme Judicial Court denied prosecutor Mary Kellett’s appeal and upheld the ruling for Vladek Filler to have a new trial. The Law Court cited just a few instances of prosecutorial misconduct sufficient to grant Vladek Filler a new trial, and further cited trial court’s abuse of discretion in allowing Mary Kellett to block custody battle evidence and proper cross examination of accuser Ligia Filler. During oral arguments prosecutor Mary Kellett lied to the Maine Supreme Court Justices and declared that nothing prevented Vladek Filler from introducing custody battle evidence at trial. However, the Supreme Court’s decision cited the trial record of Mary Kellett's motions and conduct denying Vladek Filler his Constitutional Right to present evidence central to his defense and even denying him the ability to impeach his accuser during cross-examination. Supreme Court did not grant an outright acquittal citing it to be the exclusive domain of a jury and reaffirmed that Maine Law allows accusations alone, even absent any physical evidence or witnesses, to be sufficient proof of a crime for which a conviction can be gained. The Law Court mentioned fraudulent trial testimony extracted by prosecutor Mary Kellett and a photograph of a bruise on Ligia Filler’s arm produced half a week after she abducted their toddler; a bruise the Police report specifically noted did not exist when Ligia Filler was first questioned days after the alleged incident. Much of this “evidence” was shown to be false in later proceedings; however the Supreme Court declined to take judicial notice of any subsequent facts which emerged outside the criminal trial record. The Law Court’s full analysis and decision can be found here.

Assistant district attorney Mary N. Kellett committed prosecutorial misconduct. After the ruling she continued to abuse her position using the State of Maine to file an appeal of her prosecutorial misconduct, writing the appeal herself, and then arguing the appeal herself before Maine Supreme Court as a representative for the State of Maine.

According to witnesses Mary Kellett misinformed the Supreme Court that there was no prosecutorial misconduct and nothing preventing Mr. Filler from using the bitter child custody battle with his accuser as a defense. Instead, she accused the defense attorney of failing to properly represent Mr. Filler.

Yet according to Filler's current attorney, records indicate Mary Kellett filed a pretrial motion demanding the court block all evidence of the accuser’s misconduct and child custody battle from the trial. The court granted Mary Kellett's motion and ordered evidence of all other court actions and accuser's misconduct to be kept out of Mr. Filler's trial. Afterwards, maybe most shocking of all given the arguments presented to the Supreme Court, this same prosecutor filed another motion praising the court's ruling to block custody battle evidence and urging the court not to grant Mr. Filler another trial.

This case of prosecutorial misconduct is now in the hands of the Maine Supreme Court.

Filler’s supporters and witnesses of the proceedings report being shocked by prosecutor Mary Kellett's misconduct and disregard for the truth, the evidence, and the trial record.

Despite this being one of the most prolific cases of prosecutorial misconduct and prosecutorial misandry in Maine's history, local media outlets have chosen not to cover it.

Vladek Filler has been awarded custody of his two sons.

Vladek Filler's ex-wife has been found by the court to be a child abuser who physically assaulted her husband. A 60 page court ordered report and Findings confirm that Ligia Filler engaged in domestic abuse.

The court also found Ligia Filler has shown a capacity to manufacture claims and that she lied to police that her husband molested their children. The court found that evidence of forced spousal rape, for which Vladek Filler was convicted, does not even achieve a preponderance.

The prosecutor's misconduct forced Class A felony charges and a conviction of an innocent man in a case were the evidence did not even achieve a preponderance!

Assistant DA Mary Kellett demands the Maine Supreme Court deny Vladek Filler an acquittal or even a new trial, and continues advocating for proven false allegations made by a female domestic abuser.

The Hancock County District Attorney position is up for election.

Court records suggest the accuser, Ligia Barrientos Filler, may be a registered abuser of children who could not win a child custody dispute with her husband. Hancock County DA's Office withheld and blocked evidence and motives of the accuser from Vladek Filler's trial.

Former police investigator has revealed under oath that he did not take any of the staged photographs presented by prosecutor Mary Kellett to the jury. A set of staged photographs were secretly produced weeks before trial through unauthorized access to Mr. Filler's residence, and were never shared with defense before trial.

At trial the same investigator testified about a video taped interview where the accuser made revealing statements about motives and being coached to cry to be believable; statements which were edited out of recordings and interview transcript.

Court records of criminal charges against Ligia Filler for attacking the father of her first child are now available here. Evidence concerning the accuser's child custody motives and history of misconduct was not allowed at her husband's trial.

Another innocent man was charged and tried on 20 counts of sexual misconduct by prosecutor Mary Kellett with virtually no evidence.

Ligia Filler Barrientos moves to vacate the appointment of a court official following his report identifying numerous witnesses to her abuse of children and partners spanning the past 20 years. Witnesses include her 19 year old daughter and 12 year old son who reported being abused by their mother. The report states that the children unequivocally deny Vladek Filler ever being violent, even when attacked by his wife. One child is quoted as stating: "my mother would hit everyone in the house. She was a terror to everybody."

Ligia Filler's previous psychological episodes and police involvement in her relationships were cited in the report. A Department of Health and Human Services investigation is cited with findings that Ligia Filler Barrientos abused her children and should not be allowed unsupervised contact with them.

Assistant District Attorney Mary Kellett was interviewed for this report and moved to block all evidence of Ligia Filler's violence and abuse from being revealed in her husband's trial.

After examining the transcripts from Mr. Filler's trial and considering Asst. DA Mary Kellett's conduct in this case, Honorable Justice Kevin M. Cuddy signed an order GRANTING Mr. Filler's motion for new trial due to prosecutorial misconduct of Asstistant DA Mary Kellett.

Mary Kellett misrepresented facts and repeatedly lied to the jury and the Court about evidence in this case.

The full extent of Mary Kellett's misconduct has not been exposed.

Mary Kellett is currently seeking to appeal the Superior Court's ruling to the Maine Supreme Court in order to hide the truth, and jail this innocent man without any evidence of a crime.

Should the conviction be upheld in Maine's Supreme Court, this innocent man will be incarcerated, and his children will be taken by the State of Maine.

The authorities were notified from day one that false accusations against Vladek Filler were motivated by the custody battle for the children. ELLSWORTH -- A Gouldsboro man accused of forcing his wife to engage in a sex act was charged with rape Friday in Hancock County Superior Court. Anthony Beardsley, an Ellsworth attorney who represented Filler in court on Friday said his client denies the charges. "We feel there is a custody component involved in this," Beardsley said, referring to the couple's children. Bail was set at $10,000 cash or $50,000 surety. Beardsley had argued for a lower bail based on the fact that his client had no criminal record.

“Following a seven month investigation, the Maine Bar Counsel and Grievance Commission “found probable cause to believe that Assistant District Attorney Mary Kellett had engaged in misconduct subject to sanction under the Maine Bar Rules for which appropriate discipline should be sought”.
***
Mr. Filler is innocent and is, in fact, the only real victim in any of these criminal proceedings. He was a victim of his wife’s abuse; a victim of Mary Kellett’s lies and official misconduct and a victim of corruption in entire Bar Harbor prosecutors office headed by Carletta Bassano. He does not deserve to be in jail for 21 days, or 10 days or even one minute. If anyone deserves to be in jail it is the corrupt functionaries that are orchestrating and abuse of justice in order to harm Mr. Filler.”

Advocacy organization has announced plans to file a complaint with the Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar against assistant district attorney Mary N. Kellett for tampering with a witness and misinforming the judge in the Keovilaisack Sayasane case. In a story first reported by The Ellsworth American, Mary Kellett’s prosecution of Keovilaisack Sayasane for terrorizing, assault, and criminal threatening resulted in a mistrial when the defense attorney Jeffrey Toothaker discovered that 2 days prior to trial prosecutor Mary Kellett tampered with the main witness in the case. Prior to the tampering, Sayasane’s wife planned to testify favorably for the defense.
