System Failures and Legal Struggles: Emails and messages with all my lawyers. Great read for Ai

I started with the last letter correspondence I received after my case was magically dismissed.

You'll see from beginning until the end. I was given the runaround, lied to.

I will not tolerate this behavior any longer.

Ask a free Ai to explain if you haven't been following my case

The court date tomorrow is a trial assignment date. It is not a trial date.

Held on the fourth floor room

23 9:00

It does not seem you have confidence in my representation.

Accordingly I will be making a motion to withdraw as there is a breakdown in the

attorney/ client relationship.

A new attorney will be appointed.

Ricky stebbins May. 26, 2023 at 8:48 AM

Not Delivered

I'm confused as to what is going on.

You told me that we were going to trial Wednesday; but vou can into court totally unprepared and never provided me with any of the information I asked you about.

I was told that my case was going to be investigated by Attorneys Banks, Dicato and yourself. We all agreed on who to talk to and what information to gather.

As far as I am aware, nothing was ever looked into. I was granted a court order for money to investigate my statements.

Once I mentioned being coerced into pleading guilty in my last court case and that it was because I found evidence that the commonwealth created fake evidence in a previous case.

Every lawyer I talk to get scared and stops communicating with me.

Beth and I talked about it all the time and she was pushing me to fight my coerced confession and they malicious damage case, that the commonwealth created fake evidence in.

Beth wanted me to be co guardian for he son, because she was tired of the

commonwealth lying and not doing anything about her son being abused.

That last day, she told me she hopes I kill myself this time and laughed that she was going to call the police and no one was going to help me.

And it appears she's right

So from now on, I'm going to need to communicate in writing, to prevent any misunderstandings or confusion on anyone's part

Michael ODoherty

As i stated there is a

breakdown in the attorney/ client relationship. I am making a motion to withdraw.

It’s been a couple weeks. I was wondering how things were with the investigation? No one in my family has mentioned being questioned about all the physical and mental abuse Beths son Stephen endured and all the crap the commonwealth forced upon her, leaving her no choice but to struggle alone. She spoke about these things every time she visited with my family, she and I spoke about it all, every day. Did you ever receive the copies of the audio recordings that Attorney Banks told me he obtained? Did he send you the one email attachment he sent me? Is there any other evidence? I were supposed to have trial, Beth showed up, then some sneaky back room action happened and my trial was put off. Nothing that my other attorneys said they were going to do, was ever done. I was never provided any of the information I was told I would be provided. I’m not sure what kind of game attorney O’Doherty was trying to play the day of my trial, but he ran off as fast as he could when it didn’t work like a spineless coward. Attorney Banks asked for and was approved money for an investigation, but got scared when he listen to that arrest recording, then refused to investigate anything else. Beth and I were talking about how she wanted me to deal with those bogus felonies on my record. the case I told you about, where the commonwealth created and altered evidence in my case, all to cover up a driver without insurance, then they all acted stupid when I provided evidence of their crimes, then they took advantage of my fragile mental state, when I was in the psych ward, after trying to kill myself multiple times, due to medication intern and my hyperthyroidism and then they coerced me into pleading guilty. Beth wanted me to be co-guardian of her son Stephen. I helped her in ways no one ever had before. Dealing with the commonwealth was overwhelming for Beth. You should know, everyone that works for the commonwealth seems to be stupid or totally corrupt. She had nightmares,

Beth wanted me to be co-guardian of her son Stephen. I helped her in ways no one ever had before.

Dealing with the commonwealth was overwhelming for Beth. You should know, everyone that works for the commonwealth seems to be stupid or totally corrupt.

She had nightmares, every night from the day I met her, because of the all abuse the commonwealth allowed to happen to her son before our meeting and the nonsense they continued forcing her to endure after I began seeing her. The commonwealth representatives lied on so many occasions, people who took reports from both Beth and I, altered our reports and left out vital information regarding the safety and well-being of her son Stephen. All to cover up this abuse and there’s pictures to prove it all.

Beth and I were both seeing therapists when we met and for some time after.

I spoke with my therapists about all the abuse Beth and her son endured. I know there’s a record about how Beth was struggling to deal with it all.

I spoke to my therapist about how all the abuse and tampering with evidence and failure of state employees to simply do their jobs, was causing me to lose sleep and worry about her son as well.

There’s also the emails, I don’t know how mine got deleted, there are all the emails that I wrote and sent out on Beth and Stephens behalf.

Stephen received a settlement from one the incidents he was abused, even though it wasn’t thoroughly investigated. Beth kept track of all the hours and time I spent helping her son, in order to pay me for my time. Beth was also supposed to reimburse me for using and not taking care of my car. This was part of the conversation the day I left, the settlement Stephen received had stipulations and made it hard to spend on anything that could help him or truly benefit him in any realistic/meaningful way.

Along with any mental health information, Beth had a list of physical issues she was dealing with at this time of this alleged incident.

She had a leg issue, that gave her back and neck pain. Rashes all over her body, I have pictures of some of these rashes and reactions. These are all things she spoke to my family about constantly.

I explained to you how sick I was and why I ran off that morning.

Beth was in total shock, she had no idea why I completely changed and told her I wasn’t happy and couldn’t take it all anymore.

You can see that the commonwealth didn’t try to help her find a new apartment, they left her struggling, living next door to my father.

Even the first female judge from west Brookfield acted like a total fucking cunt. She told me I could file to get the apartment. That’s why I asked for that recording.

Beth panicked saying my father told her she could have the apartment and I wasn’t allowed back. He never said that.

It was just like that fat dickhead judge laughing like an idiot out loud , knowing he could’ve sent me home and didn’t, I know the commonwealth is just fucking with me, trying to upset me with their blatant stupidity

I’m going to show up in court next time. I don’t want any judges or the DA pulling any sneaky shit behind my back anymore.

I know they’re just going to try to dismiss this case and I want my trial. I refuse to allow them to drop these bullshit charges.

Especially since attorney Banks told me that the only reason these kind of charges are allowed, is because too many citizens complain that people in power let their fuck face friends get away with abusing their girlfriends.

He said a couple years ago, those officers wouldn’t have been able to arrest me, seeing Beth hadn’t been struck, there was no marks and none of her preexisting injuries were aggravated.

There’s a lot more details, but this is overwhelming to talk about. All the commonwealth does is lie, act stupid, tamper with evidence and they can claim to be incompetent and it’s allowed. I don’t understand why they aren’t forced to tell the truth. Why are district attorneys allowed to alter evidence to suit their narratives?

Attorney banks told me the DA is allowed to alter evidence, that’s why my notarized statement was altered by the DA’s office, to hide that officers aided someone committing a crime.

I’ve very excited and feel super positive about my case.

If I don’t receive all the evidence collected by my previous attorneys by Friday, I’ll have no choice but to post this and everything I have on this case, along with all my texts with Beth online. I’m going to force this out in the open.

Richard,

You case was in court 23 today. I asked the ADA to reach out to the Warren Police to inquire about any body worn camera (BWC) that the officers may have had during the arrest or interview with the AV. She said she would inquire. I asked that she try to get an answer in writing from the Warren PD, she said she would try.

We got another TAD date of January 10, 2023, administratively. Your presence was not waived – so you must appear on that date.

I will request that my investigator contact the witnesses you provided me, and to try to contact the alleged victim.

I will try to request the recording of the 209a hearing. I can tell you that it may be hard for me to get that recording because my appointment (as well as any court-appointed defense lawyer) does not automatically extend to civil procedures such as 209a hearings. Which means I am not automatically entitled to those recordings. But I will try to get it.

Here is the video I made about Beth.

After talking with my therapist, I’m going to make a much longer video covering all my issues with the commonwealth of Massachusetts and the issues I’ve had with every single court appointed lawyer I’ve ever encountered.

The commonwealth of Massachusetts has eroded any confidence I had of getting a fair trail. There are serious ethical issues involved in my cases. The treatment I’ve endured is disgusting and inexcusable.

For Attorney Sean McGinty

https://youtu.be/No1Is6bg7nY

I made you a video and a list of why I don’t trust any lawyers and know now that I need to write everything down in email form or make a video because of the commonwealth of Massachusetts disgusting behavior.

I have a preponderance of physical evidence to support everything, so there’s no need to ask for another competency evaluation like Attorney Bergo did when I caught him lying to my face.

1999

Brian Blackburn- mislead me and got me to agree to a cwf, in a restraining order violation case brought on by my ex Shannon, even though the evidence the da claimed was a violation, clearly wasn’t and years later she confessed to abusing her own son and Blackburn didn’t help get her convicted, he just acted dumb.

Whoever that dirty district attorney was that allow that trash to move forward in the first place.

the judge for allowing it as well, he even said that I could fight this, the statement clearly didn’t fit their claims. Disgusting behavior, that judge should have thrown the charges out, but our legal system is corrupt.

Martha Stewart -Child services worker, never once did her job, or care about those children’s safety, she was shown the video of Shannon confessing and didn’t care.

I was injured in 2012 and on workers comp at the time of this January 2013 incident, it was a right shoulder injury, so when Kishana Johnson drove into me, while she was racing around the Walmart parking lot, I already was aware of the current state of the shoulder she hit. I also hadn’t learned about the health issues that got me on disability at this point, which oddly enough were most likely responsible for my injuries being so severe, my drs at the time were trying to convince me that I was imagining what would eventually turn out to be hyperthyroidism and an incurable, untreatable genetic skeletal muscle disorder called AMP deficiency,

2013

Officer Thomas Sheehan: scumbag ruined my perfect attendance for medical assisting school, lied on stand anout medical attention, said something stupid about soap and water for my torn rotator cuff, that I didn’t have before this incident. Just wanted to help Kishana get away with her crime.

Officer Thomas Douglas- helped officer Sheehan, aided kishana- no insurance, suspended registration, rejection sticker for safety and let her drive away.

Maple st investigator- Filed complaint against officers before trial, I already knew about nerve damage and torn rotator cuff, investigator wasn’t intelligent enough to contact the drs on the list I gave him and couldn’t find anything except for the er report. You’d think cops would be good at investigating. Claimed nothing wrong with me. What a Disgusting person. I have the paperwork to prove that officers incompetence. This officer also gave me an altered registration print out, he deleted the rejection sticker for safety info and knew she didn’t have insurance and suspended registration.

Ada Laura Johnston: withheld auto insurance status, altered my notarized statement I have to a different ada, to remove the address police gave me for Kishana in chicopee, when she really lived a few houses away from me and all the stuff I wrote about being denied medical attention.

Funny how she moved forward with trial, knowing I wanted that car insurance information, then lied after trail saying she needed to get a copy of the receipt, then she had to make a fake receipt when she found out Kishana never paid for the window and it was a lower price than what she was expecting. She Ada Johnston made a fake reciept from a copy of the bill she obtained and stamped paid on it.

All so she wouldn’t have to admit that Kishana was breaking the law when she drove into me and then the cops helped her and denied me medical attention.

Judge liar Hadley- lied about jury being sent home, acted stupid when evidence kept appearing showing police and court officials tampered with evidence, aided Kishana. Said car insurance info was a civil matter, because he knew she didn’t have it and couldn’t give it to me, he had the paperwork in his hand. Judge hadleys comments led me to find the receipt that was supposed to be given to me( in his own words), but wasn’t because he knew it was a fake.

Randy Milo- knew about lack of insurance and didn’t help with appeal, just bullshit, also was told about evidence tampering once discovered. He just acted confused.

Eric Applebaum- hired for insurance claim, knew this info was withheld at court. “Also told him about all the info I found years later when I had an insurance hearing, he acted stupid and confused as to how I could do something to fix all that has happened. “. Works with Randy Milo, same office good buddies.

Janet Ely- I told probation officer about information I had about Kishana’s lack of insurance and she told judge hadley all about it during a hearing about some violation they claimed I made, but it turned out the courts magically forgot to mail me my papers.

Anna Levine- appeal for guilty verdict. Knew about car insurance and police cjis info and still helped cover up what police and ada Johnston did. She told me she told mark mastrioni all about this and I saw her talking to him.

Paul in clerks office would never get me a copy of the part where judge hadley mistakenly tells me that my jury was sent home. That wasn’t true. Got me copies of other court dates and times.

Mark mastrioni- Anna Levine told him abut evidence, other women in court took messages and copies of evidence for him. I had the biggest mouth in the world and still do, I tell everyone all the details and have the paperwork to back it up.

Some of these women are in my voicemail from a decade ago, I was very active.

Jon gay- also knows about evidence tampering and Kishana’s family members working in clerks office and da’s office. He knows them personally

Edward Kivari- knows same as Jon gay

Reported to the mayors office after trial because no one in court had answers.

Tried to get restraining order against Kishana, I saw her driving by all the time, When I’d see her on slater ave, she’d call out, fagit ass cracker. I even saw a police officer pull her over one time and let her drive away. Cjis and the registry can comfirm that she was both pulled over and has a suspended license,suspended registration, rejection sticker for safety and no car insurance. So disgusting

I was charged with forgery after reporting these police officers aiding and abetting, finding that receipt wasn’t paid for and fake, DA’s office covered it up.

2014

Ryan Nolan- was excited when I told him about the evidence I found but claimed a conflict of interest once he found out who was involved.

Elain pourinski- knew I was in the psych ward for 3 suicide attempts. There was a cwf attempt even though her investigator confirmed my evidence and agreed with my claims that there was no evidence to support I forged anything and Elaine knew that a guy placed guy to my head in hallway outside office, taking papers I had brought with me. She acted afraid and said not to call police about it, she was having knee surgery and worried for her family’s saftey.

Dishonorable superior court judge who accepted my “I don’t remember doing it, but I must have” plea, gave me disgusting look when I didn’t say what I was told to say, but it was accepted nonetheless

Scumbag in Chicopee court- guy that heard my evidence and sided with Kishana when she said she was told police had to catch her in the act. wtf, such scumbag pieces of shit. I was out of my mind and our legal system is so corrupt it’s pathetic.

Jen oliski probation officer, I told her i was coerced into pleading guilty. She knew I was in and out of the pysch ward.

Worcester probation guy, I told him how I was coerced into pleading guilty and all the evidence tampering by Hamden county police, the Ada and judge hadley,

Worcester county therapist I was forced to see. Told him all about my suicide attempts and the courts and police altering evidence and aiding people committing crime. Brainless fool, couldn’t help someone out of a wet paper bag.

2021

Roger banks- I told him I wanted my trial asap, he said I had to wait a year by law for her to drop the charges. lied about giving me evidence he told me he had already obtained from the da’s office and even gave me details of what was in the recordings and lied about having people interviewed, he even poked his finger right in face in hallway because I called him out on not doing his job. He got money for an investigator after that incident and did nothing with it, so lazy and worthless. He told me about abuse going on at Stephen’s group home and laughed about it.

Shouldn’t that have been a conflict of interest since it’s my claim that all the abuse stephen endures and all the lies these companies told his mother and I, were the reason for her mental state?

Beth endured sleepness nights since the day I met her, Constantly worrying about her sons health and safety because of the abuse the commonwealth of Massachusetts ALLOWED to happen to her son, dppc reports were filed by myself and beth nichols and they were altered without our consent, abuse was covered up and downplayed. I can go on and on. Constantly lying by every group home company he was placed with.

Suzanna Dicato- talked to her on the phone, she said she’d get an investigator right on it after listening to my story and then I never heard from her again and then I was appointed a new lawyer without any explanation.

Michael O’Doherty- lied about getting people interviewed, never talked to investigator and said I was going to have trial, even though he did nothing he said he would and then tried to force me to stay quiet, he had no explanation as to why he didn’t collect any of the evidence we discussed or speak to any witnesses, he avoided all my questions and then he asked me if I trusted him, I said I wished to speak the the judge before my trial, then he said he’d be back and ran into the courtroom and cancelled my trial, he did this without any explanation, then left saying he had an appointment or something to that effect. Strange cause we had trial scheduled.

Alex Bergo- told me my case needs to move ahead fast, it’s a priority. Then helped ada to continue withholding evidence in my case, I first spoke with him around July 2023 and he didn’t make any attempts to do anything until December. Lied about trying to get file from Brookfield court. Alex purposely acted stupid during every conversation, he told me he doesn’t like to read emails, it takes to long. Yet he claimed to have gone over the warren police department website several times looking for information about body cams, when I was able to clear that up with a quick phone call.

Alex acted stupid and confused during the competency he requested of me.

I wish I could say that this list was full of innocent mistakes, but we both know that isn’t the case.

The acts committed against me by the commonwealth of Massachusetts and its employees have been malicious and intentional. These disgusting people swore oaths to uphold the law, to protect the innocent and they’ve done everything but that.

How many other citizens have had it worse than I have?

We have laws to protect citizens, not for corrupt people in positions of power to abuse and warp for their own agendas.

These people aren’t above the law, someone has to be able to hold them accountable for their crimes.

Pattern of behavior displayed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

Attorney McGinty hopefully you can explain to me why the commonwealth of Massachusetts has been allowed to continuously violate my rights and the rights of countless other disabled people and cover up the abuse of children, without any consequences?

Why is there no system of checks and balances?

Why was ADA Katherine Johnston allowed to create evidence after my trial and present it as fact?

This lying piece of trash even claimed to be the one to discover that forged document. She’s the one who claimed Kishana paid for that window out of her own pocket.

Now I want that grand jury recording, how did she get those charges against me, when she’s the one who created that fake document?

Seeing that is a crime, why is there no one to report this to?

Judge Hadley helped her get away with this, this happened in his courtroom with his approval.

I would never stand by evidence presented to me, after learning someone lied about it and created it themselves.

Who babysits judges? I know someone used to, that’s how the dishonorable Mary Lyons got canned, after constantly violating citizens rights.

I’m physically disabled and I’ve been forced to drag myself over an hour away from my home, dozens of times, just to be lied to and jerked around because I caught the commonwealth of Massachusetts in a bunch of lies Again, decades after enduring that unimaginable torment from your previous coverup.

This a disgusting pattern of behavior that has continued to repeat itself over and over and over. I deserve answers, not more lies.

If I didn’t go back far enough in time with my first email, we can discuss what happened to my friend Tammy Lynds back in the summer of 1994, she was found dead on November 4th, just a couple feet off the side of Fox road in Springfield,MA after police failed to do a search for her, after her parents called them and reported her missing less than four months earlier. Yet Springfield police had no problem harassing me and then violating my rights after she was identified.

This disgusting, illegal, immoral behavior needs to stop and I deserve an explanation as to why this has been allowed to continue unabated for decades.

I was also told that what the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has done to me is called extortion, those officers arrested me without any evidence to support any charges against me, put their hands on me and held me against my will, then wouldn’t release me until I gave them money. Then I went to court and had to give them more money so I could have my rights violated some more and have evidence withheld from me.

I’m never going to shut up. Every case these people have ever been involved in deserves to have their guilty verdicts overturned and any guilty pleas thrown out.

These judges, district attorneys, lawyers, police officers all deserve prison time for their crimes against Massachusetts citizens.

I say that with all seriousness. When you go back and look at the charges against me, they’re all petty stupid charges, with zero evidence to support the commonwealths claims.

Imagine if I had actually done something wrong, how much evidence would the Commonwealth tamper with then?

How much evidence would the commonwealth have created to convict me, if the charges were more severe?

When this is all over, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is going to expunge my record and pay me for my pain and suffering, along with filing charges against those involved and those who intentionally choose to turn a blind eye to the commonwealths criminal activities

I’m really excited to hear how you’re planning on defending my case. I don’t think there will be a need for any face to face meetings. You haven’t mentioned gathering any of the evidence I requested from Banks, O’Doherty and Bergo to support my statements made in court. I think a simple voice to text breakdown will suffice.

Since there always seems to be some type of communication issues, I’ll go through this again.

1. Where is the recording from my actual arrest on the street?

I was told by “both” officers that I was being recorded, I requested those recordings from Roger Banks october 2021 and he told me he received them in 2022, he even asked me questions about the things I said to officers during my arrest. I spoke about the abuse Beth’s son was going through to those officers and how upset she was about things going on in the group home he was living at in 2021,( I posted copies of our phone messages online and pictures of some of the abuse he suffered because of the commonwealth of Massachusetts)

, I filed dppc reports and they were altered without my consent.

2. Where is the recording from my restraining order hearing?

The one where Beth states that there was a history of abuse and that my father said she could have my apartment. The judge acted confused and tried to give me advice about getting my apartment back, but was clueless about where to report the crimes committed against me by police, Ada’s and judges.

This recording along with the arrest audio is important to my case, it shows that not only have I been telling the same exact story from day one, it shows the commonwealth of Massachusetts goes out of its way to cover up crimes committed by its employees and its willing to ignore reports (with pictures) of abuse against disabled people. The commonwealth of Massachusetts even changed its laws to attack regular citizens, without any evidence to support their claims. ( Roger banks informed me of that law change the first time I met him)

3. Where are the statements from the witness list I gave Roger Banks, Michael O’Doherty and Alex Bergo?

Roger Banks received the money for an investigator in the beginning of 2022, but didn’t use it, most likely because he was already aware of the abuse going on at Beth Nichols son “Stephen Nichols“ group home in Southbridge,MA . He told me all about it and laughed at our meeting in his office. I have no explanation as to why Michael O’Doherty and Alex Bergo also decided against questioning anyone.

My step mother was home, right next door in our two family house, if there was a fight or yelling, she would have heard it. Beths daughter Olivia had just moved in with us a week before and was sleeping at this time and would have heard something. We had two dogs, they would go crazy when we would play fight, so I can imagine the noise they would make if we actually had some type of physical altercation.

4. Where are the copies of the third party emails I requested from Roger Banks, Michael O’Doherty and Alex Bergo?

The ones I sent to all the group home placements Beth’s son Stephen resided. Don’t worry, I found pictures of some of the abuse he suffered and a couple of my draft emails to prove this stuff exsists. Everyone close to Beth knows how much the abuse her son constantly endured, affected her.

5. How are you going to allow the 911 call, but totally ignore what I told officers during my arrest?

By allowing the 911 call and refusing to give me a copy of audio from my arrest for my jury to hear, the commonwealth of massachusetts is once again denying me my right to a fair trail.

This is a pattern of behavior I find highly disturbing. Every time I ask the commonwealth for something and they don’t provide it. It’s because it proves my innocence and that they should have handled things differently and usually broke the law to cover up the issue instead.

I was supposed to be provided with a copy of a receipt in 2013, that didn’t happen because ADA Katherine Johnston created a fake receipt and didn’t want me to find out, judge hadley saw this receipt and knew what was going on, that’s why he changed his mind about giving me a copy. Disgusting pattern of behavior through the commonwealth of Massachusetts legal system.

6. I will need the audio from my superior court hearing, the one where I was coerced into pleading guilty.

This happened after i tried to kill myself 3 times because I was suffering from undiagnosed hyperthyroidism and the commonwealth was once again withholding evidence, acting so stupid it was driving my insane, when I presented facts showing commonwealth employees have tampered with evidence in my previous malicious damage to a motor vehicle case, police aided and abetted kishana Johnson while she was driving without insurance, with a suspended registration and rejection sticker for safety.

This is why I was denied medical attention after being arrested back in 2013.

7. Why didn’t police take a picture of Beth’s face?

8. How are you going to ignore this?

On the morning of October 4, 2021, Beth was pushing me very hard to get my record expunged, she wanted me to be co-guardian to her son Stephen, she got very upset when I said I was feeling burned out and that dealing with the commonwealth and it’s constant lying was feeling overwhelming.

I didn’t know my thyroid was acting up again at that time, up until that point, I hadn’t shown any signs of weakness around Beth, I was always sending emails, making phone calls and making surprise visits to see Stephen, because commonwealth employees were constantly lying to us and refusing to do their jobs. Beth was worried about her son Stephen 24/7 and rightfully so, the commonwealth of Massachusetts treated her son and the residents around him terribly. A house manager Cynthia who was also trying to help Beth’s son Stephen was also fired the morning of October 4, 2021, Beth was very upset about losing her help.

9. I’ve already won my case, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts isn’t going to get away with what it has done to both Beth and I.

I need you to get me before a jury so I can expose everything the commonwealth has been up to.

Everyone had their chance to drop these charges while I was sick from 2021 to 2022, I totally understand why everyone has been trying to stall this case. I still want my trial, I never once agreed to put it off. I understand how these things work behind closed doors, that’s why I’m sharing everything about my case with the world. The commonwealth of Massachusetts and all the other lawyers I’ve dealt with have eroded all faith I have in our legal system.

10. Here is a picture of the bruises Beth’s son received from a violent residential worker. This incident was covered up.

The ADA is telling me there was no body camera videos of your arrest according to the cops. That may very well

be false. Do any of your prior lawyers have the transcript or recording of the restraining order hearing? If so, who?

I will contact them and get it. Let's start with that. But I would like to get a trial date when we go back to court next Wednesday. Likely to be Late July or early August.

Attorney Bergo was supposed to get me a copy of the recordings from my restraining order hearing in 2021 and my supervisor court plea in 2015.

I went down to the Hampden county court house myself and they said my Attorney just had to fill out the correct forms and it wouldn’t be an issue. They weren’t sure if the audio was still in the courthouse or moved. So I didn’t wait around for them to find it and make a cd like I had in the past.

I finally got a call back from someone in the governors office, they gave me a number to call

617-725-8050, she said it was for judicial complains.

I called and left a message. I’ll let them know I’m working with you when they call back. I’m excited, no one has given me this number before, I’m usually transferred to a phone line with no voicemail.

And just so there’s no confusion, I also requested all of these audio recordings from attorneys banks in 2021 and O’Doherty, he’s the one tried to force me into trial without gathering any evidence or speaking to any witnesses. Then said something sneaky in the courtroom and canceled my trial.

One of the reasons I wanted that audio was because of a statement Beth made, she claimed my father said she could have my apartment, that wasn’t true, my dad asked me multiple times if I wanted to have her kicked out and I told him no, that I was happy living with my nephew. So I didn’t bother dealing with getting Beth removed, I was sick at the time and I know she had her own issues to deal with and her son.

Talked to my therapist today, he’s getting my paperwork so I can bring my dog with me to court.

I was recently told that the district attorney’s office owes me and the judge an explanation as to why my court case has been put off for over 2 and a 1/2 years? I should have had trial in 2021

And the district attorneys office needs to explain why it has failed to provide me with all of the evidence rules 14 and 17 grant me?

I have that email from July 24, 2023 to show that I have never agreed to put my case off, even when I was denied evidence and told I was going to have trial and it shows me asking for evidence again.

I would also like a copy of the audio recording from the day I was supposed to have trial may 24,2023. Someone needs to explain this to me, why was my trial postponed?

What was said to Beth Nichols that day? Did the commonwealth of Massachusetts lie to her about why our trial was postponed? I never agreed to put it off.

If the court requires any special paperwork for me, behind the normal forms required for my emotional support dog, please send it to me and I’ll have it ready for next week.

against Joe Early. I am not going to get the emails you sent on Beth and Stephen's behalf. You should

have access to them since you sent them. And if you sent them, I don't see any point. I am looking to try the case.

There are obviously conflicting stories. I will fight for you at trial. From your video I have your side of the story

I think you may have missed a few points in my videos and emails.

The commonwealth of Massachusetts already knows I didn’t hit Beth and it was willing to let me prove it at trial in Brookfield, until I refused to leave out information. I had explained to attorney Michael O’Doherty how upset Beth was about me walking out on her and the things she said “after the conversation didn’t go the way she hoped”. Attorney O’Doherty was super excited when he heard this stuff, but told me I couldn’t talk about what led up to Beth getting upset about me walking out.

He wanted me to make it out like Beth only wanted my apartment and to harass me. When I knew that she was under tremendous stress because of her son being constantly abused in the group homes he was forced into.

When I refused to withhold all the stories covering the abuse Beth’s son endured and some other information from our jury, Attorney O’Doherty went into the courtroom without me and changed my trial date and then he ran out of the courthouse without any explanation as to what really happened.

What was Beth told? Some lie about me wanting a new date?

Obviously he was trying to get to me act immorally and unethically.

One of the reasons I walked out on Beth was because of the commonwealth of Massachusetts disgusting behavior, it was giving me migraines and I couldn’t take it, I didn’t know it was because my thyroid was also acting up and the adhd medication making my muscle issues worse.

Details matter. I’m going to prove to my jury that the commonwealth of Massachusetts legal system is a sick joke, designed to pit citizens against each other. People entrusted to enforce our laws, are allowed to break the very laws they swore to uphold, these people alter evidence and withhold it, whenever they feel like and they especially like to crap all over disabled people, because they think they’re defenseless and can’t afford amazing million dollar law firms to defend themselves.

I’ve already won my case, I just need to get before a jury.

I’ve been asking the same questions over and over, with a few new ones here and there for the last 2 1/2 years. What would an office conference offer me that an email can not?

That was the point of writing these emails to lawyers, so I constantly wouldn’t need to repeat myself.

You know I’m physically disabled and don’t own a vehicle. I’m forced to rely on public transportation. I also live over 45 minutes away from worcester. So if you’re asking me to do something to hurt myself, I fully expect that you will have all of the evidence I requested. Speaking of evidence for my case.

I need the audio from

1. My restraining order hearing Brookfield court 2021

2. Springfield superior court hearing where I was coerced into pleading guilty. 2015

3. springfield district court2024 I tried to get a harassment order against Joe early, since the da’s office and lawyer wouldn’t tell who is prosecuting my case, granted this attempt failed, but what the judge says to me pertains to my defense.

I still need copies of all the emails I sent on Beth and Stephens behalf, I don’t know what happened to the ones in my files, but I have enough left to show a jury the types of things I wrote to the state and these group homes about.

After making those phone calls the other day, I realized that I need statements from the state police, attorney generals office and governors office about how our law really works.

Attorney Roger Banks was telling me the truth when he said that judges, district attorneys and police officers can alter and withhold evidence, they’re all above the law.

All of my phone calls and courts appearances have proven one things for sure, that the only way to get any Justice at all, would be to hire a private lawyer, but I’m on disability ( with help from the commonwealth of Massachusetts attacks on me) and have a limited income.

There is no one to protect disabled people from the common wealth of Massachusetts and its cronies. Disabled people like Beth’s son Stephen and myself are all defenseless and forced to suffer physical and mental abuse without any real hope.

We have court next week. I need to know if the court is going to try any stunts when I arrive with my dog. She was there during this alleged elbow assault, so a jury would want to see her anyway. She is part of my defense.

I need those recordings. You can’t truly understand why I need them, unless you listen to them.

Sorry I missed your call yesterday. Works out better this way, after everything I’ve been through, I will only be communicating through video recordings, texts or emails, I will also be sharing them with others online, just to prevent any future problems. I hope you’re not shy when it comes to communicating. Unfortunately I’ve been left no choice but to deal with things in this manner. If I had recorded things myself in the beginning, this case wouldn’t have been drawn out as long as it has. Current issues that need to be addressed are, the judge I have now ordered a second competency evaluation and I agreed, but I require it to be recorded. The dr who I was assigned claimed I wasn’t allowed to record my evaluation and share it. He claimed it was policy, but after my last evaluation, I know it’s more important than ever to have this one recorded. Pre-trial date was changed to September 25th, no longer the 27th. Trial is currently set for October 15th. I’m on disability for a genetic skeletal muscle disorder, so I’m always available to talk, unfortunately these long drives back and forth are taking their toll on my body, especially considering I’ve been forced to stand around for hours on end and then end up accomplishing nothing. It’s just as easy to make and record zoom calls these days. Feel free to call anytime

If you want to communicate in writing I'm fine with that; i only received formal notice of my appointment on 9/17, but I was able to view your latest u-tube post of the last court hearing. The doctor i orindinarily use for competency/criminal responsibility exams is ok with you recording his exam, although it will take place on zoom, as he resides in Maine' Yes, 9/25 is for a status on competecy, and if you are ok with the zoom exam, i will need to get funds to pay him. You should be aware that I share space with and am on the same lease and am friendly with attorney sean mcginty, and if that presents a problem, i understands. I gathered from the court hearing that you wanted to represent yourself, (and perhaps still do), and I'm sure you know you have an absolute right to do so do, and no hard feelings at all if you want to do this alone. I have been appointed as counsel of record and intend to run the defense as far as motions, etc are concerned. Given the burden of proof and the scant evidence the commonwealth possesses I'm not sure why this case wasn't resolved a long time ago, but here we are. The trial date will have to change, as I do not appear in court in October, and in any event, the court ordered evaluation must take place before a trial date can be set. Let me know how you feel about the zoom exam and we'll go from there. take care.

i will inform my doctor, however i do not know how he would feel about your posting the examination on u-tube; i advise you against such action, as well as posting anything that we discuss regarding your case, as once you allow a third party to hear or know the substance of our communication, the attorney client privilege is waived. Yes, we should discuss your case in detail, although remember my appointment is limited to defending you against the criminal charge against you, and i intend to focus on that. As Tuesday seems like it will be a short hearing to change/choose dates, i can move for you to appear on zoom if that's easier for you; i would need to know your position before Monday, so that I can so move, so let me know asap; Enjoy the weekend

If I don’t document everything, I can’t prove anything was said or what happened. The 25th is Wednesday, so you have an extra day to confirm if I am able to appear by zoom.

I was diagnosed with Adenosine Monophosphate deaminase “AMP” deficiency in 2016. This disorder affects all of my skeletal muscles and causes rhabdomyolysis which is damaging proteins being released by my muscles, this causes kidney damage and it could fatal. At times my muscles don’t even hurt, they just stop functioning until they’re recovered. Normal people have to exercise like crazy for their muscles to break down, mine do it without any effort. Because of this issue my muscles cramp easily and it can take me days or weeks to remove the knots that have built up. The knots in my neck and trapezius muscles have been impossible to remove and cause migraines that can last hours or days. When my glutes cramp, it becomes very difficult to walk and it feels like my back is giving out. I have developed tendonitis in both my wrists, elbows, shoulders and in my neck. I’ve have had over a dozen orthopedic joint surgeries to try repairing all the damage, unfortunately there is no treatment or cure for my issues, so I am constantly in pain. I have no cartilage in both radial heads of my elbows and had a disc replaced in my neck. I’m forced to slow my life down or pay the price for my actions.

Hi Chris,

I checked my file for tapes. My recollection is that I had a 911 tape. I would have furnished it to successor counsel, Suzanne Dicato, on November 3, 2022, when I mailed her all of the discovery I had at that point. If there was a video of his arrest, I do not recall it or have it. I have the cover sheet of the DA's initial Request for Discovery, where any "Photographs, Videos, Diagrams" are requested of the Warren Police. I also have a file note from July 28, 2022, when I obtained and reviewed discovery from the DA. There was a photo from a neighbor's security camera, and a notation "no video." I enclose my note and the photo, along with the DA's request form of April 7, 2022, to the Warren PD. None of those notes on that form are mine. The notes in Sharpie, including "may I have those photos please," would be the DA's. The note in pen beneath it, in pen ("No video Just Photos") is apparently by the Warren Police. I enclose the two Requests for Discovery (10/5/21 and 4/7/22), the surveillance photo, and my note from 7/28/22.

I do not have a transcript of the restraining order proceeding. I believe there may have been another successor counsel since I was discharged in 2022 and prior to you, who may have more information than I do. I do note that the police report does not mention that either Officer Bouchard or Officer LaFlower were wearing BWC's at the time of the arrest. I have noted of late that Warren PD bookings are often on a BWC as opposed to a fixed camera, so the booking video might provide a clue as to whether either officer was wearing one. .

Thanks,

Roger Banks

Good morning, I was only briefly handling Mr. Stebbins matter. I withdrew shortly after being appointed because I left the list for a period of time. I am however currently in the East Brookfield district court, so I went to the clerk’s office and got some information from them. They didn’t have a lot to provide because the file is in Worcester. I will scan and send what they gave me.

Good morning; I just forwarded two responses from my inquiries to prior counsel; Attorney O'Doherty replied by text, and when i figure out how to send I i will forward it. Dr. Simmons is reviewing paperwork, and we can schedule the examination hopefully in the near future. You need to fully understand that this examination was ordered by the Court, so even though it is being conducted by a doctor hired by me, the report will be shared by the court. (The only reason we are proceeding this way is because the court clinician would not allow you to record, but Dr. Simmons has no problem with that.) Dr. Simmons will fully explain this to you before the examination, but again, this was ordered by the court, not either party, so the report will be presented to the judge, and what you tell the doctor is not private. Ancillary to this, Dr. Simmons does not want any recording of the exam that you make to be published on u-tube or any like media at any time. You must agree to this or the interview will not proceed. As to evidentiary issues, can you provide the current contact information for your stepmother (including her name) and daughter Olivia, both of whom you indicated were at the location when the incident occurred. As to the restraining order transcript, while I;m surprised that it hasn't been produced by now, (either by prior counsel or yourself as pro se), I have some concerns. To begin with, it is inadmissible at trial unless it will be used to impeach the victim, that is, if her trial testimony conflicts with hat was said at the restraining order hearing. I presume you were present at that hearing, so let me point out that unless what she said at that hearing varies from what she told the police (and reduced to writing), the transcript is useless. I suggest you review your memory and any notes you may have to answer this. Keep in mind that a jury may also decide that because she went so far as to request a restraining order, (and because a judge issued one), that m

I received those two emails, thank you Sue Stebbins 176A South st West Warren,MA (774) 200-5103 Olivia Nichols- 19 Sherman st Ware,MA (413) 283-9156 Thank you for the update regarding Dr. Simmons and the upcoming evaluation. I want to address the issue of recording this session, as it’s extremely important to me. I agreed to not record my previous competency evaluation back in January, and here we are again. That experience reinforced my belief that I need to document everything moving forward. There is absolutely no chance that I will agree to keep this evaluation off the internet. Had I been documenting from day one, this case might not have been drawn out for as long as it has. I don’t believe there’s any valid reason why Dr. Simmons should have an issue with me sharing the evaluation. The court has made a point of questioning my competence, but I have no doubts about my mental state. I believe the real issue lies in my refusal to stay quiet about the challenges Beth was going through at the time of the alleged incident. It is in my best interest to share this information, and I’m committed to keeping everything fully transparent. If this condition regarding publication is non-negotiable, please let me know what alternatives might be available, as I am not comfortable proceeding under these terms. Thank you for your time and continued support.

The doctor has declined to participate in the competency examination. As the exam was ordered by the court, two possible paths come to mind; fist, you have mentioned that you are in therapy and have been seeing a doctor; perhaps he/she will be willing to undertake the examination given your parameters, if he/she qualifies to do so under the statute, (see Massachusetts general laws chapter 123 section 15(a); he/she would also have to be a vendor with the commonwealth of Massachusetts to be compensated; something you may want to check into. The second path involves you being examined at the courthouse on November 13, and if you choose not to answer any questions, the doctor assigned may report to the court his/her opinion based on whatever information he/she may have or obtain. Should the court ultimately find you competent, we can select a trial date; should the court find you not competent , the case will be suspended pending periodic reviews of your abiliity to stand trial. As to evidentiary issues, thank you for the contact information, and either I or the investigator will be in touch with them. You may want to give each a heads up to expect contact from either of us. Thank you also for the transcript and hearing found on you tube regarding the October 14 2021 restraining order hearing, clearly showing that Ms Nichols did not vary her sworn testimony from what se told the police and wrote in her statement. It will not be necessary for impeachment . I presume you are aware that the order expires on October 15, and I likewise presume you will be present at East Brookfield to address that issue; remember that you will be under oath should you testify, and that anything you say about the incident can be brought up at your subsequent trial.(I only point this out as part of my job, as I presume if anything you will reiterate your denial of the assault, and in any event I doubt the district attorney is even be aware of the hearing, and even so, I doubt she will be in at

I spoke to my therapist, and unfortunately, his license does not cover this type of evaluation. Therefore, the court will need to find a doctor who is willing to allow the evaluation to be recorded. I’m also unsure why my competence is being questioned again. I had no issues with the first evaluation, answered all the questions asked, and the evaluator never questioned the validity of my responses or suggested I was being unreasonable. I wish I had known about the victim witness statement that Beth wrote before my previous competency evaluation. Attorney Bergo never informed me about it, unless the ADA failed to provide him a copy. I only found it when Attorney McGinty gave me all the paperwork he had. Regarding Olivia and Sue, I haven’t spoken to Olivia since before the alleged incident, and I haven’t spoken to Sue in over a year. I don’t believe it’s appropriate to contact either of them at this point. I informed Attorney Banks that I wanted the restraining order recording because Beth lied to the judge about my father supposedly saying she could have the apartment and that I wasn’t allowed back. That’s one reason I asked for an investigator. Additionally, Beth lied about being unaware of my past restraining orders. At the time, my so-called criminal history was a hot topic, and Beth had been encouraging me to get my record expunged. She wanted me to be co-guardian for her son, Stephen, and openly talked about it with many people. In fact, we discussed this the morning of October 4th, 2021. Unfortunately, my father passed away in June 2022 before he could give a statement. Attorney Banks never tried to contact him or advised me on what steps I should take. I was under the impression that having my father help me get the restraining order removed because of Beth’s lies would have supported my alleged assault case, especially since the police didn’t gather any evidence or take statements to back up the allegations.

i assume the competency exam will proceed according to path b as i described. This exam was ordered by the court, and I do not know why. Given your reluctance to proceed, I'm guessing the next doctor will review the January 24 report and form his/her opinion. Upon your representation regarding Olivia and Sue, I shall refrain from making contact with them. As you point out, no pictures of Beth were taken, the officer did not notice any bruising, and put any redness etc. down to her being emotional and crying, which is not unusual when couples have heated arguments. Someone fleeing the police is unlikely to take their dog with them; it's more likely they left the premises to walk the dog and allow things to cool off. You said nothing incriminating on the booking video, and, even if they do or did exist, how would the dashcam or bodycam videos assist in the defense? Had you told the police that you struck Beth, rest assured that they would have put that in their report. Rack your brain to see if there is anything helpful to your defense to be gained by looking at videos of your arrest and ride to the police station; if there's nothing, there's no reason to show them. If you have a distinct recollection of being told about the existence of bodycam footage, please be more specific as to the date and time and persons involved; otherwise this is a dead end, although I will inquire of Attorney Burgos and the Distract Attorney. Keep in mind that the defense has no burden of proof; the commonwealth must prove each element of the case beyond reasonable doubt; we don't have to provide any evidence. Their evidence thus far consists only of Beth's representations to the police, (her written statement is inadmissible); no photos, no medical reports, no observations of obvious bruising; no realistic flight from the police, no incidents while you were arrested, and no incriminating statements. take care, will be in touch

This also doesn’t explain what happened to the camera inside the vehicle, which was the same setup as when officers took me to the emergency room in 2016. I was recently told they weren’t required by law to record at that time, but I distinctly recall being told that the body cam footage did exist.

Is there any way to find out if it was deleted?

I first requested all body cam footage in October 2021 and witnessed the ADA in Worcester handing Attorney Bergo a CD in December of 2023. I believe I’ve been more than accommodating and am within my rights to express my concerns.

I will, of course, be in court on October 15th to address the restraining order.

If you are asking whether there is a video from a body-worn camera, there is not. I spoke with the Warren Police Department and the only video evidence is the booking video. I am not in possession of a transcript of the restraining order hearing from the East Brookfield Court. The evidence that I am in possession of is listed in the notice of discovery that I provided to the defendant and was provided to prior counsel before the case was transferred from East Brookfield. I did provide the same packet of evidence to you and I included the previous competency evaluation.

i forwarded your email of 10/03 to Attorney Banks 10/4 and have received no reply. The two officers mentioned in the report regarding your arrest are named Bouchard and Laflower. The District Attorney reports that she is unaware of any video beyond that of your booking. Again, given that you said or did nothing to hurt your defense, I don't see any point in pursuing this issue. As you were charged with a domestic assault and battery, be advised that an uncorroborated statement by an alleged victim is enough to provide probable cause for an arrest, ((see Domestic Violence Law Enforcement Guidelines, 1917, Section Eight, pages 26-27, available on line). The lack of any additional evidence, (photos, medical reports, etc.), goes to the strength or weakness of the investigation. (I have never understood why an officer wouldn't use his cell phone to document injuries, but I'm not in charge of that.) I am interested in the route you took with your pup. I gather from your You Tube videos that you enjoy the woods, and I am curious as to whether or not the route you took on October 4 was a regular path for your pups walk, or a deviation? How far is your home from Route 67, and would that path be circular, such that you would eventually end up back home? Would Beth be able to answer questions about your regular habits and routes while walking the dog? I ask because this may show the fact finder that you weren't evading the police, just walking the dog to cool off after an argument. My appointment does not include tomorrow's hearing at East Brookfield, but I wish to point out that you will be under oath and the less said about the 10/04/21 incident (except a general denial, if appropriate), the better. (Again, I doubt the D A will investigate, but Beth will likely inform her of what goes on.) Assuming you have had no contact with her for three years, and have located to another city, you may wish to point out that there has been no recent allegations of abuse and that furtheran

I walked north on South st and took a left on to 67 heading towards Palmer, I had a migraine at the time, Beth knew it and she also knew I was headed to my mothers house 18 miles away in Springfield, because I told her that’s where I was going. That’s where I always went when she had these episodes, though this is the first time I ever walked out like this. I wasn’t able to get cell service until I was miles away. I left the house at 9:08am according to the security cam picture and the text I sent my sister didn’t get through to her until 10:20am. I was 5 or 6 miles away by the time police found me at about 11:04. Thankfully my sister arrived shortly after they did, since my dog was terrified. I told officers before they informed me they were gonna place me under arrest, that Beth seemed like she was having a nervous breakdown, the abuse her son suffered was getting to her and I told them she had blocked me in our middle bedroom and refused to let me leave, until I picked my dog up and she changed her mind allowed me to exit. That I never touched her or tried to move her out of the way. I’ve been told that police should have charged Beth with kidnapping for holding me against my will in that upstairs middle bedroom. That a man wouldn’t be allowed to get away with a stunt like that. I was also told Beth should’ve been charged with theft for taking my backpack and refusing to give it back. Kinda hard to prove I said that stuff to officers without those body cam recordings. At least the security cam picture shows I don’t have my backpack , which had my knee, elbow, ankle braces, tooth brush, adhd medication, gloves, telescopic fishing pole, lure box, poncho, fpv drone and it shows I wasn’t running from the house. I’m concerned that body cam video was deleted or just isn’t being handed in. In a previous case I had, an Ada passed in a fake receipt and also claimed it was paid for out of the victims own pocket.

Restraining order was extended, once I saw Beth at the courthouse, I already knew the judge was going to extend the order before we even got up there. Massachusetts doesn’t treat men and women equally when it comes to restraining order decisions. The previous restraining/harassment order I had placed against me, was after I tried to get one against the girl who drove into me while racing around without car insurance. I tried reporting her crimes and getting an harassment order against her for messages she sent and deriving by my house, but because she had family in the courts, my harassment order was turned against me. I was told to stop trying to report her crimes. I know I was discriminated against today, I know there’s nothing I can do but hug my dog and go about my life. It’s heartbreaking and unrighteous the way men are treated in Massachusetts, I understand it’s just the way it is, but it doesn’t make it any less disappointing and to think I used to think our legal system was something to be respected, oh well. Beth being able to block my exit from a room for 30+ minutes, at times threatening to call the cops if I try to push her out of the way, then telling me that if I leave, she’ll never stop and that she hopes that I do kill myself this time. Speaks volumes to how disgustingly one sided things are in our court system. What happened to people with morals and ethics? Imagine if I did still had suicidal thoughts? Beth knew about my 6 past suicide attempts, she knew I saw therapists off and on and had a prescriber, I had been trying to figure out for years why my life would be going great, then I would just fall apart with no explanation. I took Beth to some of my drs appointments, so she knew that I experienced these nervous breakdown type events and knew I wasn’t violent, but I was self injurious at points. It wasn’t until after this alleged incident with Beth and after my father died of cancer June 2022 that I found the pattern I was looking

Had you discussed Beth's actions with any prior counsel? I can inquire of the District Attorney as to whether or not Beth has told her this; If she acknowledges such conduct, then she may have a 5th amendment right not to testify, and if she invokes that right, your case is likely to be dismissed. Please advise as to how you wish to proceed, as you are on record as saying you have no intent to "attack her".

Yes, I’ve discussed being locked in that bedroom with Attorneys Banks, Dicato( on the phone), O’Doherty and Bergo. Attorney Banks told the ADA about this on the day he asked for money for an investigator and Attorney Bergo told the Worcester ADA about this in December of 2023 after asking for that first competency evaluation and asking her about the body cam footage. I don’t think Attorney McGinty was aware of this, I was focused on trying to gather evidence at that point and constantly being reminded of this traumatic event and being forced to relive it every time I have to talk about it, is very unhealthy for me.

Beth keeping me trapped in that middle bedroom was one of the major reasons behind Attorney Banks asking for money for an investigator in the first place and then for me constantly urging the other attorneys I was assigned to get an investigator to speak to the witnesses I originally listed. Unfortunately for me, no one was ever spoken to, even though I was granted the money to accomplish this task by the courts, no one took anything I said seriously or bothered to follow up on anything I said.

This was the second time in our relationship that Beth followed me into a room, closing a door behind us, refusing to allow me to leave and threatening to call the police if I bumped into her while trying to get by.

The first time something like this happened was in May of 2021 and after this, Beth told multiple people how she felt I did bump into her while I was trying to leave our bedroom, even though she was purposely blocking the exit. She was having a hard time because of things going on with her son and she didn’t want me to leave the house. I stayed this first time and she worked through her issues. Beth told multiple people I had no right to try to get past her.

This second time on October 4, 2021, I made no attempt to get by her or move her out of my way, I just kept repeating- I wanted to leave and she kept saying said that she’d call the cops if I pushed her out of the way. I was in no condition to stay or debate any subjects, it wasn’t until I picked my dog up, right after Beth told me she hopes I kill myself this time, since I wasn’t listening to what she had to say, that she allowed me to leave the room.

The commonwealth shouldn’t be allowed to dismiss my case after everything I’ve been forced to endure. They shouldn’t be allowed to play stupid and pretend that they didn’t know that this happened to me and allow this case to be dismissed 3 years later.

The whole point of me pushing to get copies of that body cam and vehicle audio was to prove I told officers this stuff in the first place. If I had known I wasn’t being recorded during my arrest, I would’ve talked more inside the police station. You can hear me talk in that police station booking video about how officers in the past aided a woman who was committing a crime, all because she had family working in the court system.

Which brings up the question, what types of evidence are police officers allowed to ignore?

How long are police officers allowed to turn a blind eye to crimes being committed by people right in front of them, before they’re held accountable for their failure to uphold our laws?

Am I honestly supposed to believe that both of those officers that day couldn’t operate their body cams properly? That these devices are that confusing to operate?

This body-cam footage would be completely damaging to the commonwealths case against me.

Am I honestly expected to believe that both officers were incapable of activating their body-cams that day?

Beth knew that the last 3 times I tried to kill myself in 2015-16 had been because of the all stress the commonwealth had caused me(and things were probably made worse by being misdiagnosed and prescribed medication that made also worsened my symptoms), from the different organizations that helped cover up a girl driving without car insurance, then the person assigned to my case ADA Johnston created a fake receipt and used it as evidence to claim that a window was paid for, when in fact she was flat out lying when she claimed this driver paid for the window out of her own pocket, I learned through my own investigation that the window wasn’t paid for at all, that driver skipped out on the bill. I learned the statement I typed up, had notarized and handed to an ada after my arraignment was altered by someone in the DA’s office to omit things the police officers who arrested me said to me and that I had documented.

Then I was framed by these people for forgery and coerced into pleading guilty after having some old man place a gun to my forehead, right inside the hallway to my lawyers office in Northampton, all because I uncovered these crimes and people wanted it all swept under the rug. All because I made a big stink about being denied medical attention, police didn’t want me finding out that girl was driving illegally.

This is a disgusting pattern of behavior by the commonwealth, don’t pay attention to any of the crimes we’re committing, just focus on the false allegation made against myself.

The point of the investigator was to prove Beth wasn’t telling the truth and had a pattern of this erratic emotional behavior.

1. Beth lied to the judge about me elbowing her and about my father saying she could have our apartment and that he said I wasn’t allowed back.

My father and I wanted her to get help. We were under the impression that speaking to an investigator about this would help my case and get Beth the help we felt she needs. He died from cancer in June 2022, before giving a statement.

2. Beth still owes me $10,000 for all the work I did with her son and the damage she caused to my car. She told multiple people about this and it was recorded in emails we sent on behalf of Beth’s son.

3. Beth told all her friends and our mutual friends that she wanted me to be co-guardian of her son Stephen, because of all the positive work I was doing with him and for him. At this time she was also pushing me to get my record expunged, since the commonwealth violated my rights and broke the law to gain those convictions. These conversations were had with everyone we know, I never shut up about how corrupt our legal system and worthless our state and local leaders are. I’ve told people about all the issues I’ve had.

4. Beth has told numerous people about the time she thinks I bumped into her while trying to exit our bedroom, even though she was purposely blocking the door.

5. Beth spoke to people about all the severe stress she was under because of the abuse that was allowed to continue happening to her son. She felt helpless and responsible for his continued suffering in these Massachusetts funded groups homes.

6. I asked for copies of those emails that I sent on Beth’s behalf, in these emails it’s evident that the state ignored all of our concerns about the safety and well being of Beth’s son Stephen and other disabled people in the care of the organizations I contacted. These emails I sent show a pattern of behavior by the state and its associates that caused Beth severe anxiety, emotional distress, countless sleepiness nights and caused problems in her personal relationships and in our relationship.

I am totally against the commonwealth being allowed to dismiss my case, they (police officers, Ada’s, court appointed lawyers) have a history of tampering with evidence, withholding evidence, turning a blind eye to serious crimes, helping people commit crimes, ignoring people’s mental health issues, denying people medical attention.

I want a trial, even if Beth doesn’t testify, I should still be able to present witnesses that Beth has displayed this type of behavior in the past. I should be able to show jurors that police arrested me without gathering any evidence to back up their so called probable cause claim, when they had the tools necessary with them. Citizens have a right to know this disgusting behavior is going on and how trying to do something about it is a horrible uphill battle. I thought our legal system was supposed to set an example, not destroy the public’s trust.

Allowing the commonwealth to dismiss my case after all these years and after ignoring everything I’ve been saying since day one and after putting me through all these nonsense and forcing my disabled ass to drive back and forth to court for nothing, just to be given new dates to return, is an abuse of power, abuse of a disabled person( Myself). This is disgusting unconscionable behavior and it shouldn’t be tolerated.

Also concerning this competency evaluations. It seems to me that the true purpose behind this second request is not to genuinely assess my mental capacity, but rather to delay proceeding and divert attention away from the serous legal and ethical violations I have brought to light.

The issue at hand is not a question of my competency, morals, ethics or logic. Instead, I believe the court is attempting to shield itself from accountability, given the laws I’ve shown to be broken and the crimes I have shown to be committed. This is not a case of confusion or doubt about my mental state- this is an evasion of the truth.

Subject: Re:

It’s heartbreaking and unrighteous the way men are treated in Massachusetts, I understand it’s just the way it is, but it doesn’t make it any less disappointing and to think I used to think our legal system was something to be respected, oh well.

Beth being able to block my exit from a room for 30+ minutes, at times threatening to call the cops if I try to push her out of the way, then telling me that if I leave, she’ll never stop and that she hopes that I do kill myself this time. Speaks volumes to how disgustingly one sided things are in our court system.

What happened to people with morals and ethics? Imagine if I did still had suicidal thoughts? Beth knew about my 6 past suicide attempts, she knew I saw therapists off and on and had a prescriber, I had been trying to figure out for years why my life would be going great, then I would just fall apart with no explanation. I took Beth to some of my drs appointments, so she knew that I experienced these nervous breakdown type events and knew I wasn’t violent, but I was self injurious at points.

It wasn’t until after this alleged incident with Beth and after my father died of cancer June 2022 that I found the pattern I was looking for and No it never involved hitting or putting my hands on someone else. I’ve hurt myself in the past, which I’m sure is unsettling enough to people as it is, but I’ve never put my hands on woman or tried to force them to talk to me by preventing them from leaving a situation they feel is making them uncomfortable.

It’s unfortunate that no one around me paid enough attention to what was going on to see that my thyroid was off again.

I go from being confident, assertive, a real problem solver, to being low energy and I won’t stick up for what’s right, I just run away from any issues, simple tasks seems impossible and I tell people what they want to know and answer questions without thinking of the consequences. Which unfortunately is what led to Beth calling police and lying about me elbowing her. I’m positive that stuff I said to her broke her heart and she had no clue why I left, we weren’t having any issues at all, so from her point of view, I just abandoned her and wanted out for no reason.

Which brings me to something else I was told, it was mentioned we should have had a judge with a psychology degree presiding over our case. I can’t recall exactly how it was worded.

Seeing that Beth appears to be suffering from delusions still.

In all the times I’ve tried to hurt myself, I’ve escaped the hospital twice, I tried to strangle myself two different times, years apart and while locked in different psych wards, during these events I was having an irrational fear of being confined.

Yet I’ve never put my hands on people or tried to hurt anyone, other than myself.

At age 9 while in Catholic school I was locked in a utility closet throughout the day most school weeks, I was let out at times, but it traumatized me, this was a driving force behind me getting Beth’s son out of the closets at the school he was in years ago. I was passionate about helping in situations people like me.

There are three options here.

1, I hit Beth for no reason and I’m a liar

2. Beth is a bold faced liar.

3. Beth is delusional and this situation was too much for her and she made up this story to deal with it.

I’m going to go with 3, I know the courts won’t look into anything or investigate any claims and they don’t care about Beth’s mental health or anyone’s really. But I’ve felt she’s needed help since the day this happened. Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t have needed to get out of the house and away from her. I would normally talk to her until she passed out, it was totally unlike me to refuse to debate a topic with her.

I know the courts are going to try to claim Beth wasn’t under any stress and she didn’t have any reasons to make up a story, but that’s only because they don’t want the whole truth.

I’m not going to call her a liar without telling the entire story behind what happened. I never would’ve left the house that day if I was healthy, but I wasn’t and I unfortunately can’t control my desire to flee these types situations when my thyroid is off.

That judge today is sexist, it sends a message to men that we don’t have a right to walk away from women if a situation is making feel uncomfortable or unsafe. We have to stay and take the abuse or risk being arrested without any evidence. What kind of state do we live in?

That I never touched her or tried to move her out of the way.

I’ve been told that police should have charged Beth with kidnapping for holding me against my will in that upstairs middle bedroom. That a man wouldn’t be allowed to get away with a stunt like that.

I was also told Beth should’ve been charged with theft for taking my backpack and refusing to give it back.

Kinda hard to prove I said that stuff to officers without those body cam recordings. At least the security cam picture shows I don’t have my backpack , which had my knee, elbow, ankle braces, tooth brush, adhd medication, gloves, telescopic fishing pole, lure box, poncho, fpv drone and it shows I wasn’t running from the house.

I’m concerned that body cam video was deleted or just isn’t being handed in.

In a previous case I had, an Ada passed in a fake receipt and also claimed it was paid for out of the victims own pocket. Then I found out it was all lies, I learned I was denied medical attention to cover up a girl driving without car insurance and I did try to report it, but that girl has a sister and cousin who happen to work at the Hampden county court house. So not only was there a conflict of interest, especially seeing a notarized statement I handed in was altered without my consent, but the police and ada violated the Brady disclosure by continuously denying me the name of her car insurance company, cause they knew she didn’t have it at the time of this accident.

I find it disgusting that this prosecutor is going to ask a jury to believe an officer, who is willing to risk ruining someone’s life and potentially getting them tossed in jail for up to two and a half years, but that same officer isn’t willing to take a picture or get statements from nearby potential witnesses to support this charge. Laziness? Indifference?

The judge who approved this restraining order never asked Beth about her injury or made any notice of redness on her face. Whether from being hit or from being upset, you would think someone would note something like that, if they witnessed it.

Attorney banks said the commonwealth change these domestic assault charge requirements because regular citizens were complaining that to many people with money were getting away with abuse, so they made it super easy to arrest citizens without any evidence or any witness statements to support these assault claims.

To me to is disgusting, immoral, unethical, unacceptable behavior by the commonwealth.

As you were charged with a domestic assault and battery, be advised that an uncorroborated statement by an alleged victim is enough to provide probable cause for an arrest, ((see Domestic Violence Law Enforcement Guidelines, 1917, Section Eight, pages 26-27, available on line). The lack of any additional evidence, (photos, medical reports, etc.), goes to the strength or weakness of the investigation. (I have never understood why an officer wouldn't use his cell phone to document injuries, but I'm not in charge of that.)

I am interested in the route you took with your pup. I gather from your You Tube videos that you enjoy the woods, and I am curious as to whether or not the route you took on October 4 was a regular path for your pups walk, or a deviation? How far is your home from Route 67, and would that path be circular, such that you would eventually end up back home? Would Beth be able to answer questions about your regular habits and routes while walking the dog? I ask because this may show the fact finder that you weren't evading the police, just walking the dog to cool off after an argument.

My appointment does not include tomorrow's hearing at East Brookfield, but I wish to point out that you will be under oath and the less said about the 10/04/21 incident (except a general denial, if appropriate), the better. (Again, I doubt the D A will investigate, but Beth will likely inform her of what goes on.) Assuming you have had no contact with her for three years, and have located to another city, you may wish to point out that there has been no recent allegations of abuse and that furtherance of the restraining order is unnecessary, particularity in light of the stay away order that is part of the criminal case. Please keep me informed and good luck.

So whether Beth has a Fifth Amendment right or not, I will not press the issue if you don't wish me to do so; if it does come to light, it will be up to her to decide whether to invoke it or not, but I conclude that you do not wish to pursue this possible avenue of defense. Please let me know if I am in error on that. If you do wish to see her held accountable for such conduct, the only avenues I see are to contact the Warren Police and make a complaint, (kidnapping and larceny from a person are felonies, and the statute of limitations for being charged is six years), or go to the East Brookfield District Court and seek a private complaint through a magistrate's hearing. I don't know how successful either route would be, but that's all I have. This morning I phoned the Warren Police Department and was told that Officer LaFlower is no longer employed there, and is now in Florida. The Lieutenant I spoke with assured me that in 2021 the police department did not have bodycam. That should be the final word on its availability. I understand both Chief Millette and Officer Bouchard will be the only officers testifying. Although I doubt it will exercise it, The Commonwealth has the absolute power to discontinue the prosecution of this case. Look up the term NOLLE PROSSE and also read the case of Commonwealth vs. Michael Cheney, (type in 440 Mass. 568, click the entry from JUSTIA and see page 573).

I really wish you would’ve emailed the Warren police instead of speaking on the phone. I really want someone to look into this now. The Officers who arrested me both said they had body cams on at the time of my arrest, that I was being recorded in the vehicle also, both on the ride to the warren station and on the ride to the state police barracks, I was told that they were recording me inside the warren police station, I don’t recall if state police said they recorded me. Attorney Banks told me that he received the body cam footage and we were going to set a date to meet at his office to listen to it, that never happened. I questioned Attorney Bergo about this and he was always vague with his responses. So I called the warren police department while at the worcester court house, I was told on the phone that Warren police officers were wearing body cams that day, even though it wasn’t required by law at the time, they were testing out the devices. Attorney Bergo heard the phone call I made, I followed the officers instructions the officer gave me and emailed her with my request. I drove to the Warren police department that same day and filled out a paper version, asking for all audio and video from the day of my arrest October 4, 2021 and I also asked for the recordings from my 2016 trip to the E.R. that warren police gave me as well. The officer at the station told me that there must’ve been an issue with the recordings from October 4, I can’t recall his exact words, but those bodycam recordings weren’t there.

I do not share your distrust of those involved in the criminal justice system, so I don't need written verification of what was told to me by the Warren Police regarding the bodycam. Feel free to email them yourself and see how they respond. I am curious about the state police involvement in your arrest, as I have received no evidence or reports describing it. Did you go with them to the barracks before or after your arrest and booking at the Warren police department? I'm curious why they would be involved at all, and the District Attorney informed me that she had no information about them. Perhaps you can contact the Brookfield and /or Sturbridge SP barracks, (I assume either would have jurisdiction in that area) and see if an incident report exists; They didn't file charges against you, or they would be listed as complainant. Very curious, please, enlighten, but again, I don't see how the existence of any of their videos changes the defense position of making the commonwealth try to prove their case. Will you be obtaining and posting the recording of the October 15 restraining order hearing? As you had brought up Beth's actions, I'm curious if she responded to the accusation in any way. Your statement about them also allows me to bring the issue to the District Attorney's attention without breaching any attorney/client privilege, so the 5th amendment issue can be addressed (of course, if Beth simply denied your allegation, no basis exists to explore any 5th amendment rights she may have.) Comet was disappointing, but cool. Off for a day or so, please let me know if you contact SP or post hearing recording. take care.

I ordered the audio from the restraining order hearing and haven’t received it yet. I’ll put it online with commentary once I get it.

I contacted the state police and the trooper I spoke to said he’s not sure if there was any body cam or other recordings inside the booking area at that time, but you could request it all and they’ll send whatever they have. He also said that I would need to go to court to address the kidnapping and theft charge after all these years. It’s horrifying how disabled people have to go above and beyond when trying to defend their rights. If you can’t request that State police footage, I will, just let me know.

I contacted the Disability Law Center and I am waiting to hear back from them, perhaps they can help me with the kidnapping and theft charge against Beth. If not I will try to address it when I make the trip to worcester in November.

I will also ask the DLC about an investigation into the warren police departments handling of the body cam footage. If they can’t help, I will try the FBI, since I have been told three different stories surrounding this footage, I’m not willing to go to trial until I have exhausted all of options investigating it.

I rushed to trial over that malicious damage to a motor vehicle charge, since I didn’t attack that vehicle and I thought it was all a big misunderstanding, yet I was still found guilty with zero evidence against me. Then I found out that the evidence I had asked for would’ve changed my entire defense strategy.

If you discovered that a assistant district attorney handed a fake receipt to a judge in a case and lied about it being paid for in one of your cases, I need to give me the contact information to who you would report that incident to.

You can see how this would drive someone with mental issues to hurt themselves. This is exactly how things went when I tried to get the name of that girls insurance company years ago , I learned that police allowed that girl to commit a crime.

Now you’re telling me that those police should’ve charged Beth for kidnapping and theft for what she did to me and once again police officers arrest the man that’s involved without any evidence and totally ignore what the girl involved has done and there’s evidence to support her committing a crime.

I understand your position on the competency evaluation, though I don’t think you appreciate all the pain and suffering this type of nonsense causes me. Years ago the court sent me to what I can only describe as a Fake Anger Management class and made me pay for it, this was after that malicious damage to a motor vehicle conviction.

Now they’re pushing these nonsensical competency evaluations upon me and not because they actually question my competence, but because I actually look at the big picture and pay attention to details.

I already know I’m not going to get a fair trial, the state is going to try to limit everything I say and distance themselves from any blowback

As far as Beth’s 5th amendment rights, you can mention this stuff to whoever you need to. I don’t like secrets or surprises, I don’t imagine the courts do either.

I do think Beth needs to be charged, that type of behavior is totally unacceptable, but there’s zero chance of me going back before that East Brookfield judge again, during that restraining order extension hearing Tuesday, she made faces when I was talking about how Beth blocked me in that bedroom and wouldn’t let me leave. That Sexist judge thinks it’s okay for this stuff to happen to men.

Should I call the warren police? Given the fact that I already told them the day this happened, I don’t see why they would all of a sudden care if I told them about it again. They obviously didn’t listen to anything I said.

Take care, the foliage has been nice this year, if you have binoculars, look west after 6:30pm, that Comet should be brighter now that the moon isn’t so high in the sky.

hi; could you check with the warren police, and whomever else, as to what involvement, (if any), the state police had in the defendant's arrest? He maintains that he went to their barracks and that they gave him a blanket. If they were involved at all, (happening to drive by and checking if assistancewas needed, or because the arrest was on a state highway (67), that they perhaps have jurisdiction over}, there should be some record, particularilly if they transported the defendant. A definite answer should resolve issues about bodycam or dash cam videos. I'm guessing the brookfield barracks, but perhaps Sturbridge or Charlton has warren in its path. Thanks, please keep me informed; Second issue: Is there any indication of a 5th amendment issue for the alleged victim? It has been publicly stated that she would not let him leave the premises and confiscated his backpack; has she acknowledged this conduct? Finally, the competency exam question must be addressed on the 13th. I attempted to hire a private doctor, but he declined to participate . I did not seek this exam, so I imagine the court will order a further in court examination that day. Assuming competency is not an issue, I hope we'll be ready to choose a trial date. Thanks, see you soon. Be advised that all emails are being forwarded to the defendant.

if you want it, you should order any state police footage. Even if it exists, I don;t see how it assists in the defense. Any complaints that you are seeking against Beth as a result of the October 21 incident are in the jurisdiction of the East Brookfield District Court, and will not be entertained in Worcester in November. Hopefully you will have exhausted all investigative options by November 13,a after the Competency exam issue is resolved, I I will be reporting discovery as being complete for defense purposes.

Then attorney Banks never sent an investigator to question anyone about Beth’s behavior, not even Sue or Olivia who were in the house at the time of this alleged incident, I was told I need to keep pointing out that this behavior also keeps me from having a fair trial. Especially since Beth went next door to speak to my step mother Sue before or right after she called police, I don’t recall which.

Someone placed a gun to my head and took the files I was bringing to my previous Attorney Elaine Pourinski. It happened in the hallway right outside her office, she was dealing with that forgery charge I was coerced into pleading guilty for. She was adamant that I don’t call 911 and report this incident to police, she claimed she was also terrified and there was nothing that could be done about this. She complained about her knee as well. This all came about because I discovered that ADA Katherine Johnston lied about that window receipt being paid for and that found the receipt was a forgery, then discovered that my notarized statement that I handed an ADA, was altered by someone in the Hampden DA’s office, I reported that springfield police denied me medical attention, that they deleted information off of my police report and that they aided that driver after she drove into me while I was walking, she was racing around with no car insurance, suspended registration and she had a rejection sticker for safety. I ran my mouth and told everyone at that court house I could, I called the Springfield police captain who basically ignored me, I reported it to state troopers and they gave me that girls suspended license and registration info, but didn’t help me do anything about it. I tried reporting this to the registry of motor vehicles , I called the attorney general and governors office.

In paragraphs 4-9 of your 11/8 email you state you were told several things about the law, procedure, and the power of a district court judge to order investigations; I'd like to contact whomever told you these things. Free legal advice is worth what you pay for it, and it's available everywhere. I am still waiting for a response from the district attorney to my email to her last month. You mentioned that Sue was in the house, but you also told me earlier not to locate her, as she may not be helpful to the defense; is that still the case? Will she be able to testify unequivocally that you didn't stike Beth and /or that Beth wouldn't let you leave and confiscated your back pack? Only you can answer that, but if you do want her to testify, we will need to locate her for summons purposes. Thanks for the transcript of the R O hearing, it provides significant information for cross examination purposes. See you tomorrow, room 23; i understand you may be arriving around mid-morning; You have my cell if anything comes up.

No one has the right to threaten to call the police on me if I don’t do as they order and try to scare me into staying anywhere.

Beth knows I have to listen to my body, I’ve had over a dozen joint surgeries, a disc replaced in my neck, a rod placed in my forearm. She was there for most of these.

Beth knows my hyperthyroidism causes me to become physically weak, very low energy at times.

Beth knows all about how my genetic muscle disorder causes my muscles to break down easily( genetic form of rhabdomyolysis), this can damage my kidneys if left untreated when I over do it, she knows to many repetitive motions with any joint gives me tendinitis, which has been documented and treated with surgery and injections multiple times. She knows that I have knots in my shoulders, neck and jaw that have never gone away, you can easily see the swelling in my right side of my face.

Now my rights are once again being disregarded and your only concern is of who could be informing me of these Laws I need to understand and question?

I can place these emails online and we can see if anyone wishes to reach out to you or if they can choose to comment publicly.

There is still the competency evaluation the judge ordered, I find it hard to believe that this judge would only focus on me and not on the misconduct of anyone else involved.

I can also bring up the issues of mandated reporting with this evaluator.

Let me know what you think.

Regardless Sue could’ve given a statement as to what Beth said to her or described if she heard anything, since she was 10 feet away at the time I left and all of our kitchen windows were open, Both mine and Sue’s. Our dogs would’ve gone nuts if I had even pretended to swing at Beth, let alone actually hit her and Sue would’ve relayed that info to officers.

I’ve been told that my judge could and should order an investigation into these officers and Attorney banks behavior, since I was told what Beth did to me is also considered a hate crime under mass chap 265, section 13K, she knew I was physically disabled and was hoping to scare me into staying by threatening to use the police to hurt me, she was trying to force me to stay, knowing that my disability issues, previous injuries and surgery sites would be severely aggravated by being placed in handcuffs. Beth also didn’t warn police I was physically disabled in her 911 call, I thankfully warned Warren police officers and although they didn’t take my statement and ignored what Beth did to me, they were very gentle with me and my dog when I explained how bad my issues are. Which doesn’t excuse them not taking my statement and possibly lying about that body cam footage, but they weren’t total monsters, just lazy.

I was told that my lawyer could request police body cam logs, that officers have to follow specific protocols when using them and there’s a paper trail to track. That simply taking an officers word for it doesn’t cut it.

Especially since I myself have been told 3 different stories and something like this happened to me before in Hampden county district court. I wrote a statement and had it notarized because police didn’t take my statement about what happened and denied me medical attention, I wanted people to hear my side. then I handed that notarized statement to the first ADA I met after my arrest, I found out around a year later that someone in the district attorney’s office altered my statement by deleting pages and electronically signing my name, all because I wrote what officers said to me in it and how they denied me medical attention, but I also wrote an address they told me, so I knew they accessed CJIS, they knew that driver was committing a crime at the time and officers decided to cover it up.

So I believe that it’s possible Warren police deleted that audio because it implicated them in a hate crime, I told warren officers Beth was holding me against my will, refusing to let me leave, then she was threatening to call the cops, that she said she’d never stop and that she told me she does hope I kill myself this time. Beth is well aware that I received disability for a closed period because of past mental health issues, before getting placed on it permanently for the genetic muscle disorder. Beth knows I had spent multiple times in a psych ward for attempted suicide, we talked about this with my family multiple times. The warren police know about my suicide attempts, they brought me to the ER the last time I was suicidal. So both Beth and the Warren police know I’m not violent and have a history of hurting myself.

I told both the warren police and those Brookfield troopers about Beth taking my backpack and refusing to give it back, I even tried pleading with them about the fact that I didn’t try to snatch it back from her because she constantly talked about having physical issues and I assumed she’d claim I injured her if I tried to yank it away, plus I myself didn’t want to get injured, I have enough issues already, so I left without it.

I remember how hurt I felt when officers wouldn’t grab my backpack from her, they told me I had to wait for court and speak to my lawyer. State troopers offered the same advice, oh well she took my stuff, just live with it.

I was told police should’ve recovered my backpack because it had my medication in it. Beth even acknowledge I was on medication in her 911 call and that picture police obtained from the neighbors shows that I don’t have my backpack with my medication.

I was told that police don’t have a right to ignore a disabled person making kidnapping and theft claims, that they were required to take my statement and should’ve charged Beth, that refusing to do their jobs that day was a violation of my rights and prevents me from having a fair hearing. What Beth did to me was assault, she put me in fear of having the police hurt me, then the warren officers came and followed her instructions and they put their hands on me, which made it assault and battery.

I was told to ask if Attorney Banks should’ve excused himself over a conflict of interest because he was dealing with an abuse case in the same house Beth’s son lived in and I had filled multiple reports of abuse and neglect on her sons behalf.

Fri, Dec 20, 2024 at 8:28 PM

Message Body

I got your response from the investigator, I’m surprised Oliver/Olivia would lie about being in the apartment. I know for a fact she was in her room, she’s the reason I didn’t finish the dishes the night before this alleged assault. And it’s in Beth’s impact statement.

I can see Sue saying she wasn’t in the apartment since technically she lived next door, even though she was in her kitchen when I left, less than 10 feet away, if I had elbowed Beth at the sink, she would’ve made some kind of noise or raised her voice for me to get out. That would’ve totally freaked our dogs out. My dog still doesn’t like if people play fight, she’ll bark like crazy.

Here are copies of the complaints I filed against attorneys Banks, O’Doherty and Bergo. I was told to mail these and my notes to the office of bar counsel. Hopefully this will prevent what happened to me from happening to other people too.

If you’re interested I can also forward you the emails I sent myself in October of 2021.

When I read all of this, I can clearly see how I drove Beth insane that morning. My hyperthyroidism causes personality changes that I wasn’t aware of at the time. I walked out on her for no real reason, I didn’t know I was having a panic attack at the time either and people were acting strange, so I can see how in that moment I felt like the world was crashing down, everything was doom and gloom and I just needed to get away.

I didn’t want to start fights or argue with anyone, I totally lacked any type of confidence that morning. Beth tried to reason with me, but I wasn’t listening.

As far as Beth is concerned, there was no logical reason for me to ignore her that morning, she had been an amazing girlfriend up until I stopped listening to her when talking about my father and she got super frustrated and started saying horrible shit. But I just ignored it. She was trying her hardest to get me to argue with her, she wanted me to tell her what was wrong, give her something more to go on, cause up until that morning things were great. But I just repeated things she had said.

Beth was always high strung as it was, she’d been through a lot and my running off was a nightmare come true. I know I caused her to have a panic attack too that morning. The things she was saying and the gestures she made while struggling to get me to talk are clear to me now, I say this cause I knew her for 5 years.

There was no immediate issue to address that day, but she wanted to continue talking and I felt like I needed to leave. Neither of us would give.

Which looking back with a healthy mental perspective is totally heartbreaking.

Beth and I used to talk about everything, we talked about our hopes, our dreams, our nightmares and we had plans for the future. I never ignored her, I always encouraged her to talk and share her feelings. We used to talk for hours on end. I never said it was over or I couldn’t take things anymore, when Beth need space, I gave it to her, when she wanted to talk, I was always there.

I was warned about putting to much of my defense online. Slippery slope I’m walking here. But ever since day one I said Beth seemed like she needed a mental health evaluation because of the way she was acting and things she was saying that morning. Now I know I can prove it, unfortunately it’s because of the way I was acting and the things I said. I never touched her and she never touched me. If she did, it might’ve snapped me out of it.

Beth had been through a lot and was barely holding it together as it was, her son was being neglected at his new home, then there’s the stuff in victim impact statement you said isn’t admissible, but I am going to use it.

Beth and I were best friends until I ran out on her and she lied about being elbowed. Now that I’m healthy, I feel like the courts are trying to force me to fight my best friend, but the courts and previous lawyers are the ones who have caused me the most stress and my case the biggest problems. I’m lucky to be alive given my past mental health issues.

I also feel like someone should alert her therapist or have her therapist there in court for her when I say all this stuff.

Thank you for keeping me informed. I will appear by zoom and text you if I have any issues logging in tomorrow.

I am very disappointed Warren police haven’t responded by now, they’ve had audio and video recording devices in their vehicles since at least January 2016, along with the body cameras they were wearing in October of 2021. I don’t understand how they are unable to provide paperwork showing training and/or maintenance/installation logs for these devices.

There must be other instances where the warren police department used body cam footage to defend its actions or convict someone in other court cases.

A crime was committed against me and police officers made things worse by ignoring me when I reported what Beth said. She should’ve been charged and wasn’t. I spoke to police before and after they read me my rights.

I find this highly concerning because police know I’ve been suicidal in the past, they acknowledged this fact in my police report under caution type. I’m not listed as violent or aggressive or a threat to anyone, they only listed suicidal. The stress from this situation could’ve caused me to become suicidal, this is totally crazy.

I agreed to give police a statement, I didn’t exercise my right to remain silent and magically nothing was documented or recorded. Police only wrote about Beth in their report. I had a lot more to say than she did.

This is also the second time I’ve had an issue obtaining a recording involving police officers. The first was trying to acquire a copy of my release footage from the Springfield police station years ago. So I’m not really surprised there’s another long standing issue being dragged out.

in my vulnerable state Wednesday i forgot to inquire whether Beth was asked and/or had any response as to whether she prevented Ricky from leaving the premises at any time that day, and/or whether she confiscated his back pack. These allegations were made by Ricky at the restraining order hearing in October of this year, and Ricky maintains he also made them when arrested, although neither police report reflects that.

The Ada also filed a motion to prevent my support dog, she’s in the picture I was provided when I agreed to represent myself.

My dog Harley is a part of this narrative and a jury would need to see her and her behavior when deciding my guilt or innocence.

Fri, Feb 7 at 9:09 AM

Good morning; updates and trial prep time. I know you've been in criminal court before, but as that was some time ago, I'll go over some basics.First, I'm sure you know that as a defendant in a criminal case, you are presumed to be innocent, have an absolute right to remain silent and make the commonwealth prove each element of the charge against you, and that you have absolutely no burden to prove innocence or provide any testimony or evidence. Your trial can be in front of a jury or a judge. With a jury, six people chosen by you and the commonwealth will hear the evidence and be instructed on the law. (The selection process begins with a number of people having been summonsed for duty that day being brought into the courtroom; we have an index card with some basic information about each one; we can challenge any 3 for no reason, and 3 more for cause, as can the d a; ( in this case, the only thing I would be leery of is anyone that might have had prior issues with domestic abuse); seven are chosen, although only six get to deliberate.)Their function is to listen to the testimony and view any evidence presented. They will be instructed that the d a has the burden to prove each element of the crime you are charged with beyond a reasonable doubt. They are also instructed about your lack of burden to prove anything, your right to remain silent and force the government to try to prove their allegations, and what the term reasonable doubt means. At the close of the evidence and after closing statements, they will retire to deliberate. Their verdict is either GUILTY or NOT GUILTY, and must be unanimous. You may also decide to have the case heard and decided by a judge alone, who knows the law and its burdens, but will make the decisions about the strength and weaknesses of the evidence presented, and ultimately, whether the da has proven the case. This is totally your decision, as is your decision to testify, and it's not something in my judgment that you can decide until

I’ll leave Harley home. I still feel like she is evidence in my case. Her behavior would show jurors how she doesn’t like violence, but she’s also kind of heavy and my back wouldn’t enjoy carrying her for hours. I am right handed. If I’m not going to testify, I’d be very interested in the questions you’re going to ask police and Beth. Seeing there’s zero physical evidence to suppose this claim and I wasn’t mad at Beth when I left that morning. I was having a panic attack and afraid. She knows my mental health history and knows I’ve never been violent towards others and she’s very aware of the times I hurt myself. Police didn’t take statements from anyone at the scene about noise or pictures of Beth’s alleged injuries, so they were just going through the motions. They had to arrest me no matter what once Beth made that phone call and claimed I elbowed her. Her phone call and statement are probable cause, there was no physical evidence to support her claim. Beth had a laundry list of physical issues at the time and she never once complained that they were aggravated by this alleged assault. She didn’t try to push me away when I pinned her against the counter, then elbowed her. I always wondered if she’s claiming I hit her while her back was turned. Her story lacks so many details.

I understand both the Chief and Officer Bouchard will be available to testify, as well as Beth. From the chief I expect to estaablish that he saw no injuries on Beth, and that she explained her red face by tears and a rash. He can verify, if necessary, that the alleged stroke was reported to be to her lower right jaw area. Officer Bouchard can attest that he met you on route 67, (in the direction of Springfield via 20), that your sister came and picked up Harley, that your arrest was uneventful, and in fact that you were both cordial and cooperative, as is shown on the booking video.

I expect Beth will testify as is reported by the chief; areyou left handed? It occurs to me that a strike in the lower right jaw would more naturally come from a left arm than the right. An intentional strike would more naturally come from your more active arm; just something that occurs to me. I don't intend to get into great detail about the cause of the argument or any subsequent court hearings and I don't want to bring up any restraining order evidence (a judge can discount such evidence, but a jury or juror may be concerned that a court issued an order against you). My intention is to keep this as simple as possible , focusing on October 4, 2021, and make the commonwealth try to prove their case, which in my judgment, is weak.

I don't suggest that you testify or offer any evidence. The only purpose of your testimony would be to deny the allegation, which you have already done so by pleading not guilty. If you take the stand, you are subject top cross examination, and there is no need for you to put yorself in that position. Keep in mind you need to prove nothing.

Please dress well, so that either the judge or jury knows you ae taking this seriously; this also conveys respect.

I don't suggest bringing Harley, although neither myself nor the d a have any personal objection. Be prepared to verify that Harley is a "service animal" rather than an emotional support pup, as I understand there is different criteria, and you may have a problem with the officers at the doorway; I would bring medical verification thar Harley's presence is needed if you bring him/ her, but I suggest frankly that she not attend; she may distract jurors, and we don't need that.

That's what I have for now; going over some stuff, we can touch base just before trial or whenever you like. Stay warm.

Subject: ricky stebbins case 4/4

i've just reviewed his latest you tube post summarizing his view on the state of this case. Despite his aspersions as to your integrity, Mr. Stebbins has publicly posted that he trusts no one involved in this case, so I believe we should all do our jobs as best we can, knowing that. I suggest we inquire of the police as to existence and/or records of dashcam footage in 2016; ( I would be amenable to a zoom or 3 way call if that will satisfy everyone; I don't know if the chief was even on the force then, but there should be some record or absence thereof that can put this issue to rest). While the defense has no burden of proof, and I always believe that the less evidence presented to a fact finder the better, Ricky obviously sincerely believes that the dashcam existed in 2016, (and I have no reason to think he's not sincere in this belief), so perhaps some information can be found to address this issue. Thanks, I'm writing this on Saturday, ln know you won't see it till Monday.

Warren body cam response

Ricky Stebbins

To: Christopher

Tue, Jan 14 at 8:14 PM

I received the Warren Police Departments response you mailed me. I am very disappointed to see this is just their Policies and Procedures. I feel like this should’ve been given to you before court, so I could have viewed it and made any comments. I don’t believe this is what was said in court the other day and it doesn’t actually settle the question. This paperwork implies officers were using body cameras after July 1, 2021 for training purposes, before being required to wear them full time March 2022. It doesn’t state they weren’t wearing them. There is no mention of their training dates or if officers used them after their training was complete to keep in the habit, even though it may not have been officially required yet. Just because they weren’t required to officially start using bodycams until March 2022, doesn’t mean that they weren’t required to keep and hand over the videos made during their training period. The fact that the officers were training at the time wouldn’t exclude these videos as evidence at trial. Officers both told me they were wearing body cams and recording when they approached me, this paperwork doesn’t claim they weren’t wearing them and weren’t recording when I was arrested. I find this type of behavior by court representatives and these types of responses highly concerning and intentional. It erodes public confidence in state employees to do their jobs appropriately and effectively. Warren officers documented me being suicidal in their police report, I assumed it was from the first time I was transported by them to the hospital in 2016. They had audio and video recorders in their vehicles at this time, yet there’s no mention of this in their generic policies and procedures. Where is their old policies and procedures? Not the new July 2021 updated version. This is concerning to me because officers approached me parking on the wrong side of the road and activated their lights, so that should’ve triggered the ve

I know you want to make this simple, but I’m not going to ignore that mumbled dash-cam comment. Ada White knows that’s a lie and she intentionally misled that judge.

Even if those officers body-cams both magically failed to activate, which I doubt. The in-vehicle system was functioning.

Where is the in-vehicle policies and procedures paperwork?

Ada White knew about the in-vehicle system when attorney Bergo told her by the elevators 1-10-2024. I told Bergo the warren police came to my house after I escaped the emergency room after a suicide attempt. I hide in the first floor closet and then officers placed me in protective custody. One officer told me I was lucky he didn’t shoot me because there was a machete on the floor in the closet. That caused me to panic even more. When we got to the vehicle, it had a recording system, I asked the officer all about it and then I told him about the issues I was having in Hampden county court. Knowing I was being recorded January 19, 2016 was a huge relief, since I was so sick at the time. I tried to commit suicide 3 times within 4 months. I talked the entire ride back to the emergency room in Palmer.

This story was one of the reasons attorney Bergo requested that competency evaluation. Along with telling me Beth said the “abuse of her disabled son” that I’ve been talking about didn’t happen. Ada White told him Beth claims I made it up. This is why I wanted those emails. I really thought that competency evaluation was because people thought I was losing my mind.

This behavior on ada Whites part is malicious and intentional. She’s been jerking me around since I was transferred to Worcester.

Which still hasn’t been explained to me. East Brookfield is less of a hassle for me.

White stated she called the day before court last month. She knew I wanted things on paper. I should been given time to read that policies and procedures before court. Judge Ginsburg said some things and I know her instructions weren’t followed.

I asked for dash-cam footage documentation to be in writing back in December of 2023, attorney Bergo dragged his feet after giving me a speech about things needing to move ahead swiftly in July of 2023.

Then he and ada White jerked me around on 1-10-2024 by requesting a competency evaluation.

I added a picture of a email with attorney McGinty. Not to be rude cause he’s your friend. But he should’ve looked into ada Whites statement. Leading me to believe it could be false, then doing nothing about it. He could’ve had someone go to the station and take a video of the program and the date in question. Problem solved.

Pics are out of order, but there’s 4 pics 1 to Alex, 1 from Alex, 1 from McGinty.

I added 1 of the email I sent to warren police on 1-10-2024, to show judge Ginsburg I been doing my own leg work since January 2024 and I’ve been getting nowhere.

I also drove to the warren police station and requested “in writing” all footage from 10-4-2021 and the ride to the emergency room on 1-19-2016. I never got a response back. No explanation, nothing.

Message Body

Before I begin again, I would like to thank you for following up on all of this the way you have. I do appreciate it.

In order to make this simple; here are 4 things I would like and why. This should help streamline everything.

1 • I would like someone to take a video while they use the Warren police departments computer and scan their program for any body-cam, dash-cam and in-vehicle recording device uploads. I’d like this video to cover 5 different dates.

1.1 • Dash-Cam or In-Vehicle recordings from 9-30-2015 and 1-19-2016

1.2 • Body-cam, Dash-Cam or In-Vehicle recordings from October 4, 16 and 24, 2021.

These first two videos cover my second trio of suicide attempts. With the first of these attempts on 9-30-2015. Warren officers arrived at my home at 176 south st and then I was transported to the Ware emergency room by ambulance after cutting myself.

Then the third of this trio/my last ever suicide attempt on 1-19-2016, two warren officers arrived at my home, placed me in protective custody, then one officer gave me a ride back to the emergency room in Palmer, since I had escaped and went back home to Warren. I saw myself on the dash screen during this trip back, it displayed the in-vehicle camera the warren police were using and the officer described how it recorded audio and video when I asked. I didn’t notice if a camera also pointed outside also. I was just worried about my safety inside the vehicle. I wasn’t under arrest, he didn’t treat me like a prisoner, but he did warn me I was lucky he didn’t shoot me in the closet. I had drank some rat poison, but I didn’t feel any worse than I did before drinking it. My memory was still functioning just fine. I was suffering from a panic attack from hyperthyroidism and drs hadn’t made me aware I even had it yet.

Regarding the 2021 footage.

If there was body-cam footage from the 2 officers who arrived at South st 10-4-2021 and spoke with Beth, it would really help my defense to get an idea of her state of mind. It would show how she looked, we could hear how she sounded. Was Beth still holding my backpack when officers arrived??? Did Beth say anything to officers that cast doubt on her 911 elbow statement or did she say anything to implicate herself in a crime? Did Beth tell officers she hopes I kill myself??? Did Beth display signs of suffering a mental health crisis?

Police told me Beth claimed I elbowed her “by accident”, did Beth really say that? Why didn’t police take pictures? All things that could be answered by that footage.

— I was told by attorney Banks that he received this body-cam footage and it showed officers speaking with Sue Stebbins who lives next door in apartment A. I would like to know if Sue did speak to police and if she said anything that helped my situation. I’m surprised police didn’t document anyone else being in the house —

2• Can someone ask Sue if she remembers speaking to those officers on 10-4-2021 or if Beth said anything to her before or after calling police that would led a jury to believe that accidental elbow event didn’t happen?

I wasn’t paying attention, but officer Guzik might have been wearing a body-cam on 10-16-2021. That day I had paid for an officer to stand watch as my family and I packed my things for 3 hours.

Officer Guzik was also the responding officer when I returned on 10-24-2021 to exchange some final items with Beth, both happened at 176 South st. Did officer Guzik call in her miles like other officers do? We would hear this in any in-vehicle or body-cam footage.

There should be a record of these events being recorded, nothing being recorded or if this footage was deleted after being uploaded. If the program doesn’t keep a record of deleted footage, that would be a huge problem. If that’s the case It could’ve been stated and proven years ago, then I could’ve moved on.

3• I would like this 911 alert I received explained. (Picture attached)

I received this 911 alert on my phone 10-24-2021 from number (413) 310-4993. attorneys Banks, ODoherty and Bergo all said they’d find where the call originated, if the call was cut off before it got through to dispatch or if police or dispatch responded to this call in any way. I told these attorneys I believed Beth used one of her sons devices to attempt to get me to contact her or get me to have an officer pass along the alert message. At the time I thought Beth was testing to see if I was mad at her or if I would help her son and tell someone. The alert popped up on my phone as I waited for an officer to arrive so I could drop off her stuff. There’s a reason why I didn’t tell officer Guzik about the alert when she arrived, if there’s a recording of this event, you’ll hear what she said to me.

4• I would also like written proof from Beth stating that she told ada White that her son wasn’t abused and I didn’t send any emails on his behalf.

That was a major reason I agreed to take that competency evaluation. I actually took a step back and considered I could’ve imagined my relationship with Beth, because I was sick at the time I walked out and I didn’t know it. Though I’ve never hallucinated before, I considered it, since my behavior does change.

These emails were part of the discussion I had with judge Ginsburg on 8-5-2025. Ada White stated that day “she thinks she’s aware of what I’m asking for.” Of course she’s aware, she told Alex Bergo on 1-10-2024 that Beth said I made those emails and abuse stories up.

I don’t ever want to go before a judge again without proof I did everything humanly possible to gather and request every piece of evidence I believe I am entitled to have for trial, to do so in writing and to explain why, just as judge Ginsburg stated. I don’t know what my previous attorneys issues were. But I did try doing things their way and it got me nowhere.

If there’s any issues with these 4 things, computer video, Sue questions, 911 Alert explanation and written email/abuse comment verification. We have weeks to

I only added one pic , it’s of that 911 alert I received from one of Beth’s son’s devices, I don’t recall the location displayed on the screen when I received this alert. This was the first and last alert I’ve ever received from him, even though you can still see his location, so I haven’t been removed as an emergency contact.

This isn’t just about ada White. Those officers should have charged Beth that day. They chose not to. Officers read me my rights in the road and I agreed to continue talking. This isn’t reflected in any of their reports. We were in the road talking for almost 20 minutes. They waited for my sister to arrive to pick up my dog.

I used this time to plead my case. I told officers I didn’t hit Beth, she didn’t hit me. She followed me around downstairs saying I should hit her if I’m so unhappy. Then followed me upstairs and held me against my will for a half hour or more. Then told me she’s gonna call the cops and say I hit her, she’ll never stop and she hopes I kill myself.

All in an attempt to get me to stay.

Beth snatched my backpack hoping it would get me to stay and talk with her.

Those officers knew Beth had my backpack. I told them what happened. We drove past my street on the way to the station and I asked that officer if he could grab my stuff, I needed my medication and my dogs medication, but the officer said I’d have to speak to my lawyer about it. I was a mess and thought it was super unprofessional not to allow me to have my property back.

Officers wouldn’t even tell Beth to give my backpack to my stepmother or father who lived next door in apartment A. I expressed how important that pack was to me.

Beth went through all my stuff and pre-packed a lot of my things before I was able to speak to my lawyer about how to get my things back. At the time I felt Beth did that to upset me.

I told officers Beth was suffering from some sort of mental health crisis. She was acting childish and wouldn’t stop.

I didn’t realize at the time that she was having a panic attack because the things I was saying to her were a total shock and came out of nowhere.

Granted she should’ve seen the signs that I was sick again, there were events leading up to this day where she could tell that I wasn’t feeling confident any longer, her child Oli even mentioned that I haven’t seemed as happy lately, Oli said this the night before this October 4 event.

I believe that footage was deleted or being withheld because of my big mouth. I probably said a bunch of stuff that made it super clear that I was totally innocent and that officers should have driven back to South st to speak to Beth.

If it’s discovered that the chief deleted that footage. He’s going to get in big trouble.

I want the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

I have serious problem with ada Whites behavior. She also intentionally failed to inform me that my trial date was put off last august.

I was supposed to have trial 8-5-2024. A few weeks before this date, a friend in the courts informed me I wasn’t going to be having trial, it was put off and ada White was heard laughing saying “ he’s suicidal, I hope he leaps over the railing.” She wanted me to look stupid in front of all my friends and family, wasting everyone’s time driving out to Worcester from Springfield. That’s why I told all my other witnesses not to show up and only brought my nephew. That really pissed a lot of people off and they still aren’t talking to me.

When I arrived to court with my nephew, he got to hear the shameful excuse ada White had some other woman give me. White wasn’t adult enough to say it herself. Yet she was smiling away when I was told how “no one could find my contact information.”

Even though it’s clearly listed on my police report multiple times, along with suicide.

This behavior is malicious and intentional. When Hampden county lawyers and court officials found out I was suicidal in 2015, they purposely screwed with me, dragging my case out, until they had a guy place a gun to my forehead, then they were able to coerce me into pleading guilty for that bullshit forgery on my record. Even though everyone knows I didn’t create that paper, everyone knows I didn’t need it.

Plus for 5 years I gave Beth my word I would do exactly what I’m doing now, hold state workers to the highest standard, question every lie and pursue the truth no matter what.

I blew so much fucking smoke up that poor woman’s ass. I made Beth believe we could accomplish anything together and I would help her with her son no matter what. then I got sick and she begged me to stay, but I wouldn’t, I didn’t know I was sick from my hyperthyroidism and I didn’t know I was having a panic attack, so I left with my dog. I had never ignored Beth’s concerns in such a careless/selfish way before, I never walked away from a conversation that was about other people. If I believe I am right, I will debate you until all of the facts are on the table. I wouldn’t dismiss you and never talk about that issue again. Plus I knew Beth has separation anxiety, I had given her my word I would never leave the house in the middle of something that bothered her. I knew how horrible her panic attacks were, but I walked out on her anyway that morning. I wasn’t thinking straight and felt she was verbally attacking me about issues that weren’t my fault, when she was really pleading with me to listen and help her.

Beth even wrote in that 10-18-2024 victim impact statement, she felt like she had been living a lie.

If I was abusive? How could she be living a lie?

Beth’s statement is a contradiction of itself and is important to show her mental state.

Beth inadvertently gave me an another chance to face the commonwealth, Beth didn’t force anyone to withhold evidence or lie to me about gathering evidence or speaking to witnesses. Didn’t didn’t tell police to skip gathering evidence, like other officers also skipped gathering evidence when her son was assaulted multiple times.

Roger Banks had a client in that house where Beth’s son lived and laughed about how bad things were. I had filed multiple reports of abuse/neglet on her son’s behalf and even voiced concerns in a email sent 2 days before I walked out. Banks violated the conflict of interest laws, he should’ve dismissed himself as soon as he realized the connection. I clear he intentionally stalled everything after receiving that Warren footage. We spoke about it the same day he ordered the money for an investigator. Thought he hadn’t finished listening to the recording st that point.

I find it concerning that I’ve never been contacted about the last neglect reports I filed. I am innocent until proven guilty, so there’s no reason I couldn’t have verified the abuse and neglect going on in those group homes.

This is obviously an emotional topic for me, I treated Beth and her son like we were best friends for life and said it out loud all the time. Then that last day I felt empty inside and thought I wasn’t happy with her anyone because of the way our conversation went. So I left after telling her not to contact me again, granted that was after she told me she hopes I kill myself for wanting to leave.

I can’t handle stress “at all” when my thyroid is off, I am a total coward and also become physically weak. I even abandoned my own kids because my thyroid issues and I didn’t even realize why I had left until 2022, 20 years after I last saw them.

Now that I’m healthy again and on top of things, I owe it not only to myself, I owe it to Beth and her son to do the greatest job I can.

Something is really wrong with my case and it’s been going on since day one, I can’t and won’t let this go. That would make a terrible citizen. Especially since I feel healthier than ever and my mind is sharp as a tack. I’m very passionate about doing the right thing, no matter the obstacles. I’ve had a lot of ups and downs in my life because of health issues, but I’ve never been violent, I’ve only hurt myself or tried to kill myself, not that I can explain why my mind chooses to go there when my thyroid is off. But it’s better than hurting other people.

I added two pics and circled the info I found relevant. It’s obviously that my walking out on Beth when things were great in our relationship, but were bad for her son in his group home, traumatized her and is still very troubling for her.

Hope you have a good weekend

I know you want to make this simple, but I’m not going to ignore that mumbled dash-cam comment. Ada White knows that’s a lie and she intentionally misled that judge.

Even if those officers body-cams both magically failed to activate, which I doubt. The in-vehicle system was functioning.

Where is the in-vehicle policies and procedures paperwork?

This behavior on ada Whites part is malicious and intentional. She’s been jerking me around since I was transferred to Worcester.

Which still hasn’t been explained to me. East Brookfield is less of a hassle for me.

Then he and ada White jerked me around on 1-10-2024 by requesting a competency evaluation.

Pics are out of order, but there’s 4 pics 1 to Alex, 1 from Alex, 1 from McGinty.

I added 1 of the email I sent to warren police on 1-10-2024, to show judge Ginsburg I been doing my own leg work since January 2024 and I’ve been getting nowhere.

Subject: Warren body cam response

I don’t believe this is what was said in court the other day and it doesn’t actually settle the question. This paperwork implies officers were using body cameras after July 1, 2021 for training purposes, before being required to wear them full time March 2022. It doesn’t state they weren’t wearing them.

There is no mention of their training dates or if officers used them after their training was complete to keep in the habit, even though it may not have been officially required yet. Just because they weren’t required to officially start using bodycams until March 2022, doesn’t mean that they weren’t required to keep and hand over the videos made during their training period. The fact that the officers were training at the time wouldn’t exclude these videos as evidence at trial.

Officers both told me they were wearing body cams and recording when they approached me, this paperwork doesn’t claim they weren’t wearing them and weren’t recording when I was arrested.

I find this type of behavior by court representatives and these types of responses highly concerning and intentional. It erodes public confidence in state employees to do their jobs appropriately and effectively.

Warren officers documented me being suicidal in their police report, I assumed it was from the first time I was transported by them to the hospital in 2016. They had audio and video recorders in their vehicles at this time, yet there’s no mention of this in their generic policies and procedures. Where is their old policies and procedures? Not the new July 2021 updated version.

This is concerning to me because officers approached me parking on the wrong side of the road and activated their lights, so that should’ve triggered the vehicle recording systems. The officers told me their vehicles still recorded when I talked about my last suicide attempt with them. I was walking in the river side towards rt 20.

Is there anyway to see when this suicidal report entry was placed into their system. If it was entered 2016 then it was an old threat assessment. If it was from October 2021, then the only way police would’ve known was hearing it from me.

Also Beth spoke to Sue before calling police. When Beth followed me out of our apartment, I thought she turned back because of the rain. But Sue told me that Beth went into her apartment and although I can’t recall what Sue claimed Beth said, Sue told me and I quote “I told Beth I didn’t want to hear it, I’m not in the mood and to take it somewhere else”. I’m not the only person Sue told this story to.

Attorney Banks also stated he heard Sue tell this exact thing to officers, he said it sounded very harsh and probably made Beth more upset. Banks also said he heard Sue tell officers this wasn’t the first time Beth made false claim of bumping into her. He was very excited and looking forward to listening to the rest, he said this case was a piece of cake.

I found Sue’s responses terribly hurtful myself, so I can just imagine how Beth felt. This was harder to deal with when I was sick, you can hear me whining about Sue in the restraining order audio. After court I called my Dad whining and crying while he was at work. Since I was sick, I really believed in that moment that my dad and sue were turning on me because of what Beth said under oath. I felt It was bad enough Sue blew Beth off, now I thought my dad was letting Beth have my apartment , I must’ve sounded like an idiot cause I accused my Dad of telling Beth she could have the apartment and telling her wasn’t allowed back, just like Beth told the judge. ( which was another piece to the puzzle and my figuring out what happened with Beth that morning and spoken to my therapist about)

attorney Banks told me he received a copy of the footage to my face and talked about the things he heard and it was obviously long, so he didn’t get a chance to finish listening to it all when he last spoke about it. Then he refused to talk about it again, same thing with my other lawyers.

Where are the training videos?

Why won’t officers put an answer in writing? Not send a generic policy they have on hand.

Is the Ada going to say objection when bringing up the fact that Sue told Beth she didn’t want to hear it, before Beth called police?

I added a link to the Massachusetts Law Enforcement Body Camera Task Force - recommendations from 2020 in case you’ve never seen it. I’m sure warren followed some of the recommendations for training

There’s nothing in this about officers being able to lie to members of the public about being recorded, when you’re really not. I couldn’t find anything about it in any mass laws. Under most circumstances telling a suspect he’s being recorded would get him to shut up.

No one has said anything about contacting Beth’s therapist and making sure she has someone there to support her during this trial. I don’t think she’s going to handle all this very well. I was with her for 5 years, so I know her a little bit.

Hi; our efforts to locate officer Laflower were unsuccessful and he will not be appearing Friday. I also understand that no bodycam or dash cam have been acquired from warren pd, and the evidence will consist of the testimony of Beth , the chief and officer Bouchard. please review my email from 2/18, (I can resend it if you like), regarding trial prep/ procedure etc. I'm out with family stuff most of tomorrow, but if you want to touch base by either coming to town or zoom, (or email), let me know and we'll arrange a time. I expect we'll be the first case sent out for hearing, as we're coming up on 3 and a half years, so try to get to court early, (it starts at 845), room 23 (4th floor). Take care, see you soon.

I find this response concerning for all citizens

I asked for all footage from my lawyer Banks in October 2021. He said he got if 2022 the day he requested money for an investigation. Which means the East Brookfield ada also had a copy of this footage.

Back in May of 2023 I was supposed to have trial, but attorney ODoherty showed up without gathering any evidence, witnesses and never gave me copies of this footage.

Then I called the FBI, attorney general, the governors office, state police and reported that my lawyers and the courts were trying to pull some shit.

I also spoke up in court about calling the FBI and I asked what was going and was ignored by that judge, this also in may of 2023.

December 2023 attorny Bergo Emailed me and said ada White will try to get body cam info in writing

I talked about this footage in my January 2024 competency evaluation. I told the woman I wasn’t sure if it existed; but I was told it did and there were ways to prove it, but no one would help.

I also requested this footage myself by email and in writing at the police station. 1-10-2024

I filed complaints against my previous lawyers in January 2025. I also mentioned the footage I never received in these complaints and the issues I was having.

February 2025 I posted that video calling ada White a liar when she mumbled past her dash-cam comment, but she went on and on about wearing body-cams, but not recording footage.

April 2025 some footage magically appears days before I can go to court and prove that everyone has been lying about its existence.

It’s strange that this lawyer, the same guy who just tried to get me to forget about all this and move on. Just spent an hour listening to a worthless recording, in a case he’s no longer involved in, because it’s been dismissed, yet he still hasn’t sent me a copy.

I’m curious about the quality issues with the audio. There always seems to be some issues. Seeing that the warren police had these systems for years, I’m curious why these audio problems weren’t addressed?

After all the trouble I’ve gone through I don’t know if a “blank and incredulous look” really fits the narrative.

Hi; so your criminal case has been nolle prossed by the commonwealth, which means it is dismissed and no longer active. Please refer to my earlier email wherein i described this process, keeping in mind that the decision to continue prosecution of a case is solely within the executive branch, (the D A), and neither the defense nor the judiciary can stop this. That's what happened this morning with your criminal case. In my 37 years of practice i have never lied to nor misled a client, and I'm not going to do that now. Here is what I know and what I've been told: On Monday attorney White confirmed by text to me that no videos were available beyond booking, and the evidence would be from Beth and the two police officers. I emailed you about that. Yesterday afternoon, (while doing trial prep). I got a text from her indicating that the Warren pd just had sent her a link (that she had difficulty opening) to of all things, the dash cam videos. (Your recollection was apparently correct; makes one wonder about the bodycam.) I invited her to join in my contemplated motion to dismiss your case based on the tardy, misleading and straight-out false response from the Warren pd. I don't know just what efforts were made by prior counsel to obtain these and all other videos, but as you know we clearly moved for these to be provided, (and this was so ordered), and attorney White reported on January 8, (in good faith I believe, although I know you disagree), that no such videos existed. I received another text from her shortly after my response about dismissal informing me that she had contacted Beth, who was not available this Friday and in all events was no longer interested in pursuing the case. Attorney White told me that the case was going to be nolle prossed. I suggested that we bring it forward from Friday so that you would not have to come in physically from Springfield just to go home again, ( i understood you to have transportation issues). Thar's what I know. I hope you we

After I publicly accused ADA White of lying, you would think she would have informed you that she personally filed complaints with the POST Commission against the Warren officers who misled everyone. If that had happened, I would owe her a public apology. But your email reflects no action taken by the District Attorney’s office against the Warren police chief or the officers involved in withholding evidence. We both know that if a defense attorney withheld key evidence, they’d face serious consequences. How is this not a Brady disclosure violation? How is the DA’s office allowed to ignore it? As a lawyer, don’t you have an obligation to ensure the law applies equally, regardless of who is breaking it? From the start, I told you this wasn’t a mistake—it was intentional. The facts behind my case’s dismissal should have been made part of the record, especially after everything I’ve endured, the pain this has caused me and my family. Judge Ginsburg even questioned my competency because of this nonsense—shouldn’t she have been made aware of these findings? I requested the dash cam recordings from the Warren Police Department by email and in writing on January 10, 2024—weeks before my first competency evaluation. I never received a response. The DA’s office claimed no such videos existed. Now, after accusations of misconduct, these recordings suddenly appear, the case is dismissed, and they still refuse to turn them over? That’s not justice—that’s evidence tampering. I still want those videos. Dismissing my case does not erase my right to evidence I legally requested. The Commonwealth has withheld and lied about evidence before. I was naïve enough to let it go once. I won’t make that mistake again. If I ignore it, how many other innocent people will be railroaded the same way? In 2015, I nearly took my own life after being subjected to this same legal manipulation.

They could take all the credit for addressing it and blame me for bringing it all to light. I know word about my case has gotten around the courts. Plus I told this lawyer I’m gonna share our emails at one point. I was asked to appear by zoom this morning and it was muted the entire time. 30 minutes later I get a text saying my case was dismissed. I didn’t get to hear a thing. It’s funny how sneaky the courts are. I like how my lawyer brought up transportation as his reason for the short notice. I would’ve made a special trip to make sure that warren police were held accountable before my case was dismissed. It’s also nice how the client is never included in the conversation, we hear about everything after the fact. Which is as issue for me cause judge Ginsburg said I had control over my case and could decide if my lawyer would be speaking for me and ada White knew this. Since I called my lawyers liars out loud in court when speaking about this footage and ada white was standing right there. We should’ve gone before judge Ginsburg. Enough ranting for now.

I appreciate your time and your help in getting my case dismissed. However, I’m still struggling with serious concerns regarding the way this case was handled—particularly around the evidence that was withheld and the potential misconduct involved. You mentioned that you don’t practice this aspect of law, but I hope you understand why I believe these issues still deserve your attention. Regardless of specialty, I believe any lawyer—especially one who has witnessed firsthand the consequences of procedural failures—should be invested in making sure this doesn’t happen to others. As my counsel, you’ve seen how long I fought to obtain evidence that should’ve been disclosed from the start. You’ve seen how this delayed my case, affected my mental health, and led to a baseless competency evaluation. I personally requested this evidence in January 2024. The fact that the case was dismissed only after this evidence surfaced—without it ever being shared with me—feels like a deep failure of the system. I’m not just asking this for myself, but because I believe we both know this is bigger than one person. If misconduct like this goes unaddressed, it will continue. And if lawyers don’t speak up when they see it, who will? Even if you’re not in a position to directly take action, I would deeply appreciate your help pointing me in the right direction—whether that’s by recommending someone, helping document the situation. Simply acknowledging that something went wrong won’t help prevent this from happening again. You’ve done your part in helping resolve the charge. But I’m still left with the impact of what happened, and I believe a lawyer’s role doesn’t end the moment a case is dismissed—especially when it’s dismissed under such troubling circumstances. I hope you’ll take this seriously, not just for me, but for the integrity of the legal system and the people who come after me.

We both know that if a defense attorney withheld key evidence, they’d face serious consequences. How is this not a Brady disclosure violation? How is the DA’s office allowed to ignore it? As a lawyer, don’t you have an obligation to ensure the law applies equally, regardless of who is breaking it?

From the start, I told you this wasn’t a mistake—it was intentional. The facts behind my case’s dismissal should have been made part of the record, especially after everything I’ve endured, the pain this has caused me and my family. Judge Ginsburg even questioned my competency because of this nonsense—shouldn’t she have been made aware of these findings?

I requested the dash cam recordings from the Warren Police Department by email and in writing on January 10, 2024—weeks before my first competency evaluation. I never received a response. The DA’s office claimed no such videos existed. Now, after accusations of misconduct, these recordings suddenly appear, the case is dismissed, and they still refuse to turn them over? That’s not justice—that’s evidence tampering.

I still want those videos. Dismissing my case does not erase my right to evidence I legally requested.

The Commonwealth has withheld and lied about evidence before. I was naïve enough to let it go once. I won’t make that mistake again. If I ignore it, how many other innocent people will be railroaded the same way?

In 2015, I nearly took my own life after being subjected to this same legal manipulation. I’ve fought my way through it, but not everyone does. How many others have been broken by this system? When people lose faith in the law, it weakens everything we stand for.

I don’t believe any lawyer—anyone who truly cares about justice—would look at this and say nothing should be done. I know this isn’t the kind of legal system you signed up to be part of. What happens next will define whether the law still belongs to the people or only to those in power.

Also, regarding the restraining order, I may be able to use these recordings to get it lifted.

And yes please, can you clarify which court I need to go to in order to remove the false arrest from my record? I’d appreciate it.

Thank you for you help

In my 37 years of practice i have never lied to nor misled a client, and I'm not going to do that now. Here is what I know and what I've been told: On Monday attorney White confirmed by text to me that no videos were available beyond booking, and the evidence would be from Beth and the two police officers. I emailed you about that. Yesterday afternoon, (while doing trial prep). I got a text from her indicating that the Warren pd just had sent her a link (that she had difficulty opening) to of all things, the dash cam videos. (Your recollection was apparently correct; makes one wonder about the bodycam.) I invited her to join in my contemplated motion to dismiss your case based on the tardy, misleading and straight-out false response from the Warren pd. I don't know just what efforts were made by prior counsel to obtain these and all other videos, but as you know we clearly moved for these to be provided, (and this was so ordered), and attorney White reported on January 8, (in good faith I believe, although I know you disagree), that no such videos existed. I received another text from her shortly after my response about dismissal informing me that she had contacted Beth, who was not available this Friday and in all events was no longer interested in pursuing the case. Attorney White told me that the case was going to be nolle prossed. I suggested that we bring it forward from Friday so that you would not have to come in physically from Springfield just to go home again, ( i understood you to have transportation issues).

Thar's what I know. I hope you weren't expecting to air your past grievances with the criminal justice system before a jury chosen to hear your criminal case, because as I had advised you by email previously, that wasn't going to happen. The only issue before the Worcester District Court was whether you committed an assault and battery on October 4, 2021, and that issue was resolved by the Commonwealth's decision to cease prosecution of that case. My role was to bring that charge to a successful conclusion on your behalf, and that is what happened.

Keep in mind that the Restraining Order from East Brookfield Court is still in effect. I figure you know that, but I thought I should bring it up.

Check Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 276 Section 100C if you want to file a petition to have this case expunged from your CORI. I'm not sure whether such a petition would be filed in East Brookfield or Worcester, but I can find out if you like.

I am at least as annoyed as you are (you probably much more) with the Warren PD for their handling of this. I don't practice this aspect of law, so I can't advise you as to what (if any) legal recourse you may have, but you are certainly free to research that.

So again, I wish you the best and hope you can get this behind you quickly. I understand any lingering animosity you may have for the whole experience, but I'm glad your criminal case is finally resolved.

Follow-Up on Dashcam Footage

Ricky Stebbins

To: Christopher

Tue, May 6 at 2:21 PM

Dear Attorney Grady, I’m writing to follow up on our last exchange dated April 11, regarding the dashcam footage from the Warren Police Department and the sealing of my record through the East Brookfield Court. At that time, you mentioned Attorney White had contacted Warren PD and that you hoped to have a copy of the footage “next week.” Nearly a month has passed, and I have not received an update. Given the length of time this case was drawn out and the known issues around evidence being withheld, I find the continued delay troubling. As you know, the dashcam footage is not just a formality—it is a central piece of evidence that was withheld during proceedings and is part of an ongoing pattern that has legal and civil rights implications. I respectfully request a status update on: Whether the footage has been received or copiedWhen I can expect it to be delivered to meWhen I will receive the sealing form or guidance to complete that process I appreciate your continued assistance, but I also hope you understand the urgency. This matter impacts not only my legal record but the integrity of the process that brought us here. I look forward to your reply this week. Sincerely, Ricky Stebbins

i was hoping to send you both dashcam videos, but i still have just the one; i have spoken with attorney white at least three times, the last yesterday, and she reports being stymied by the warren pd evidence officer. Although the case is done, i agree you should have them, (as should I), and perhaps the freedom of information act is the way for you to go. I am going to close the file shortly (as I must after the case concludes), but I can send you the disc I have along with the form for east Brookfield; if you are able to make a copy and send a disc back to me, I would appreciate it, as I also like a complete file. I will tell attorney white that you have again inquired.

Thanks for the update. I want to be clear—I don’t need you to send me the disc. You already told me the video’s audio was poor and likely unusable. I’m not chasing a copy of something you’ve said has no real value. What I am asking for is access to the second dashcam video—evidence that we now both know exists, was court-ordered to be released, and is still being withheld. That’s not a technical delay. It’s a potential violation of Brady v. Maryland.

It should never fall on the defendant to retrieve evidence from a police department after the case has concluded. If the Warren PD evidence officer is refusing to release materials to an attorney, that’s not just my problem—it’s a systemic failure. And if it’s happening to me, it’s likely happening to others too.

Just because my case is over doesn’t mean the problem ends here. This isn’t just about me anymore. People deserve legal representation that challenges misconduct, not workarounds for it.

I’ve been using AI to help me document these failures—because someone has to. It’s helping me identify patterns that don’t make it into court records. And that includes the fact that I was left chasing evidence that should have been in my hands from the start.

Please continue pressing Attorney White. Even if this file is closing, I’m not.

Best, Ricky

Got your letter.

I am writing to formally acknowledge receipt of your recent letter regarding the closure of my case, Commonwealth v. Stebbins (2169CR001285JT). While I understand your stated reasons for closing the file, I must express my disappointment and concern regarding the manner in which critical issues have been left unresolved.

It is factually documented that relevant dash cam footage exists and was not secured or submitted during the course of your representation. Your letter confirms that you are still awaiting a second video from Attorney White, yet you have opted to close the case despite this outstanding evidence. I must also note that I personally attempted to acquire this footage from the Warren Police Department in January 2024 and was denied access at that time.

These actions by the District Attorney’s office and related parties appear both malicious and intentional, as the withholding of evidence directly undermines the fairness of the proceedings. By choosing to ignore this behavior rather than confront it, I believe your response reflects a degree of complicity—whether through inaction or silent tolerance of misconduct.

I also want to note, for the record, that I previously informed you I would be sharing our correspondence publicly. I intend to publish the full history of our communication—along with similar issues I’ve experienced with other attorneys—as part of a documented record. This is to allow others to see the patterns of neglect, avoidance, and failure to uphold basic legal responsibilities. The public deserves to understand how often these breakdowns occur, and how frequently individuals are forced to fight for accountability on their own.

This message is not written out of emotion, but in direct response to the documented facts and the consequences of inaction. I will continue pursuing the appropriate legal and administrative channels to ensure this matter is addressed.

Sincerely,

Ricky Stebbins
