Most important part of the Vladek Filler case: the Supreme Judicial Court of Maine's ruling last year when it granted Filler a new trial

Vladek Filler was found not guilty on the charge of raping his wife, as we predicted.  As important as this was for Mr. Filler, the more important part was the appellate court's ruling last year that gave Mr. Filler a new trial.

As Robert Franklin explained explained at the time: "[T]he appellate court agreed with Filler and the trial court that he should get another chance to prove his innocence. But it went further than the trial court saying that, in the new trial, Filler can bring in all of the evidence about the custody matter and the fact that none of the allegations had been made until custody became an issue.  That’s obviously important to Vladek Filler, but, since it’s a ruling by the Supreme Judicial Court, it’s also important to countless other men in Maine. No more will their criminal trials on allegations of domestic abuse be marred by their inability to adduce evidence that the charges arose in the course of child custody cases."  See here: http://www.fathersandfamilies.org/?p=9950

The Mary Kellet vs Vladek Filler case was such an Gross affront to The US constitution, the Rule of law, and to the position of a US District attorney, that it warrants further research into her past decisions.
Or will she try and "gag" any investigations into her past decisions??

How often do sitting district attorneys in the US try and put a "gag order" on Activist organizations??
Is it so common as to not make the main stream news?? or is "main stream news" so perverted they "choose" not to report on it??
Again, How often do sitting district attorneys in the US try and put a "gag order" on activist organizations??

Oh, how I wish that particular knife cut the other way too, so that allegations of rape and DV made to the police, which were found to be lacking, could not then be used in the civial family court custody case that prompted them in the first place.

"twice vexed" indeed.

Our system enables any woman who wants to to railroad her husband on bogus rape charges.

When is the exploitation of men going to end?

One must ask oneself "who are the beneficiaries??" of letting a girl lie about rape because she didn't want to pay her cab fare??
Not all women are benefiting, and there are some male "gender-feminist" beneficiaries to this (as English law would say)"perversion of the course of justice."
