Best: Does Anyone Actually Adhere to the Laws in the NH Justice System?

July 20, 2025July 19, 2025 Claire Best

As a moral matter as well as a legal matter, to quote David Vicinanzo from an article at InDepthNH, the State’s decision to keep the Grand Jury Criminal Investigation report private without a public hearing or notice is a betrayal of all those kids abused at St Paul’s School.

Ken Weyler YDC PR Crisis Word Salad

Dear Representatives, Today’s apology is a word salad, and it appears to have been created with the NHCADSV – a compromised agency in the YDC cases.

Dear Supreme Court Chief Justice Gordon MacDonald, …

September 20, 2024April 9, 2024 Claire Best

I am addressing you directly because it is abundantly clear that the New Hampshire Law Enforcement, Judiciary, and Bar are more interested in covering up corruption than addressing it. This means members of the public, with the help of certain journalists, are left addressing it themselves. It’s a sorry state that our public funds have been abused so much by the very people whom we pay & entrust to uphold and execute laws.

Are NH Courts Involved in Hiding Sex Trafficking, Sex Abuse by Their Own?

July 9, 2023July 9, 2023 Skip

Apropos ABA Rule 8.4, I have cited court corruption before. I have brought it up with the AG’s office, with DA Paul Halvorsen of Merrimack County and it has been brought up and is in the record with the United States Senate Judicial Committee as well. In fact, it is part of the reason why former NH AG Michael Delaney was forced to withdraw his application as a judge to the First Circuit Court of Appeals.
