Abuse Hysteria in Maine: This Week's Alert

SAVE has sent a letter to District Attorney Carletta M. Bassano calling for the immediate dismissal of the case of State of Maine v. Vladek Filler: http://www.saveservices.org/wp-content/uploads/BassanoLtr4.4.2011.pdf

This case represents a bizarre miscarriage of justice that threatens to undermine public respect for law:

• The allegation of marital rape does not meet the probable-cause standard.
• Ligia Filler is a proven child abuser.
• Ligia Filler is a documented false accuser.
• The Maine Department of Health and Human Services sided with the defendant in a concurrent child custody dispute.
• Continued prosecution of the case is likely to harm the children.
• The case has become so tainted with bias that justice can no longer be served.
• The continued prosecution of this case re-victimizes the true victims of violent crime.
