The state of New Hampshire’s responsibility for the hundreds of rapes and beatings David Meehan suffered while a teen in state custody is more than proven, and the state cannot get out from under the $38 million verdict, yet, Rockingham Superior Court Judge Andrew Schulman ruled this week.
Thomas Macholl’s complaint to the Executive Branch Ethics Committee claims Hanks initiated an internal investigation the same day he reported Eileen Meaney, DOC’s human resources director, for violating department policy with a selfie she took at a memorial service for a dead officer.
After skipping every day of his trial, Adam Montgomery finally showed up in court Thursday as he was given the maximum sentence for killing his five-year-old daughter, Harmony Montgomery.
The most glaring is that Paul Raymond reportedly ordered a witness to remain silent about evidence that cleared Macholl, and records show that witness was blocked from talking to investigators for at least a month.
Two of the jurors who awarded David Meehan a record $38 million for the hundreds of rapes and beatings he suffered as a child while in state custody are shocked to learn the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office plans to cap the payout at $475,000.
The jury in Rockingham Superior Court is holding the state of New Hampshire to account for the rapes, beatings, and brutality suffered by David Meehan as a child, awarding him $38 million in damages which represents the largest amount awarded in a contested civil liability trial in state history.
As a child in state custody, his attorney says David Meehan was raped at least 200 times. He suffered almost as many beatings, and was forced into hellish solitary confinement for at least 100 days.
New Hampshire State Prison Warden Michelle Edmark claims she had to fire long-time Corrections Officer Claudia Cass Prescott for refusing to follow direct orders, and not because Cass Prescott was telling Department of Corrections leadership about the staffing crisis inside the state prison for men in Concord.
Daniel Meehan never saw any signs that his son, David Meehan, was being abused at home, nor did he ever know his child was getting raped and beaten by state employees.
