From the C0V1D Freedom Fighter Legal Fee Fundraiser in Shrewsbury, MA on 11/10/23.

"I've reached out to the criminal defense Bar ... asking for help, because I can't do all of this by myself. I don't have the resources. And complete silence. And it doesn't matter that the same thing can happen to their clients the very next day when the political winds turn. That's what they don't get: The shoe is always on the other foot." -my attorney, Ilya Feoktistov

#ActonAssault case introduction:

On July 8, 2022, a group protesting against C0V1D v@ck-ze@ns being given to 5-11 year olds at a v@ck-ze@n clinic at the children's Discovery Museum in Acton, MA was assaulted by local resident Fred Smith. Smith was charged with 3 counts of Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon (a pipe), 1 count of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (a pipe), Assault and Battery, and Disorderly Conduct.

On February 1, 2023, all of Smith's charges were dropped with the exception of the Assault and Battery charges. For those, he agreed to 9 months of pretrial probation consisting of anger management classes.

Kevin Mackie, one of the protestors, defended the group against Smith's assault. For it, he is charged with Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon (a megaphone), Assault and Battery, and Trespass. Despite the prosecution possessing video of the interaction showing that Smith was the first aggressor, as well as witness testimony testifying to the same, they continue to prosecute Mr. Mackie instead of Mr. Smith. The judges are refusing to dismiss the trespassing charge even after being presented with notarized Registry of Deeds documents showing that Mr. Mackie was protesting on a public easement. The same charge has already been dismissed for the other protestors at a show cause hearing before a court clerk.

Smoking-gun documents obtained by one of Mr. Mackie’s fellow protesters in a public records act request show that Mr. Mackie’s prosecution has been unduly prejudiced by the direct involvement of former Massachusetts Secretary of Health and Human Services, Marylou Sudders, along with her public relations team, in the decision to prosecute Mr. Mackie. In the documents, Secretary Sudders tells her public relations team that Massachusetts criminal justice officials will act to help them prevent future protests against C0V1D v@ck-ze@ns by Mr. Mackie and the other protesters. She tells her team that she is “happy to discuss off line what they are doing.”

Consequently, Mr. Mackie’s attorney would be willing to provide press statements that he believes are required to protect Mr. Mackie from the substantial undue prejudicial effect of this corrupt civilian political appointee’s malicious propaganda campaign to influence the Commonwealth’s criminal justice officials into prosecuting Mr. Mackie.
