Boyne’s Connecticut Case Collapsing: Illegal raids, stolen evidence, judicial misconduct, and massive First Amendment violations.

Boyne’s Connecticut Case Collapsing Under Constitutional Rot

    Paul Boyne’s First Amendment nightmare is finally exploding into public view. The 70-year-old Virginia father and Annapolis grad now stands accused of “stalking” Connecticut judges with nothing more than words — fiery blog posts known as the “Hateful Eight.” For that speech alone, Connecticut slapped him with 18 felony counts, jailed him 17 months, raided his Virginia home illegally, and strapped a failing ankle monitor to his leg. Prosecutors used stolen evidence, sealed warrants, and media gags. Judges looked the other way. Former Justice Joette Katz allegedly pulled strings from the shadows. And now, the entire prosecution is collapsing under the weight of its constitutional rot.

    Criminal Undertones: CT Judge and Cops Accused of Jailing Blogger for Opinions

      A Connecticut free-speech case is exploding into a full-blown constitutional controversy. Local blogger Robert Pabich was arrested after posting online criticisms of State Senator Matt Lesser, sparking outrage among civil-liberties advocates who say Rocky Hill police and Judge Jesse Giddings trampled the First Amendment. Officers used a “risk warrant” to seize Pabich’s firearms before charging him with stalking and disorderly conduct—based solely on political expression. Critics say this criminalizes dissent and weaponizes the justice system against unpopular viewpoints. The case has become a flashpoint in the national debate over hate-speech laws, judicial bias, and freedom of political speech.
