Brunswick Maine Police Chief Rizzo Former Police Chief in Ayer Massachusetts Contract Not Renewed After Conviction of Mcguane Brothers Kelly Proctor Murder (unarmed black male) Kelly Proctor - Young Unarmed Black Male Murdered in Ayer Massachusetts - Martha Coakley Poor Job Prosecuting Case with Police Chief Rizzo Brunswick Maine
Kelly Proctor was a promising young black male who lived with his mother and sister in the small town of Ayer, Massachusetts. Ayer is a blue collar,predominantly white working class kind of town. Kelly Proctor was valedictorian of Ayer High School and a star player on the local football team. While Kelly was walking home from a fireworks celebration in his small town with his friends, he was viciously attacked and beaten to death in less than one minute by the Mcguane brothers, both who were much larger and physically stronger than Kelly. He never had a chance. Kelly tried to crawl under an SUV to escpae the Mcguanes but died at the scene. He was unarmed.
The vicious beating was witnessed and the entire Ayer community was in shock after Kelly Proctor's murder. He had been well liked and was attending nearby Nichols College. Outraged parents said AFTER Kelly Proctor's murder that they had repeatedly contacted Ayer Police Chief Richard Rizzo to complain the Mcguane brothers were bullying and physically assaulting their children - and Rizzo did NOTHING. The Mcguane family was influential in small town Ayer: one member was on the Board of Selectman (that supervised Police Chief Rizzo and approved his contract), another was married to someone on Rizzo's police department and the local high school gym was named after another relative. 2 standards of justice for Ayer Police Chief Rizzo: one for those from the local powerful families and another for everyone else. Poor Kelly came from 'everyone else".
Police Chief Rizzo did NOT investigate Kelly Proctor's death as a hate crime and he worked with Martha Coakley when she was the Middlesex District Attorney. Why weren't federal hate crime charges sought, Rizzo and Coakley? After all, the Mcguane brothers had bullied Kelly Proctor previously and evidence of this was brought at trial. Plus, Rizzo and Coakley did NOT bring in a top quality forensic pathologist and one month before trial, the public paid pathologist - who had botched the cause of death - was exposed so the charges were downgraded from first degree murder to involuntary manslaughter. The Mcguane brothers were both convicted BUT served only 3 years for murdering an innocent young UNARMED black teenager. The poor kid never had a chance against 2 much larger and stronger assailants.
After the convicton of the Mcguane brothers, Police Chief Rizzo didn't have his contract renewed for 6 months and he resigned, moved 2 states away and became the new Brunswick (Maine) Police Chief. While he has been Police Chief in Brunswick, he has allowed an attorney named Mark Waltz to continue to practice his solo law practice while Waltz is paid by the public to work full time days. Waltz also runs a private business called Casco Bay Title LLC which provides real estate title searches. Rizzo and Waltz have refused local "influential" people who have been aggressively harassing, targeting, threatening and trying to financially exploit a female who owns private property in Brunswick. These people are all direclty associated with a bogus "non profit" called the Brunswick Tospham Land Trust and their Executive Director Angela Twitchell wh is an extreme environmentalist. The Town Manager John Eldridge refused to have an indepependent investigation of Rizzo and Waltz. And the entire Brunswick Town Council has refused to investigate the Brunswick Police Chief Rizzo and Captain Mark Waltz. Waltz has refused to disclose if Angela Twitchell and the Brunswick Topsham Land Trust is a personal client of his as ATTORNEY Mark Waltz. Has Brunswick Police Chief Rizzo been allowing Captain Mark Waltz to run a private attorney practice out of the Brunswick Police Department? Rizzo and Waltz have withheld ALL information from the Brunswick Police Patrol, Supervisory and Dispatch staff and have NOT permitted them to investigate Angela Twitchell and 2 local realtors and a female attorney who may be in on trying to coerce the female property owner or to financially exploit her. Rizzo has been accused of falsifying police reports and the Brunswick Town Council has reportedly received written letters of complaint which they have NOT publicly disclosed. This is a major public corruption case right now involving a Police Chief and Police Captain and a Town Manager and the entire Town Council.
Before Police Chief Rizzo arrived in Ayer, Massachusetts, it was already famous for its corruption and fraud. Ayer Massachusetts was the setting for the false investigation and conviction of an innocent man who spent 18 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. And the District Attorney who could have vacated his sentence years before his innocence was proven: none other than Massachusetts Attorney General Marth Coakley.

Based on my research the author of this report is responding to their own submission. This seems to be a lot of about nothing. Your lengthy articles are best suited to a personal blog--not at this venue which actually tries to assist legitimate causes. Thank you.

I first saw your comments in The Forecaster in December 2014, and noticed they began deleting them. However, I copied the remaining comments as I searched other articles, and subsequently began a blog; please check it out: www.freebrunswick.blogspot.com
Therefore, this response is not actually a rebuttal, but a way to offer support as I'm familiar with some of the issues you've mentioned; however, other information you've given is new.
I understand your frustration with a corrupt system which includes a police department headed by Chief Rizzo. Your comments about them selectively choosing when or if they will enforce town ordinances and state laws is true; along with whom they align with as also evidenced by a history and pattern of behaviors. Former town managers used the police force as their own henchmen.They are bullies and mess with people's lives without any sense of empathy or remorse.
I've heard from several people. Some examples are: One case concerned a group of teens. One of the prominent families of Brunswick's son purposefully hit another teen with his car; several witnesses reported this to the police. However, the report came out differently, and it ended up being the other teen's fault - the one hit by the car! Even a high school resource officer was seen by several stopping a teen with a coffee mug, pulling out a baggie of what appeared to be marijuana from the kid's cup, and kept it - never took the boy to the office, nothing.
This police department has operated with impunity; Stephanie Anderson, Cumberland County DA is well-aware of police falsifications of reports, and the Attorney General's Office is, too. There has been a paper trail left behind for documentation; the letters, evidence, and complaints by several people are there, but the public will not be given access. This is how they roll. According to what you've written they're now following CIA rules (if you want to cover-up, write nothing down). Sounds like they won't even talk with you. Big flags; it means they have something to hide.
Michael Madigan, ADA, also hides police corruption; and destroys evidence. He is aware of unethical and unlawful police actions, but does nothing. Wonder how many others have been affected by this group, how many fines are paid, and people going to jail. The public at large is too easily victimized by their own - by people whose jobs are paid for by the taxpayers. When police want a "meat" ticket, they can get their money and quotas very easily.
It's also easy for them to hide hate crimes; they simply don't report them, and report everyone as "non-Hispanic" on their forms. One citizen was taking pictures of town employees on her property; and one of town employee sneered as he said, "Snap away, c***k.", etc. It was reported, Rizzo did nothing. Chief Rizzo did nothing when repeated criminal trespass occurred to another, and the perpetrator doing it told the property owner to "Go back to your own f--- country." It was witnessed, and reported; Chief Rizzo did nothing. But the reports are in the files.
A woman, Andrea Murillo, was sitting in her parked car with her diabled son; they were simply having a snack. Officer Potter came up to them yelling for them to get out of their car as he pointed his weapon at them. Ms. Murillo was a former police officer, she screamed very loudly don't shoot me as she hand her hands up. Sound familiar? Potter was described as being very nervous and concerned about her screaming don't shoot me. Potter falsified reports, too.
Brunswick Police Department is corrupt and operates under the color of law, and they get away with it. As mentioned, I'm familiar with some of the issues and it's fact several of the law enforcement officers there, including Chief Rizzo have filed false reports, and they refused to enforce a Superior Court Order as well as District Court protection orders on numerous occasions. On or about August 30, 2007 after trespassing (they removed no trespassing signs in the driveway) LEOs Mark Waltz, and Kevin Schofield entered a private residence beyond doors with locks and deadbolts to threaten the resident/citizens therein.
Fact is, we can find several stories from many people. They talk, but these don't make the papers which only seem interested in siding with corrupt LEO.
I understand where you're coming from. A lawyer has said as long as the LEO don't brutally beat you or rape you, they'll pretty much get away with anything. Seems very true, and they know it.
