June 11, 2006 - Dover – A lawsuit against the city’s police department alleging abuse of process and defamation has been tossed out by the judge who less than a month earlier upheld the claim.
Former Cocheco Valley Humane Society animal cruelty investigator Sandra Scott-Rainey filed suit against the police department and one of its officers, as well as numerous other animal care officers after she was charged with forgery in 2001 for allegedly stealing and cashing a co-worker’s pay check. She was later acquitted.
Scott-Rainey alleges she was improperly charged and that officers involved in the case and the animal care community defamed her as a result of the forgery charges, irreparably damaging her reputation and preventing her from working in the animal care community.
In an April 25 ruling, Judge Peter Fauver ruled in favor of Scott-Rainey and allowed her lawsuit against the police department and its officer claiming abuse of process, tortuous interference with employment and defamation to proceed to trial.
But in a May 23 ruling, Fauver reversed himself, tossing out all claims against police. Fauver ruled police were covered under prosecutorial immunity for the abuse of process and tortuous interference with employment claims and that the defamation claim was filed too late in the legal process to stand.
Scott-Rainey said she plans to appeal the ruling.
Fauver originally let stand the claims and in a ruling that said if the facts in question are viewed in favor of Scott-Rainey, then she had a case and whether or not the facts did support her had to be determined at trial.
In his reversal, Fauver stuck to that logic, but said the court did not take into account prosecutorial immunity and ruled that the officer was acting in line with his job when arresting Scott-Rainey.
Fauver let stand claims against four other plaintiffs, including former state veterinarian Clifford McGinnis and other animal control officers from the area. The case is expected to go trial the week of Oct. 2.

Is the truth to much To the People of the United States 7-31-06 Judge Peter Fauver committed crimes against our highest law "the Constitution" with intent to cause harm to the individual. Judge James O'Neill hears all the criminal acts committed by Fauver and O'Neill tells us in court "these are serious charges". Then O'Neill rules what Fauver did Constitutional to protect a brother judge. The New Hampshire Supreme Court rules the case Moot to protect the legal profession. The Federal courts rule judges have immunity. The NH governor has the State police order me to stop my volunteer helping this Madbury NH family. Judge Fauver's crimes were to let the Madbury NH selectmen use their political powers to seek personal revenge on other Madbury residents. These selectmen believe they have so much power they do not even deny the crimes under oath. I continue my volunteer helping this Madbury family so the NH government declares me a terrorist. I am jailed and lose my freedom for 6 months. 4 days before the trial the charges are dropped. No judge or government officials wants this case to become public knowledge. The newspapers believe the terrorist charges with out even checking."Trust the government word". The letters that I wrote were factual and stated what our Constitution states. Elisabeth Dunn State Assistant Attorney general states in court "if you take words out of 51 different letters that Mr. Macdonald wrote you can put together a possible threat". Give me a break. I have stated these facts in open letters to the government, courts, newspapers and others. I have been volunteer helping this family for over 5 years. I continue because we have good men called veterans that gave their lives to prevent these very crimes from happening. The NH government can not stop me by taking my freedom so they stop my Veterans Medical benefits. I am a 100% service connected disabled veteran. You see I did give my life for your freedom. I am running for NH Governors Executive council. The newspapers refuse to print my letters. The truth is a powerful weapon. Some day the truth will be discussed. Judge Fauver and these others are criminals and by our Constitution must be removed from their positions permanently."any one Constitutional right of any one individual can not be violated or that government must be abolished and a new one started". Peter Macdonald Sgt USMC "Semper Fi" www.topix.net/forum/city/windham-nh/TD2IS1LQ7DO12S1BTA Vietnam Veteran's War By Peter Macdonald 465 Packersfalls rd Lee NH 603-659-6216 You may print my name, address and phone # Desperate I am not. Disappointed yes I am. I asked my NH Governors Lynch, Benson and Shaheen for help to expose abusive acts committed by Madbury NH selectmen to run a family out of Madbury. These acts of personal revenge are because the Madbury NH selectmen decided they did not like this family. I have heard that the Madbury selectmen have done this before. Use the power in trusted by the voters to destroy citizens. Use taxpayers money to finance destroying residents for personal revenge. They cause a family to go broke by miss using the courts. What does a family do when government officials intentionally miss use their power for personal revenge? I have asked NH Senators Gregg and Sununu for help. I have asked Congressmen Bass and Bradley for help. These are people elected to look out for the peoples rights. Their answer to me was "It would not be to their political advantage to help me". Do these rich elected officials only look out for peoples rights that have money. I have pleaded with the newspapers across the United States to tell this news. They ignore the facts. The NH newspapers know the truth but still refuse to print it. Let the people know that the NH government and courts are corrupt? These are people the Union leader newspaper states have good reputation. The Fosters daily democrat states this news will hurt the newspapers friends. The Concord Monitor reporter stated to me that I am a terrorist they are ordered not to speak to me. What is a citizen to do? I have served my country in the United States Marine Corps. I would not wish what I went through on any person. I may not have experienced what others did but what I did witness flashes through my mind often. I am not ashamed that I killed but I feel guilty. I fought to protect your freedom. I came back from the Vietnam Conflict 100% disabled. I did not stop representing this nation. I believe I owe those that did not come back the respect and gratitude to volunteer to make this a better country. My elected officials whom never served in the military are diminishing what many over the years gave their lives to defend. The N H government could not shut me up so they locked me up. I volunteer my time to help a Madbury NH family expose corrupt government acts . Judge Peter Fauver finds me guilty of a crime with no trial, no witnesses, no evidence, no charges and finds me twenty thousand dollars. The NH Supreme Court rules the case "Moot" to protect brother attorneys. Federal court Judge McAuliffe rules judges have immunity from Constitutional crimes. The court of appeal first circuit rules judges are immune. The United States Supreme Court rules I did not follow proper procedure, case dismissed. I ask are these judges allowed to violate the Americans with Disabilities Act. The courts and government knew before this case started that I was rated 120% mentally and physically disabled. Judge Fauver made me an attorney knowing that I dropped out of school in the 12 grade to join the United States Marine Corps. No newspaper across the United States large or small will print this story. Governor Benson send the State Police to my house to order me to stop my volunteer helping this Madbury family. I continue so the state police arrest me as a terrorist. I loose my freedom for 6 months. 4 days before the trial the charges are dropped. If the case goes to court the facts become public so these elected criminals do not want that.. I continue my volunteer help and the state police arrest me for writing the governor Benson to ask why he told the Veterans Hospital that I was a Terrorist to get my VA medical benefits stopped. They could not stop me with loss of freedom now they will destroy my health. I was jailed, fined and got two years probation because I dare write the governor. I continue to volunteer my time to help this Madbury NH family. Now Governor Lynch has a uniformed State trooper go to my wife's work place to scare her to get me to stop. I continue and the state Police Sgt Twynner calls me from the governors office to scare me. I still will not shut up. Our country is to important for me to stop helping this family. I have done nothing wrong. I have volunteered helping people across the state of New Hampshire since my discharge in 1974. I volunteer in schools, hospitals, community, for the state and federal programs. I volunteer over 1000 hours a year, but I am a nobody. I am just a 100% disabled veteran with no money and no political pull. The government has the power to sweep me under the rug. The newspapers see no advantage to exposing my facts, or maybe the fact is the newspapers and politicians see so much corruption they are afraid. The facts stated in this article are true. The facts are documented in NH Supreme Court case 2003-0477 and United States Court of Appeals First Circuit 05-1433. I have stated these facts many time to many newspapers and government officials. I may be a nobody but I am fighting for you're the individuals benefit. The newspapers may censor this news article but I will be heard. I will probably be arrested because I dare write such a factual truthful article exposing crimes committed by the courts and government officials. I have so much to be thank full for because I came back to the world alive to not fight to make the United States better. I did my time in hell so I will not let those government officials that never served destroy what so many over the years gave their lives for. I am disappointed because the trust we the people place in our newspapers to print articles such as this one is gone. Every newspaper from California to Florida to New England should be proud to print this article. I have stated the truth. If we the people are to correct the wrongs committed by our government officials the newspaper can not censor the peoples words. This article should be on every front page. lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-March/118742.html
