Justin Ames Gamache has achieved significant legal victories in 2025 against the State of Vermont:

·         Case Dismissal and Expungement: On April 2, 2025, the Bennington Superior Court – Criminal & Civil Division dismissed the case against Justin Ames Gamache (Docket No. 1127-10-13 Bncr) and declared his record eligible for expungement. The charges, which included Impersonation of an Officer (13 V.S.A. § 3002), were completely dropped, and the court ordered the sealing and removal of all related records.2

·         Legal Precedent and Protection: In a related case, Ronan v. Gamache (Docket No. 22-ST-00891), the Vermont Superior Court issued a final judgment on September 7, 2022, affirming that Gamache's conduct was not unlawful and that his communications were protected by the First Amendment and 12 V.S.A. § 5131(1)(B). This judgment further solidified the legal basis for the dismissal of the criminal charges against him.2

·         Petition for Expungement: In March 2025, Gamache filed a legally sound and statutorily supported Petition for Expungement under 13 V.S.A. § 7602 and § 7606. The petition met all the statutory conditions for expungement, including the absence of felony or misdemeanor convictions in the required time frames and the fulfillment of all court-ordered obligations.3

·         Unauthorized Disclosure Challenge: On March 19, 2025, Gamache formally objected to the unauthorized sharing and publication of Vermont court document EO-22-067, which referenced civil proceedings unrelated to any criminal conviction. He emphasized that such documents should not be distributed without his written consent and that the misdemeanor offense for which he sought expungement is not a predicate offense under Vermont law.[3]

These victories highlight Gamache's successful efforts to clear his name and ensure that his rights are respected under Vermont law.
