Re: State vs. Keith Maynard

Dear Judge Kaplan:

I am writing this letter in support of Keith Maynard to participate in the pretrial familyviolence education program.

Keith and I have been close friends for almost two years. However, I grew up only atown away from Mr. Maynard and we have always associated with the same group offriends.

Mr. Maynard has always been shown to be a very compassionate and loyal man. Heinteracts well with his peers and has always shown self respect and respect towardsothers. He has also proved to be a great parent and role model to his teenage daughter.After observing Keith's parenting, I have no doubt he is a devoted and understandingfather to his adolescent daughter.

I believe in Mr. Maynard and strongly stand by him. I can assure you that Mr. Maynardwill not only comply with the education program, but will also carry out what he learnsfrom it. If you have any questions regarding my recommendation for Keith Maynard,please do not hesitate to contact me at anltime at203J.

Re: Keith Maynard

Dear Judge Kaplan,I have known Keith since the age of 14. Over the years, I have seenKeith grow into a very humble, hard working member of the Ansoniacommunity and caring father. I have personally worked with Keith as hisdirect supervisor during his time as a program volunteer at the Boys &Girls Club. During that time, Keith led by example and was looked up toby our members. Keith was also very instrumental in helping to get theAnsonia Unit of our organization off the ground by making the people inthe town of Ansonia aware of what we do and what we stand for.

Keith has always looked out for the best interest of the community as awhole and has supported the Boys & Girls Club in many endeavors.

Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions you may have.

Attn: The Honorable Judge

Dear Judge:

It is without hesitation that I urite a character letter for Mr. KeithMaynard. I've known this young man for many years, and I've alsoknown his family since I moved to Connecticut forty-six years ago. I firstmet his mom and dad in Ansonia" CT at a social function in Ansonia. Myhusband, a Retked Detective Sgt. in West Haven, grew up with Keith'sparents and always spoke very highly of the Maynard family- Love andrespect was taught in his hpusehold and.their,actions s.po!

Page TwoThe Honorable Judge, cont.'

that only God can help him through. He's young and I know he believesin doing the right thing where this dilemma is concerned. He will always

remain a young man who made a quick decision to react unlike we knowhim to be, but also one who feels the pain from his actions and willing toresolve and correct his mistake of violent behavior and move forward in amanner of making things right between he and his wife. If she is willingto forgive him, and he is willing to accept a resolution that will benefitboth parties, then who are we the people to determine his punishment?Let that decision be between Keittr" his wife and God. Allow Keith to askher for forgiveness, and let time and forgiveness be the factor in bringingthern.back together again. Keith Maynard deserves another ohance.I remairq

Yours,ffn
