Amy Burns is the ex-wife of former Maine State Police trooper Justin Cooley, who faces three criminal charges related to alleged domestic abuse in 2019. When she reported the abuse to the state police, she claims that the commanders either did not want to hear it, or they did not believe her, and they failed to intervene and stop the domestic violence.

Rhonda Pattelena was beaten to death on York Beach last month in broad daylight, in sight of multiple witnesses.
Jeffrey J. Buchannan, her former domestic partner, was arrested at the scene and has been charged with murder. And as often happens in cases like this, people wonder whether the responsibility extends further.
