Commonwealth v. Patrick Gordon · Docket 2677CR00083
How to Help Patrick Gordon’s Defense (Essex County Superior Court, 2677CR00083)
Patrick Gordon of Salem, Massachusetts has been held on $100,000 cash bail since December 2025. A criminal defense in Superior Court is expensive. Here is how to help, and what kind of help is useful.
Share the record accurately
If you write or post about this case, link to the documents and describe them as they are. The most useful pages to share are What happened and The record. Please keep to what the documents show. Overstatement does not help Mr. Gordon.
If you are a Massachusetts criminal-defense attorney
Mr. Gordon is represented by Attorney Philip Doherty. Attorneys with experience in search-and-seizure litigation or in Massachusetts firearms and explosives law who are willing to consult are invited to get in touch.
If you have relevant knowledge
If you have first-hand information that bears on the case, including expertise in pyrotechnic chemistry or smoke compositions, contact Mr. Gordon’s counsel, Attorney Philip Doherty. Please do not post potential evidence publicly first.
What not to do
Do not contact, name or harass any police officer, prosecutor, court employee, witness or business connected with this case. It is wrong, it can be unlawful, and it harms the defense.
