J.Mataitytė committed the crime in the fall of 2012, in the basement of an apartment belonging to judges Gražina Mataitienė.
Later, 21-year-old J. Mataitytė gave birth to a baby and suffocated him. The murder was discovered when the newborn did not receive medical attention. By the way, this crime was initially hidden from the public.
The judge herself told the media without even realizing that her adult daughter was pregnant, and the relatives did not know.
The courts that examined the case of the murder of a newborn sentenced J. Mataityte to 9 years in prison. It was supposed to start doing this on December 28, 2017.
Already serving his sentence, the convicted himself asked the court for compensation for the damage caused to her, as he allegedly suffered many injustices and negative experiences.
He was jailed not fast enough
First, she complained that officials had not taken her to the detention center quickly enough. The Šiauliai County Police received a notice that J. Mataitytė should be imprisoned on January 8, 2018. After discovering that he lived in the capital, they sent an order to execute the sentence to Vilnius officials.
This warrant was registered in the capital a week later and delivered for execution on February 2. After 4 days, the official contacted J. Mataityte by phone and they agreed that on February 12. she herself will arrive at the gates of the Lukiškės Pretrial Prison (TI-K).

However, this officer received an urgent task that day, so he was unable to meet and send the message that the incarceration would have to be moved to the next day.
“The fact that the arresting officer simply postponed the execution of the sentence for the next day via SMS, thus causing new negative experiences and continuing the torture, provided the applicants with an additional day of torture,” reported J. Mataitytė.
“The time from when the sentence had to be carried out until the police presented the convicted person to prison was unreasonably long, leading to additional experiences,” J. Mataitytė told the administrative court and asked to be ordered to pay 2,900 euros to the policeman.
This part of the complaint was declared unfounded by the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania (SACL). The courts have held that these petty and minor crimes are not those for which moral damage is awarded.
Conditions in Lukiškės were not satisfactory
J.Mataitytė further taught that Lukiškė’s TI-K treated her inappropriately and that the conditions there were inhumane.
It is said that when he arrived at Lukiškės, he was not even offered to bathe, and it was impossible to do so in the cell, there were only two sinks from which ice water ran.
They gave him cold food, he also froze in a cell where it was humid and the temperature supposedly did not exceed 15 degrees.
“All the women in the cells slept dressed in all the warm clothes, winter jackets and shoes they had,” said J. Mataitytė.
Furthermore, he was reportedly deprived of medicine in Lukiškės and officials did not hand over the hygiene products brought to him by his relatives.
J.Mataitytė spent a total of 8 days in the now closed prison.
The courts assessed that all their complaints about the negative experiences there were unfounded and therefore they did not grant the 2,000 requested. euro damage.
They asked to be jailed as officers
Before transferring her to Panevėžys Prison, J.Mataityt wrote a request to the Lukiškės TI-K administration to keep her together with civil servants and civil servants.
Since her mother works as a judge, the woman indicated that she was in danger of being hurt by other convicts and receiving revenge at Panevėžys. However, this request was pending in time.
Transferred to the Panevėžys Correctional Center, she told the distribution commission the same thing, but they did not listen to the request, they did not even record it in the minutes and finally they uploaded it to other inmates.
J. Mataitytė was taken to the cell on February 23, 2018 with 12 other women. Already in the afternoon of the same day, three prisoners approached her, began to insult her and two of them were beaten.

The administration of the Panevėžys Correctional Institution itself assured that this attack was completely unexpected and spontaneous for them. Also, according to her conviction, J.Mataitytė was definitely not beaten because her mother is a judge.
The administration even explained that it did not know what the mother of the convict was doing, and she herself did not say anything and did not ask to be isolated. This is supposedly proven by the commission’s minutes, but the courts did not believe this version.
“The Commission’s minutes are extremely concise, they do not state that convicts will be given the opportunity to speak or will be asked questions, and therefore they consider that the minutes do not show that the applicants had the opportunity to indicate the threat. to the Commission and that the applicant does not “. written in a court order.
The administration of the Panevėžys Correctional Center further explained to the court that the inmate could have been beaten not because of her mother’s duties, but because of the crime she had committed. Furthermore, more than one woman is charged with infanticide.
“This is not a special circumstance, which shows that Panevėžys PN must isolate convicts whose crimes are negatively evaluated by other convicts,” the administration explained.
Darkart attacked
Finally, J.Mataitytė was transferred to serve his sentence together with the disabled convicts, but was also attacked here on August 9, 2018.
Since the cells are not locked during the day and the convicts can walk wherever they want, several minors approached the premises where J. Mataitytė was held and beat her.
The administration of the Panevėžys Correctional Institution explained that this attack was carried out because J. Mataitytė bought cigarettes for adolescents and distributed them for free, and then demanded payment of the debt. However, the convict himself categorically denied such a version.
“The debt settlement conflict was resolved with the help of the section chief, the convicts communicated peacefully and no one expected an outbreak of violence. Thus, non-debt for tobacco, as emphasized by Panevėžys PN, was the cause of the violence v. J. Mataityt. ”The perpetrator of the violence was not identified during the pre-trial investigation, so only the perpetrator is being tried.
The underage prisoners who attacked J. Mataitytė beat her and shouted that she would not write any more letters to her mother, who is a judge, and that she would not complain about being treated badly. Only later was a defense strategy developed in which the applicant requested the repayment of the debts, ”the complaint reads.
She added that although the assault was twice, she experiences psychological violence on a daily basis, with uncensored expressions about her and her mother being buried in her wake.
The Panevėžys PN administration itself consistently claimed in court that it had done everything right and could not prevent violence.
“In both cases, the violence against the applicant was used spontaneously, and Panevėžys PN did not have a factual or legal basis to isolate her from other convicts, nor did it create particularly good conditions for her to serve her sentence,” the administration stated. – Applicant falsely claims that in 2018. August 9, the violence used against him is related to his mother’s current position as judge. “
However, after evaluating these arguments, SACL decided that Panevėžys PN was obliged to know the potential risks, but did not do so.

In the Court’s opinion, the reasons for the violence had no legal relevance, so talking about debts in the context of this complaint is worthless.
“Furthermore, it is not disputed that the plaintiff was twice a victim of violence during the six-month period, further demonstrating that the correctional institution did not act with sufficient care and diligence,” the court ruled. – The Panevėžys PN agents acted negligently both in naming the applicant for the specific location and by failing to observe and supervise the behavior of the persons held in the institution, as well as by violating the provisions of the law to keep minors in isolation of adults, violating the general duty of care and diligence, cannot be clearly considered spontaneous “.
The court ruled that due to the actions of Panevėžys PN, J.Mataityte should receive a payment of 4,000 LTL. compensation in euros. This decision is final and is not subject to appeal.
“The plaintiffs could objectively have the impression that the state could not take care of their safety, which meant that the experiences were long-term, manifested in a constant fear of real coping,” the court said. “The plaintiff asked the prison administration for possible repression, but the latter did not adequately take care of her security, and the plaintiff, due to her maternal condition, clearly falls within the circle of vulnerable people whose security should receive special attention in the jails “.
