Marcus Carter has always generously let me shoot his guns at no charge./caption
It has been three and a half years since I first covered the case of a Washington State prosecutor targeting Kitsap Rifle & Revolver Club (KRRC) Executive Officer Marcus Carter. Unbelievably Kitsap County Prosecuting Attorney Russ Hauge a Democrat has still not stopped his witch hunt even though his waste of millions of dollars of taxpayers money for almost 15 years has resulted in no convictions against Carter. As someone who has been targeted for years by zealous well-connected prosecutors because of my conservative political views I have taken a keen interest in this case.
Elected prosecuting attorneys are connected to powerful members of the State Bar judges and other government officials. Hauge also is a former president of the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys. While most judges generally wont side against Carter evidenced by the 15 judicial decisions in his favor because the charges are so ridiculous they are hesitant to question or discipline one of their own. Read the rest of the article at Townhall It all appears to stem from an incident that happened at KRRC back in 1999. Hauge originally was a guest instructor on the law for the personal protection classes. At the same time he was involved in a high-profile prosecution of a man who used a gun in self-defense. After the jury unanimously found the man innocent Hauge insisted on taking up two classes trying to justify the poor decision to prosecute and wasted resources in such a clearly justifiable case of self defense.
