When a candidate for any office is confronted by the threat of 48 years in prison, a decent respect for the voting public obligates some kind of explanation.  While I can’t discuss the details of the bloody fight that occurred in my home on December 19th, 2010, I feel that I must inform readers, in some detail, about what is already published in Rockingham County Attorney’s Office own documentation.

At least three witnesses notified the police that one woman was wielding a knife, stating that she intended to kill someone.  Several partygoers admitted that people had been repeatedly told to leave, some refusing to do so.  At least one witness noted that the leader of an area gang tried to grab my gun during the fight, and has at least two previous convictions for attempted murder.  At least four partygoers had previous convictions for assault, battery, and other violent crimes.  Police photographs and statements show blood on the floor and damage to property, “indicative of a physical fight.” Eight indictments appear to accuse me of firing a round into the ground outside, “in an attempt to break up the fight,” which is not, as most read the law, a criminal act.

Witnesses admitted that I did not set up the party, nor was I the one who invited people.  I have many years of experience in safe handling of firearms, and did not act recklessly at any time.  Many others have asserted that the charges brought against me by the Seabrook PD were motivated by my open questioning of their bloated budget–three times the size of similar towns–lack of response to calls for service, and acts of dishonesty by certain officers (including falsifying reports and stealing from the gun range fund and Toy Bank Fund).  The truth is that the Seabrook police did not file charges against those involved in the fight, and they made a number of statements to the press and public that they knew to be untrue.  RCAO has a history of prosecuting people they know to be innocent, even suborning perjured testimony.  The truth is that I did the best I could with the crisis in front of me, and that some members of the SPD were reckless and out of control in their response to the call.  Jury selection is Monday, March 12th, and the trial will occur at Rockingham County Courthouse in Brentwood for those wanting to see the truth.  Video will be uploaded to CopBlock.org
