subject: Chapter 13 Data Request For Candi Lemarr Related Data – Why Is The Convicted Thief Brown County Attorney Chuck Hanson Harassing Nemmers?
mailed-by: gmail.com
Greg Orear, Publisher New Ulm Journal, Kevin Sweeney, Editor, Fritz Busch, Staff Writer 507-359-2911:
Hey, how would you like to do a front page story on your convicted thief that you pass off as your Brown County Attorney Chuck Hanson threatening to file a false police report against me? Why did the convicted thief Hanson want to file a false police report against me? Maybe it was that I gave thief Hanson clear, precise and unquestionable evidence that one of his star witnesses for the high-profile Candi Lemarr case Mn Hooved Animal Rescue executive director Drew Fitzpatrick has willfully refused to provided me with her nonprofit’s Form 990? Did you know that federal law states that Fitzpatrick had to provide me with that readily available, free, electronic, public data the same day that I requested it? What reputable nonprofit doesn’t respond promptly to a request for a Form 990, huh? Speaking of disreputable Fitzpatrick, did you know that Fitzpatrick lost a lawsuit over one of her so-called rescue horse “adoptions”?
Maybe you want to speak to Dawn Rose about Fitzpatrick willfully refusing to pay the judgment of $1200? What reputable nonprofiit doesn’t honor their contracts or pay court ordered judgments? Hey did you know that Fitzpatrick hangs around with a bunch of criminals who impersonate peace officers at the Mn Animal Humane Society?
Did you know that Animal Humane Society’s (AHS) Humane Agent Keith Streff likes to strap on a pistol when he impersonates a peace officer? Did you know that Candi Lemarr’s (Case No. 08-CR-21-272 State of Minnesota vs Candi Jolene Lemarr) so-called attorney James Joseph Kuettner aided and abetted AHS Humane Agent Keith Streff when he was impersonating a peace office during the high-profile trial for Michael Johnson? (Court File No. 83-CR-18-513 State of Minnesota vs. Michael Charles Johnson) It’s aiding and abetting when Kuettner just asked questions of the the guy wearing the pistol on the witness stand instead of reporting it to the judge, right? How is it possible that not a single on of the trained observes noticed that Streff was impersonating a peace officer at the crime scene and on the witness stand?
Are you going to attend Lemarr’s 11-16-21 through 11-19-21 trial? Are you going to be watching to see if any of the expert witness from Anoka Equine Vet Services are being questioned about their vets trying animal cruelty cases in the court of public opinion? Have you ever obtained a confidentiality agreement signed by personnel from either Anoka Equine Vet Services or Mn Hooved Animal Rescue? Do you think that either Anoka Equine Vet Services or Mn Hooved Animal Rescue have ever obtained permission from a prosecutor to speak to the media about an active criminal case?
Don’t you find it extremely odd that a warrant for blood draws for Candi Lemarr’s horses wasn’t obtained before the Lemarr’s horses were removed from the Lemarr farm? Doesn’t it make sense to have an objective blood draw to substantiate those subjective findings from the Vet’s Henneke Body Condition Scores? You know, like the author of the Henneke Body Condition Scoring System Don Henneke said to do, right?

P.S. Did you know that the corrupt Pine County Attorney Reese Frederickson did something similar to what the thief Hanson did?
P.S. it is amazing the Brown County Sheriff’s Office personnel couldn’t fall back onto their expensive and time-consuming work-related continuing education to do a proper investigation, isn’t it?

Brown County attorney challenger admits prior conviction - Chuck Hanson said he stole credit card as MSU student By Josh Moniz jmoniz@mankatofreepress.com Sep 10, 2014 Hanson was with Clymer but was released after denying involvement. About a month later, Hanson admitted to police he had stolen the credit card and provided it to Clymer, who was dealing with serious financial difficulties. He told police he found and stole the card while delivering mail as part of his resident adviser responsibilities for the McElroy dorm at MSU. He also admitted to being with Clymer during the purchases. He said he took no items for himself.

Hanson discloses conviction while college student Local News The New Ulm Journal Sep 9, 2014 (Hanson) put it up on his website and now it's out there," Hinnenthal said.

“It’s hard to see the condition these horses came in,” said Dr. Zach Loppnow, a veterinarian at Anoka Equine Veterinary Services. “The horses came to us malnourished, evident that they didn’t receive proper care that would be expected of a normal owner.
” Reporter A: So Keith she told me that you guys came out there once and no one said anything as what steps they needed to take to make the horses better. And the second time you came out you seized the horses. So what would you say in response to that?
Animal Humane Society Humane Agent Keith Streff: That’s false. 6:02-6:18/9:40.
Reporter B: Was she given warning that her horses could be taken away if she didn’t follow the steps gave her?

Q And who is Drew Fitzpatrick?
A She owns and operates the Minnesota Ho – Down Rescue Foundation.
A She was present on the August 31st, search warrant and then again in November; is that right?
A That's correct.
O What was the purpose of her presence?
A We utilized Drew as a contractor to help us load, transport over to the University of Minnesota. She has the equipment and the facilities necessary to do that. And we also utilized her for placement of horses subsequent to the disposition hearing, if there is one.
Q You’ve used her in the past then for seizure of horses?
A I have used her for many, many years.
Q Did Mr. Friday question her presence on the property?
A Yes.
Q What was the nature of that conversation?
A It is my understanding that Mr. Friday does not get along with Ms. Fitzpatrick.
Q Tell me what the conversation was rather than your impression?
A He did not agree with her assessment or her handling the horses and the objective of the role that she plays in the equine industry and assumes that, she is - - has a vendetta against him. Page 103. State Of Minnesota, Plaintiff VS. Lowell George Friday, Defendant Case
No. 02-CR-12-197 Contested Omnibus Hearing July 6, 2012 Transcript. Honorable Sean C. Gibbs, Presiding. A: Animal Humane Society Humane Agent Keith Streff Q: Jennifer Nodes, attorney for the City of East Bethel. Redirect Examination
Details Of Report: On November 27, 2012, I was dispatched to 433 170th St in Hugo for a harassment report. … The complainant, Matthew Paul Montain, DOB: [Redacted], was advising that an unwanted male was on his property. I am familiar with this issue, as the unwanted male had been on the property last week for an issue that Sgt Johnson, #121, was dealing with. See ICR 112036632. Upon arrival there, I observed a silver Honda Element with MN LIC: 887KYD parked in the driveway outside of the office trailer on site. The vehicle registers to the Humane Society for Companion Animals. I observed a male standing near the vehicle. I am familiar with this male from the past contact as Wade Richard Hanson, DOB: [Redacted]. He is an employee of the Animal Humane Society. As I pulled up with my squad, I observed Hanson was wearing dark brown BDU style pants, black military style boots, and a dark brown wind breaker type jacket with large yellow letters on the back stating “Humane Agent.” There were patches on the upper arms of the jacket. As I got closer to Hanson, I observed that the patched indicated that he was an investigator with the Humane Society. I could see also a badge on the jacket that was shaped in a police shield style with “Investigator” on the top rocker and “Humane Society” on the bottom rocker. I saw that under the dark brown jacket, HANSON, was wearing a tan deputy style duty shirt with dark brown pocket flaps and shoulder epaulets. This shirt also had a badge like the one on his jacket. This uniform was strikingly similar to the uniform that I was wearing and he could be easily mistaken for law enforcement personnel. Initial Complaint Report ICR Number: 112036927 Agency: Washington County Sheriff’s Office ICR Created: 11/27/2012 09:55:10 Deputy S. Peulen #163 Date/Time Occurred: 1127212 – 0955 HRS. Date/Time Report Made: 112812 – 0652 HRS.
A Again, I'm not sure. I'd have to - - I know from working with the City of East Bethel that it was assumed that I was their agent and worked in that capacity, and at one point I asked them to officially documentation and send it.
Q But that was sometime after August 29th?
A It could be. I'd have to look at it. A: Animal Humane Society Humane Agent Keith Streff Q: Robert Richman, attorney for defendant Lowell Friday. Page 51. Page 51. State Of Minnesota, Plaintiff VS. Lowell George Friday, Defendant Case No. 02-CR-12-197 Contested Omnibus Hearing July 6, 2012 Transcript. Honorable Sean C. Gibbs, Presiding.
Q So given that you didn't have a search warrant what authorized you to even step on that property?
A we discussed the situation with Mr. Friday. Mr. Friday and I have a rather cordial relationship and
I explained to him exactly what the policy, procedure was that we were following, and the purpose for our visit, and that we wanted to establish the facts and circumstances regarding the health and welfare of his horses and he voluntarily allowed us to do that. Page 19. Direction Examination A: Animal Humane Society Humane Agent Keith Streff Q: Jennifer Nodes, attorney for the City of East Bethel.
A. They threatened to take the most important thing in my life. And you have three - - three officers coming in and even an officer that’s armed just like them. Very - - very unexpected. It just - - just just extremely intimidating and I’m ashamed to say it cause if I would have known today - - if I would have known then what I know today it wouldn’t have been the same. They couldn’t have bullied and intimidated me if I would have know today - - or known then what I know today; how bad it is.
Q. I am going to come back to that. When you say “armed like them”, who do you mean?
A. Mr. Streff was - - looked just like he did today. Just like a peace officer with his - - equipped just like a - - like any other deputy. But it’s - -
Q. And how about - - how about Deputy Slater and Sargant Gulden?
A. The same. They were - -
Q. Did they have a side arm with them?
A. Yeah, Yeah, they all did.
Q. And a badge - - badge on?
A. Yeah.
Q. They were in uniform?
A. Yes, they were.
Q. You said you felt intimidated. Why?
A. They came on right from the beginning bullying and badgering and I didn’t - - I didn’t - - I haven’t hid the fact from anyone that I have some bad feet. But they - - I didn’t try to to hide it on the tapes. I didn’t try to cover up from anybody. I didn’t lie to them. I didn’t - - they could have asked me if - - why I killed Adolf Hitler and I’d a said I had to. I didn’t know if I was foot or horseback that day. I didn’t
have a clue with the threatening and badgering and it was on and on like that. And it was the speaking, the gestures, everything that they did. I love my ponies. And when they threatened like that, you’ll hear someplace in there where I say that it’s the most important thing next to my family. Well, it’s the third most important thing to me. There’s God, there’s my family and there’s my ponies. And when I told - - when I told Mr. Slater in that tape that I would feel better of he shot me, I wasn’t lying. That was very true. They don’t have a clue, You can have all the experts in the world, but if you want to see a horse in pain, that grey horse that they show for their Rowdy, that grey stud that they show for their poster child, with all the nasty pictures they have, you don’t have a clue what pain is until you’ve seen a bad farrier trim them.

https://www.facebook.com/animalhumanesociety/posts/10158523240974714 Animal Humane Society November 18, 2019 · Over the weekend, Animal Humane Society removed 11 horses from a North Branch residence. The animals were malnourished, living in unsanitary conditions, and suffering from poor hoof and dental care. Criminal charges have been filed against owner Carmen Burth. The North Branch Police Department assisted AHS Humane Agents in drafting a search warrant, which was executed Friday. Minnesota Hooved Animal Rescue Foundation (MHARF) was recruited to transport and stage the horses at Anoka Equine Veterinary Services and the U of M Equine Center. The horses will remain under North Branch PD and AHS custody at our cost while they are receiving medical care and the veterinarian completes forensic exams. Once the horses are stabilized and forensic exams are complete, the information will be turned over to the county prosecutor for criminal review and the horses will be released to MHARF. This case is ongoing, and we will provide more details as they become available. Thank you.
"It's the social media that's the big difference in the almost 30 years I've been doing this," said Drew Fitzpatrick, executive director of the Minnesota Hooved Animal Rescue Foundation, which takes in many of the horses seized in the state. ... Meanwhile, she added, "I can't say 'boo.' I've got to remain quiet. I can't refute any of their claims." ... Fitzpatrick said she's gotten two death threats in the last six months, along with other threats of bodily harm.

MR. KUETTNER: Your Honor, I see that Ms. Walsh is back with us on Zoom. My client had raised an interesting issue. It appears Ms. Lieser is the lead county attorney on this file. We also have present with us Ms. Jensen and Mr. Hanson. I am not sure that they need to hear the testimony of Ms. Walsh.
MS. LIESER: Your Honor, besides that being one of the most absurd things I have heard yet today, and I have to tell the Court it's been a very interesting 24 hours, as a deputy assistant county attorney to the elected official, Chuck Hanson, they are a part of my office; they are working on this case with me; they are lawyers for the State, just as much as I am. We are all officers of the Court. There is no protective order barring them from observing, reviewing or participating in this action which is going on, as well as our potential criminal action as well. There is absolutely no basis to support Mr. Kuettner's request that my boss, the elected official of Brown County, in addition to another assistant who is working on this case with me, would prevent them from testifying. If not for the pandemic, we would all be in the courtroom, and we'd be sitting at counsel table together as licensed attorneys who have the responsibility of representing the County of Brown and with bringing forward this case and
these concerns, as well as asking the Court to dismiss it. I have absolutely no idea why or how Mr. Kuettner can make this request or what it is based upon. So I would absolutely object and ask that my office, which is working on this case, and they are working on this case with me, be allowed to participate in this hearing, and I would defer to Mr. Hanson if he has anything else to add to the record.

Why is Hanson threatening me with a false police report when I ask him to provide sufficient documentation to explain and justify his fraudulent bill for readily available, free, electronic, public data?

In: AAEP Annual Convention - Denver, 2004 by American Association of Equine Practitioners Updated: DEC 04, 2004 … With permission from the humane agency and law officials involved, the veterinarian should restrict his or her comments to the medical condition of the horses, empathy for their condition, and legitimate positive comments that can be made about any improvements noted since seizure. If the media also wish to photograph the animal(s), additional permission should be sought from the same agencies. The veterinarian should refrain from publicly judging the horse’s owner or divulging that person’s identity, if known. Media interviews can also serve as an excellent public educational opportunity to promote basic equine health care, and indirectly, may lead to public contributions to support the seized animals.

This professional approach should continue outside the courtroom as well. The media will often be eager for details of your findings or photographs or clinical details about an injured animal. These inquiries should be referred to the prosecuting attorney, who should be given an opportunity to review any reports that might be released. Veterinary experts should be particularly cautious about releasing photographs or videos of injured animals prior to legal action. Such publicity may be considered prejudicial and may affect the later admissibility of this evidence. In addition, these pictures are considered evidence and should be protected as such. Page 5. The Veterinary Professional as an Expert Witness in Animal Cruelty Cases 1 Randall Lockwood, Ph.D. Senior Vice President, Anti-Cruelty Field Services American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals http://coloradolinkproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Lockwood-The-Veterinarian-as-Expert-Witness.pdf
Types of Expert Witnesses Expert witnesses fall into 3 categories: fact expert, opinion expert, and consulting expert.2 A veterinary expert is a fact witness if he or she has direct and firsthand knowledge of the individuals in the case or the incident.3 For instance, if a veterinary expert was the first on the scene at a location of suspected animal cruelty, then he or she is a fact expert, because of direct observations of the scene of the crime. An opinion expert is a veterinary expert who is qualified to offer an opinion based on education and experience. For example, a veterinary pathologist may offer an opinion about the cause of death of an animal based on laboratory results, reports, and opinions of other experts and postmortem examination. A consulting expert is a veterinary expert hired by one of the litigants to aid in analyzing or evaluating a case. The consulting expert may or may not testify. Consulting experts are uncommon in criminal animal cruelty cases. In animal cruelty cases, a veterinary pathologist often testifies as both the fact and opinion expert. In other words, the expert has firsthand knowledge based on personal examinations and observations but is able to offer an opinion based on education and experience.4 Demystifying the Courtroom: Everything the Veterinary Pathologist Needs to Know About Testifying in an Animal Cruelty Case By Reese Frederickson, First Published May 16, 2016 Research Article Find in PubMed https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0300985816647439
However, the health of the horse is only in jeopardy if it is breaking down non-fat tissue to provide for its basic energy needs. The BCS cannot measure this function. Breakdown of non-adipose tissue for energy can be evaluated through blood analysis focusing on liver and kidney function, and the breakdown of structural tissue for energy. Blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and the ratio of blood urea nitrogen level to creatinine level are indicators of tissue breakdown. Analysis for hematocrit, serum concentrations of total protein solids, sodium, calcium, potassium, triglycerides, bilirubin, and albumin will also provide information concerning malnutrition and starvation. None of these tests are accurate on their own. However, evaluation of matching trends from the analysis can help confirm or disprove that the horse is nutritionally deprived.
