A prosecutor with common sense.

How refreshing!

Tom said he had been contacted by someone who wanted the hunter prosecuted.

Probably a college educated smart person who votes a straight Democrat ticket.

In recent years, people have thought the purpose of a prosecutor is to prosecute crimes.

No, in recent years, people have realized the purpose of a prosecutor is to invent crimes - ones that reinforce the Revolutionary narrative.

In recent years, people have thought the purpose of a prosecutor is to prosecute crimes. No. The purpose of a prosecutor is to see justice done. It is equally important to decide not to prosecute people as it is to prosecute them.

THIS. It’s what I say to every jury panel that I voir dire. “I have to prove every single element beyond a reasonable doubt. I expect you to hold me to that burden.”

That cat was going to kill someone. If the hunter couldn’t even scare it away, sounds like it may have had rabies?

I’m partial to big cats, which are in far fewer supply than human hunters. The alternative to self-defense is that the archer opportunistically killed a mountain lion that wandered past the tree stand set up in the forest for the purpose of bravely raining down death from above. Is there evidence for that? About as much for either scenario (none), with the victim being dead and all. The prosecutor can’t prosecute without proof or a confession, and hunters vote while mountain lions don’t, so yes, he has common sense.

Karash mastered the art of turning a killer kitty into a peaceable kitty - in one shot.
Well done, Karash!

I had a mountain lion cross in front of my car on the street where I live in northeast Connecticut. Called it in to the DEP and they informed me there were no mountain lions in CT. Social media blew up all around me with sightings of a mountain lion that weekend.

There was a dead one found on the highway in Milford CT a few years ago.
