Nance v. Ozmint, 626 S.E.2d 878 (S.C.) 549 U.S. 943 (2006) [Trial counsel’s failure to<br />

investigate, plan, and present a defense constituted “a classic example <strong>of</strong> a complete breakdown<br />

in the adversarial process”. [C]ounsel abandoned his role as defense counsel and if fact helped<br />

bolster the case against his client…We again recognize that this type <strong>of</strong> “consistently inept form<br />

<strong>of</strong> lawyer conduct [is not] acceptable in this state, nor will we employ a prejudice analysis, for<br />

[defense] counsel’s ineffectiveness [is] so pervasive as to render a particularized prejudice<br />

inquiry unnecessary.”<br />

It's a complicated, ugly case against guide David Haeg<br />

CRAIG MEDRED<br />

OUTDOORS<br />

(05/17/08 23:53:56)<br />

When pilot and big-game guide David Haeg strayed outside the boundaries <strong>of</strong> a wolf<br />

control area near McGrath in 2004 to slaughter some wolves, there is little doubt he<br />

thought he was doing the right thing. Everyone involved with the wolf-killing program<br />

for which the state had permitted Haeg understood the objective was killing wolves to<br />

increase the survival chances for moose.<br />

And even if Haeg and gunner Tony Zellers were technically outside the control area, they<br />

were still operating within the boundaries <strong>of</strong> state Game Management Unit 19D, and the<br />

state calls these things "Game Management Units" for a reason.<br />

What were Haeg and Zellers doing anyway but helping to manage the game in Unit 19D<br />

Unfortunately the state didn't see it that way. Under fire from animal activists upset about<br />

the aerial gunning <strong>of</strong> wolves, the state saw in Haeg a chance to demonstrate that you can't<br />

just let wolf-control run wild, to spin an old phrase from former Gov. Wally Hickel.<br />

Still, in fairness to the <strong>Alaska</strong> state troopers and the state attorneys involved, it is near<br />

certain they too thought they were doing the right thing when they busted Haeg.<br />
