It is the same mindless, conscienceless BHLs that sit at the
top of the “criminal justice system” who refuse to consider
the victims and, instead, go to great lengths to protect the
predators from criminal sanction and return them to the
community!

SYRACUSE – A convicted murderer faces more than 129 years in
prison after a Friday incident in which he allegedly tried
to rape a 16-year-old girl playing golf and shot her four
times as she fled.

Late Monday afternoon, Craig Alan Fischer, 39, Ulysses,
entered the Hamilton County Courthouse wearing a bulletproof
vest for his safety during his first court appearance since
Grant County law enforcement arrested him in Ulysses Friday
night.

Magistrate Judge Donna Blake read the charges brought by
Hamilton County Attorney John Sauer: attempted first-degree
murder or an alternative of attempted felony murder;
aggravated kidnapping; and attempted rape. Fischer appeared
exhausted and disinterested in the proceedings.

He remains in custody at the Hamilton County Jail in lieu of
$1 million bond.

At Tamarisk Golf Course just outside Syracuse, Fischer
allegedly emerged from a portion of the Arkansas River that
borders the golf course at 5:22 p.m. Friday. He approached
Charity Maune, who was getting ready to tee off on the sixth
hole, authorities said.

The state’s complaint against Fischer alleges he held Maune
at gunpoint, tore her shirt and bra, threw her to the ground
and yelled, “I’ll shoot you.”

Hamilton County Undersheriff Mike Keating said Maune ran
from Fischer, who then fired four shots at her, striking her
in the right side of her face, twice in the right elbow and
once in the upper right arm.

Maune, bleeding and terror-stricken, ran more than a quarter
of a mile through dirt hills and high weeds for help,
Keating said. Maune was picked up in a golf cart and taken
to the clubhouse.

Maune was flown to Via Christi Regional Medical Center, St.
Francis Campus, in Wichita by Eagle Med. She was in good
condition this morning, improving from Monday’s status of
fair.

The hole where Maune was attacked is in an isolated area of
the course, bordered by the Arkansas River. Fischer was not
a guest of the golf course.

Ruby Thompson, who volunteers at the golf course and was
working the day of the attack, said the few golfers at the
course saw Fischer’s truck blast out of the parking lot. She
said one of the golfers chased Fischer for a while.

Fischer, who has distinguishing strawberry blond hair, has a
lengthy criminal record.

In 1976, at the age of 16, he fatally shot two 18-year-old
women in Colorado. Four years after his 1992 prison release,
Fischer choked a friend’s 9-year-old daughter and his own
11-year-old stepdaughter until they blacked out. He was
imprisoned for that incident until October 1998.

The parents of the 9-year old girl, unaware of his murder
convictions, agreed to let Fischer plead to a reduced count
of aggravated battery.

Prior to his 1996 battery conviction, Fischer was in and out
of jail for offenses such as being drunk and causing
criminal damage to property, selling marijuana, disorderly
conduct and battery. This year, a battery complaint against
Fischer was dismissed.
