Marine veteran loses FOIA suit in effort to prove murder plot
Retired captain claimed former generals attempted to poison him
A retired Marine Corps officer who sought records related to what he claims is a 40-year-old murder attempt lost his case when a federal judge dismissed his lawsuit Friday.
Rory Walsh had sought letters of censure and reprimand he claimed were issued against two Marine Corps general officers. Walsh filed a request for the letters under the federal Freedom of Information Act. He then sued the Department of the Navy in 2023 when the letters were not produced.
Walsh has claimed in multiple lawsuits filed over the years that he was a victim of a murder plot in 1985 at the hands of Jerry Humble and Michael Hagee. Humble retired from the Marines in 2003 as a major general, and Hagee retired in 2007 as a four-star general and the commandant of the Marine Corps.
