Christopher Swatosh after Court appearance at the Ozark County courthouse. Christopher told me and my info on Russo; so his friend Matt Weatherman would get the Prosecutor job in Ozark County. “No way Judge Carter will appoint him“ is exact words. If I would put this information up, the exact words I use in the video are, “ three time loser,“ that’s what Swatosh said. I would have no way to know this info about Russo. It came from Christopher Swatosh to get his good friend Matthew Weatherman the job as prosecutor. Russo’s news release said he was retiring. Just a week after Weatherman’s appointment, Russo went to work in Merriam County, Arkansas as their Prosecutor.
Ozark County prosecuting attorney. Weatherman was appointed to the position by 44th Judicial Circuit Judge Craig Carter, according to an Ozark County Times report. He is completing the remaining year of retiring Prosecutor John Garrabrant’s

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF OZARK COUNTY, MISSOURI
STATE OF MISSOURI,
Case No. 21OZ-CR00214-03
DARRELL MCCLANAHAN
MOTION FOR SPECIAL PROSECUTOR/REQUEST HEARING
Comes Now Darrell McClanahan pro se does respectfully request the Honorable Court to recuse/disqualify Ozark County Prosecutor Matt Weatherman.
Prosecutor Weatherman should be recused/disqualified due to his conflict of interest concerning his friend and fellow attorney Christopher Swatosh concerning unethical behavior on the part of attorney Christopher Swatosh. Attorney Swatosh on 10/1/21 released political dirt concerning John Russo’s application for Ozark Co. Prosecutor. This information given to me was that John Russo owed $50,000 in back taxes. Christopher Swatosh asked me to release the information on my YouTube channel Missouri Battleflag saying the “public won’t like that” and “there is no way Judge Carter would appoint him; he’s a three time loser” referring to Russo, knowing this personal information would make it impossible for Russo to be appointed to the position of Ozark County Prosecutor. The information was published and released weeks prior to Russo’s withdrawal of his application for Ozark Co. Prosecutor.
These circumstances affect Ozark County Prosecutor Matt Weatherman’s ability to prosecute the above case/Darrell McClanahan. A prosecutor should not allow interests in personal advancement or aggrandizement to affect judgement regarding what is in the best interest of justice in any case.
A prosecutor who has significant personal, political, financial, professional, business, property, or other relationship with another lawyer should not participate in the prosecution of a person who is represented by the other lawyer.
I believe the allegations and conflict of interest are serious enough to warrant an official investigation.
For these reasons, I request the Honorable Court to schedule a hearing and subpoena Christopher Swatosh to answer to these allegations.
I do respectfully request the Honorable Court to recuse/disqualify Prosecutor Matt Weatherman.
