Jason Carter filed a new lawsuit in Federal Court Thursday. The 76-page lawsuit contains six counts including false arrest, violations of due process and malicious prosecution allegations against Agent Mark Ludwick with the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation, Marion County, Marion County Deputy Reed Kious in his individual capacity and Jason Carter’s father Bill Carter. Jason Carter was found civilly responsible for the death of his mother Shirley Carter in December of 2017 and was subsequently charged with first-degree murder for her death. Carter was found not guilty for the first-degree murder charge in March of this year. In this new lawsuit Carter is asking for an award of compensatory damages against all defendants in an amount to be determined at trial; punitive damages, plus legal fees.
