RE: PFC Zachary Thompson



Neal,
  Here is the charge sheet.  I was able to scan in the first 14 pages of the discovery that the gov't provided and will email that to you separately.  There are approx 60 more pages.  I'll have the rest scanned and emailed to you tomorrow.

Neal,
 Attached is our current SILT package.  The current OIC is LtCol Devin Winklosky and the MJO is Maj Jayson Durden.  We have 4 DCs in our shop right now - me, Maj Keith Smith, Capt Ryan Krebsbach, and 1stLt Lindsay Rodman.  Maj Smith is only here for a little bit - he just got back from deployment and is set to PCS in June, so he is kind of relegated to simple cases or AdSeps.

 Case load is fine for now, but about to blow up.  I have 11 clients, 5 of them contested.  The MJO's pre-preferral board is chock full so we're getting ~20 cases preferred in the next week or so.  As of right now, there are 50 cases on the current weekly MilJus report (which includes the ~20 pre-preferral cases).

Russell,
All four files received, reviewed and saved.  Thanks!  Let me know what you hear about the urinalysis.  Looking forward to chatting with you when the time is right.  Signing off for the evening here.
Who is current LSSS OIC?  Who is Chief Trial Counsel?  How many DCs work for you?  How's your case load for the shop?

Neal,
Nice to meet you as well!  Your reputation precedes you - which is a good thing.  I hadn't heard that he popped on the urinalysis.  That info probably would have kept him in the brig.

WRT the IRO hearing, attached is file 1 of 4.  I don't know re: possibility of a SILT.  Capt Jayme Arenas (jayme.arenas@usmc.mil) is his Adjutant and his CO is Col Jay Hatton (jay.hatton@usmc.mil).  The TC that will have the case is Capt Mike Jacquez (michael.jacquez@usmc.mil).

Let me know if you need more info and I'll try and push it your way.

Hey, Capt Shinn,
Nice to meet you!  Thanks for jumping on this.  
Found out the stuff about his disciplinary history from his fiancee.  Have been retained to help negotiate an expeditious solution to his situation, whatever that may entail.  Fiancee says he popped positive on his return from UA urinalysis for marijuana.  Appreciate you forwarding the charge sheet and discovery to me via email attachment.  That will help a great deal.   Can you tell me if there's any hope of getting a SILT for him?

Sir,
I scanned in the docs that I received at the IRO, but they're too big to send.  I'll have my clerks break it up in to three separate files and try again to send them your way.  Charges have not yet been preferred, but as soon as they do I'll get you a copy of the charge sheet and evidence.

The IRO was predisposed to keeping him in the brig, due to the allegations - but the way the facts bore out and MSgt Carl Marsh saying that he was a great worker convinced the IRO to release him.  He is obviously back with his command.  MSgt Marsh's comm number is:  011-81-98-970-2751 or 011-81-98-970-4009.

Not sure how much info you have on Thompson, but he got NJP'd back in November for using Spice.  Was sent to Point Loma and went UA from there.  Before the NJP, from all accounts, he was a good Marine.

Capt Shinn,
I have been retained to represent PFC Thompson.  Earlier I sent an email to the RDC to find out who would be his detailed counsel.  His fiancee has indicated that she heard from him that you won his IRO hearing and he's out of the brig now.  Congratulations.  I know that although you did the IRO, you have discretion to detail someone else to handle his case.  I look forward to working with whomever that is.  Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated.  I don't think we've met, but I invite you to peruse my website as a way of "virtually" introducing myself.  You can also ask your boss, with whom I've worked in the past.
