RE: US v. Rowe - Defense Motion to Dismiss



Haytham,
  Looks like we got most of what we want already - the gov't to commit that most are charged in the alternative.

"The government offers the twelve remaining specifications to the members as alternative forms of proof.

If the members do not find the accused guilty of Charge aggravated sexual assault they can find him guilty of abusive sexual contact, wrongful sexual contact, assault consummated by a battery, or indecent act.

If the members do not find the accused guilty of any non-consensual sexual offense, they can find him guilty of adultery or the conduct unbecoming charge.

If the members do not find the accused guilty of extortion they can still find him guilty of communicating indecent language."

Good morning Sir,

Attached is the government response to the defense motion to dismiss for multiplicity/unreasonable multiplication of charges.

Two other matters to address:

1. Based on the defense's filing of a motion to compel production of witnesses yesterday, the government requests some latitude in filing its response by noon today.

2. So that all parties are aware, 2ndLt Mary Finnen, a student judge advocate on ADSW awaiting TBS, will be joining the government in prosecuting the case.  I will act as lead counsel in all respects, but she will be present for all sessions of court, including the Article 39a scheduled for this Friday.  Would it be possible to swear her in this Friday?

Very Respectfully,
Capt Peter C. Combe II
