| Al, Won an acquittal for a 1stLt and B-1 bomber pilot Thurs evening at Dyess, AFB in Abilene. To make a long story very short, the judge's verdict was the rarely seen, Not Guilty only by lack of mental responsibility as to all charges. The Air Force is appealing the acquittal. You want to talk about out-of-control prosecutors and SJAs? The O-6 SJA to the Numbered Air Force (Corps equivalent) commander was consulted and approved the appeal. No typos. They are actually appealing a full acquittal verdict. No need for help or action. Just thought that someone on the House Armed Services Committee might want to watch that process unfold. That O-6 SJA, in my opinion, should be relieved for cause. Forget about the fact that one cannot Constitutionally appeal an acquittal in the American criminal and/or military justice system. To even announce that you're going to try is an abuse of authority, that the SJA no doubt convinced the acting commander (a one-star) to sign on to. It is a failure to respect the rule of law. Hope you're having a fun Sunday. Marcy says hi. It's her birthday today. Neal Neal A.
