Re: Update from Capt Kouba



It's not really a big deal.  They want them to prove he bought beer/liquor.  We know that already.  Just another way of showing voluntary intoxication, which we don't deny.  I like it when they put on a bunch of evidence irrelevant to the main issue.  It makes them look like they're stretching to make the evidence fit the case, which they cannot do.

I do but it's federal. It's a motion for a protective order or motion to quash. It's permissible under RCM 905 or 906 I believe. 
The reason is it would now be a search. They can't go searching records without a court order. A subpoena is improper. A subpoena does not trump the 4th Amendment.

I've successfully slowed disclosure of subpoened records by filing a motion to quash and sending a copy to the counsel for the company that is target of the subpoena. Given that trial is a week away. Government won't be able to get those records before trial. The company won't release records until they have a court order which will not happen before trial.

Ranae,
Please contact Mr. Hossman and find out what they asked him about and what he will say.
We object to the judicial notice. 
OK with turning over long form report.

I just spoke to Capt Kouba and here are a few updates:
 
They are subpoenaing 1Lt Burke’s USAA financial records from the time period of the offense.  They intend to use the records to show that he was voluntarily purchasing alcohol at the bar.
 
They added a witness, Matt Hossman.  He was at the bar and is actually in one of the photographs we have of our client at the bar.  They believe he will testify to 1Lt Burke’s behavior while at the bar, that he was voluntarily consuming alcohol and also is the foundation for entering that photo.
 
He wanted to know if we were going to object to the judge taking judicial notice of a Google map of the area where the criminal conduct allegedly occurred.  If we do they’ll have one of the officers lay the foundation for it.
 
Lastly, I’m going to send him the “long” report as part of our ongoing discovery now that we’ve provided notice of the special defense.
