Alcon: Let's tackle the availability issue first. What is the Government's position as to a continuance to 29 September? S/F, Major Redman -----Original Message----- From: Haytham Faraj [mailto:haytham@puckettfaraj.com] Sent: Monday, August 29, 2011 12:20 To: Smith Maj Keith D Cc: Redman Maj Hugh J; Marshall Maj Meridith L; Pere GySgt Christopher B Subject: Re: Eikenhorst 32 Maj Redman, I apologize my tardiness in responding. September 8 is untenable for me. My first availability is Sep 29. I request that the Article 32 be rescheduled to that date. I object to the failure to produce military witnesses. SSgt Williams, as I understand, is the main complainant. It's unacceptable that he is not produced. The fact that he is on terminal leave is of no relevance. He can be ordered to return and testify. Terminal leave is still leave.

This means that the only two witnesses that the government intends to call are Capt Dimoh and Sgt Guerrerro. > > Absent any objections by defense, my Military Justice Chief is sending the entire investigation to you simply to create context for the other statements/testimony.

Please let me know if either side has any additional witnesses they wish to call, in addition to the Government's listed below in the email chain.

Does 0800 work for you both? Also, I'd like to get a copy of the investigation IOT determine which witnesses I may want to have there that aren't on either of your lists.
