| I asked her if her esteemed colleague, Maj Gannon had been put on the short list. The answer is that he was, but declined (or was declined by HHQ), due to the Wuterich case. But remembering the original order of battle, CG, MarCent directed that RDC Pacific be the detailing authority for the Haditha cases. If all 3 RDCs and their boss were conflicted, it seems that they could pick any non-conflicted JA O-5 to the job and there would be no regulatory or statutory ground to challenge it. Thus, highlighting the inadequacy, once again, of the Marine Corps defense system. Neal Neal A.

I think any COA is neutral in terms of effect on legal issues. Having
SSgt Wuterich agree to release her would be consistent with his position that
Vokey is special and no one else brings to the table what he would. The
identity of the non-Vokey detailed defense counsel is irrelevant; Vokey is
irreplaceable, so it doesn't matter who the government tried to replace him
with.
OH!!! Something just occurred to me, leading me to erase a lot of
what I had just typed. Question: if Marshall were to be relieved WHO
WOULD DETAIL HER REPLACEMENT??? Paul Atterbury is now the RDC West --
would he be conflicted? His boss is Col Baker, who I believe is
conflicted. Severing with Marshall may create the net plus of creating new
difficulties for the government trying to come up with a non-conflicted
individual to detail a new counsel.
Semper Fi,
