Sounds good. Give me your friend's contact info and I will bring my brother down to discuss potential options, post-clemency decision (good or bad). -dsw p.s. I know I can be a stubborn, frustrating client, especially with having a law school background, but thanks for putting up with me. Dalliana thinks the same thing, but she is stuck with me for life! You are an incredible trial lawyer and I completely understand why you were selected to be an instructor at Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College. Hopefully, one day, I can learn the tricks of the trade from you (not that I already haven't picked up a lot of insight of how to approach trial vs. what law school teaches you. Thank you for the education!). -dsw Douglas S.

The airline appears to have fucked things up or my assistant didn't' know what she was doing. I will have her figure out why we got double charged for one of the tickets. We didn't really get a chance to talk at the end but I feel really happy for you. This was a rough three years. At times I was frustrated with you. Many times I doubted my abilities to make it happen. I lost many nights of sleep thinking about you going to jail and how I would face your mother. I've come to a point where the sentence is what matters. I couldn't have handled seeing you shackled and walking off to the brig. I am happy that didn't happen. I think this will turn out ok for you. You need to engage an attorney and send a letter to USD. I have a tenacious friend that is fearless when it comes to pursing those types of things. He is right in downtown San Diego. If you like I can connect you with him. The polygraph is going to cost about $300-$350 at a minimum. Before we do that why don't you engage your chain command to help you out with getting the CG to set aside the conviction especially in light of the many bad acts by Smith? -----Original Message----- From: Wacker Capt Douglas S [mailto:douglas.wacker@usmc.mil] Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2011 12:10 PM To: Haytham Faraj; Hur Capt Christian P Cc: Trujillo Bethany; douglas.wacker@gmail.com Subject: RE: Trial expenses Haytham, I've talked to Chris and am working on putting the clemency package together. I've requested letters of recommendation from: LtCol McCarthy, LtCol Shaw, Maj Lee, Maj Serano, and LtCol Pauly (AC/S Comptroller, 3d MAW) (he may or may not based on the limited contact we've had). I plan to go see the SJA, Col Brubaker, this week informally to discuss the clemency process in regard to the CG. I will work the formal process through my chain of command once I have the package complete. I intend to include the copies of my OMPF (including FitReps), the letters of recommendation, the polygraph results if they come up in my favor (I'd like to see if there is a polygrapher who can do it for $150-250), and a letter from me through counsel (You and/or Chris). Chris has also requested letters from any of the members as well. In regard to the $5k, is there a way to work out some type of payment plan? I will be able to pay it off sooner when Dalliana can get a job, but we are currently in extreme debt, so any leeway your office can give would be greatly appreciated. I know and respect the fact that with everything involved in this case this was a bargain for me on your part, and am very thankful that you still put in every effort toward my case. Even if nothing else goes my way, I am extremely grateful to have the sex offenses off my back. Let me know if you know any other polygraphers, whether they are local or not. If there is one on the West Coast, I can probably make it into a family trip. I will also ask my brother if he or any of his contacts know of any. I can't express how grateful both I and the rest of my family, particularly Dalliana and my mother, are to you and Chris for all of your dedication. Thank you so much. I feel vibrant and know I have a new lease on life, which I can never fully repay. I plan to have the formal package ready for review as a working copy by next week. S/F Doug Douglas S.

It came to just over $5k. There appears to be an airline error of about $500 one of the billings. I am going to have my assistant square it away. Once it's finalized and double checked I'll send it to you. I wanted to give you a heads up. I hope all's well with you and you had a chance to finally relax this weekend. I intend to send a letter to Judge Advocate Division raising the perjury of Smith. I plan to include the contradictory statements she made and the statements of other witnesses. I recommend you request a meeting with your SJA and request to see the General yourself. The meeting should directly address the injustice of the charges and the manipulations that brought you here. You should of course go through your chain of command. I can assist with how to address the matters with the CG. Haytham Faraj, Esq.
