Those transcripts exist. Gannon has them all. I reviewed them when I drafted the original UCI and loss of counsel motions.

Oorah -- we need those transcripts as soon as possible, though our need for the 22 March transcript is far greater than our need for the others. If we can get the 22 March transcript before the others, please do so.';

All,

Nick Gannon is working on getting me the 22 March 2010 transcript.

ALSO - Govt denied my request for me and/or SSgt Wuterich to travel to DC to attend oral argument. That response is on its way to me too.

Patricio,

Thanks!!! Do we have any way of determining whether Article 39(a) sessions did or did not occur in the case on 22 March 2010? Any luck in tracking down Gannon? Can you please go to the head court reporter for the LSSS -- or whatever the hell you have out in Pendleton -- and see if they have transcripts for a 22 March 2010 Article 39(a) in Wuterich??

Sir,
We have transcript from Article 39(a) on 11-12 Mar 2009 where Mr. Puckett was on the phone and SSgt W waived the presence of Mr. Zaid/Mr. Faraj and was told due to retirement, the MC could not compel the presence of LtCol Vokey.

We can scan and send it, but we have no copy of a 39(a) from Mar 2010.
V/R,
Patricio

AHA!!! Great point, Haytham. Thanks!

Was there an Article 39(a) session on 22 March 2010????

March 22, 2009 is a Sunday. Neither I nor Neal were in California on March 22 and 23 and I have no record of a 39a taking place in March of 2009. I have no memory of Colby sitting at counselâs table in March 2010.

Okay, Keller is confusing the shit out of me. Here's what he writes:



"LtCol Tafoya informed the Military Judge that as of March 2009, no definitive decision had been reached about whether Mr. Vokey would represent Appellant in a civilian capacity. (R. 3, Mar. 10, 2009.) Several weeks later, on March 22, 2009, the Defense informed the Military Judge that Mr. Vokey was indeed on the defense team, but Appellant waived Mr. Vokeyâs presence. (R. 5-6, Mar. 22, 2010.) Despite this, after a court recess for lunch, Mr. Vokey sat at counsel table with Appellant. (R. 64, Mar. 22, 2010.) Mr. Vokey then informed the Military Judge that he had continued to represent Appellant since departing active duty (R. 65, Mar. 22, 2010)."



Note that Keller refers to a 10 March 2009 Article 39(a) session, then says several weeks later, there was a 22 March 2009 Article 39(a) session, but he identifies it in his citation as a 22 March 2010 Article 39(a) session. Which is right???



Keller continues the confusion in the next sentence, which states: "Mr. Vokey was also present on March 23 and 24, 2010. (R. 1, Mar. 23-24, 2010.)" The next sentence again refers to events he identifies as occurring in 2010: "On March 26, 2010, Mr. Vokey was absent, and Appellant waived his presence. (R. 1, Mar. 26, 2010.)" Which is right? Did those Article 39(a) sessions occur in March 2009 or March 2010? The answer to that question matters quite a bit.
