Hmm, very interesting. Was that charged
added at the Wing level?
I’m sure he’s very relieved. Will the sentencing
hearing start tomorrow morning? And I know it’s still early, depending on what
the panel decides, but any idea what will come for him in terms of his status
as a judge advocate?
On Burge, I was just listening again to parts of the motions
hearing testimony. (I heard her testimony on the Blosser meeting point, she
didn’t really give you a direct answer but said it was ‘incidental’ and
mentioned NCIS made aware we had set up a luncheon and “Capt. Blosser
was not responding to his calls.”
A quick question: Did Captain Wacker fully complete his law
school program, and has USD awarded him his JD?
And you mentioned something last week about
an upcoming hearing; is that related to the Smith matter?

Subject: Re: Case update-Friday?
They came back with not guilty on all except 1 specification of conduct
unbecoming for denying having sex with Brooder at the USD hearing. Stated
another, way not guilty on any charge that Smith pursued. The charge he was
found guilty on was not on the first charge sheet. It's simply about denying
sex at the administrative hearing.
Also Burge testified and
sati that Smith set up the Blosser meeting.

Haytham,
Hi, sorry to bother you, I realize it’s a busy evening
for you with the case. I had to return to the office for other assignments, and
I’m on deadline for our next issue and working on a story on the GCM and a
sidebar on Smith and the motions hearing. Is the panel still in session or
broke for the night? Any expectation about how tomorrow will go yet?
Sincerely, Gidget
