Yes.  I spoke with Cpl Valles on Friday and she has the information to get me an electronic line of accounting in DTS.  I already made reservations on base.  

By COB on Friday I still didn't have a line of accounting in DTS for the trip; I will re-check today.

Andy, 
Do you have comm with the Miramar folks working funding for your trip? ÂMeridith says your plan of meeting on Fri and Mon again with Bell are perfect.

Neal, 

Copy all. ÂI'll be around those dates, thought likely in court on a GP on the 15th. 

I can do a skeleton of the stip. ÂI'll get something out to you all in a few days. 

The only piece hanging out there re: Dr. Huff is his travel arrangements. ÂMy Marines our doing the "cross-org" of funding right now, so I think we're good to go.

Doug, 
Now that makes plenty of sense to me. ÂNever thought you were the nickel and dime type, so that was never an issue. Â 
We can work with this. ÂI'm planning a trip out there on the back end of an Okinawa trip second week in Feb. ÂProbably can hammer all this out then. ÂI'll be in town 14-16 Feb. ÂDepart for home on the 17th. ÂI think if we could get Bell to Meridith's office on the 14th, we can probably do stip with him if you can give us an skeleton of what you think you need in it. ÂWe can talk about the 125 vs. 120 with him. ÂIf we have a deal, evidentiary concessions may not be a problem. ÂGlad we're still talking through this difficult case. ÂStill may want Dr. Huff to testify in pre-sentencing, though. ÂWon't know until he does the eval. ÂDoes that look like it's happening this week?

Neal, 

This may sound strange, but I don't think I'll be able to get less than 27 years. ÂI am seriously not nickel and diming you here--everyone is concerned about the relative ages of Makeisha and GySgt Bell upon his release, and I've done the calculations based on standard good time credit. ÂA 27 year sentence seems to be the magic number (at the low end). ÂIf you can get me something in writing, plus a stip, I think I can sell 27 to the CA. Â 

I know the charge re: viewing porn was a sticking point. ÂIs he willing to plead guilty to everything else? ÂFor example, the sodomies were pled in the alternative--he'd have to plead to the sodomy under 125, not to the 120's pled in the alternative. 

I also have some very specific evidentiary concessions I'll want in there, and I much to prefer to work that out ahead of time rather than amending the PTA later. ÂI wouldn't ask you to stipulate to admissibility, but there will be several pieces of evidence (affidavits, possibly videos) I'd want to get in without having to lay a foundation; Confrontation would need to be waived is some instances of course. ÂWe can always duke out relevance. 

Either you or Meridith mentioned bringing GySgt Bell's dad out here, and that won't be a problem. 

What do you think? 

Doug

Doug, 
Here ya go. ÂThanks for making it easy. 
Now, if you could just get me a 26-yr deal, we could be done with this case without any pain or suffering.
