| Yes, he will. Points all well taken. Have learned these things from you and from other cases I've done. They've been my concern from the outset. Can you block out that time in early Feb so we can get you out there to evaluate. We'll only know if we can or should use it after we know what "it" is. Neal Neal A.

Consider this... 1. Sexual paraphilias are hard to treat, absent chemical or surgical castration. 2. While court members could be sympathetic to what seemed right (at some visceral level) to your client, the nagging question remains "would it still feel right in the future?" 3. Sexual desire is complex and somewhat hard-wired, especially in men. Andy L.

My e-mail is messed up so I only get my work e-mail by forwarding it to my personal e-mail when I'm away from the office as I am now (in Seattle). As you can see, e-mail addresses get stripped on the headers, so it is easier just to send to you. "Hurt people hurt people." People in American society know that sexual activity with minors is illegal. In other cultures it isn't. But it can still seem normal if as a very young person it was a frequent and customary part of your life. This will really be interesting if there was not other maltreatment or neglect at all. Usually this is not the case in American society; one normally globally disregards the needs of the child. I'm TDY to San Antonio and Qatar from 17 Feb to 5 Mar. I could travel to Miramar perhaps on 3 or 4 Feb, see this person on 4, 5, and/or 6 Feb, and fly back to DC on 7 Feb. This would minimize my duty days away. This isn't how I would normally propose to operate. I have to recertify in basic and advanced life support on 8 and 15, 16 Feb all day. The big problem: my availability for a late Feb/early Mar court martial. I'm also on the hook for a March court martial at Parris Island; date hasn't been set and Judge Greg Palmer may decline the defense's request for me. I'll do a telephonic session on Thursday with Maj Palmer and others on the line. Should know more after this.

GySgt Marcus Bell. He is in pretrial confinement at the brig there. We discussed this case last month, I believe. Raped and impregnated his 11-yr-old daughter. He and his wife both victims of childhood sexual abuse. We're in need of a full workup of him in order to present a full and robust mitigation case at his sentencing hearing in the springtime (TBD). You mentioned that you could do that at Miramar in a clinical setting over the course of a day or two. Looking forward to working with you again. Neal Neal A.
