| Partner, Bell called today and was wondering about his add charges. Told him we didn't have them so I couldn't answer any questions. You might swing by and take him a copy to discuss. Told him he should have accepted service earlier and he'd know. He was disappointed to learn that the command denied our request for a 706. He also had heard from sea lawyers in the brig that maybe his MPO wasn't valid because he didn't have a copy. Told him that if he was ordered to have no contact with someone, even if verbal, it was official and enforceable. Still trying to get a visit from his wife. Also asked about whether we could get him released and put on restriction. Told him no on both counts. Said he still was required to avoid contact with his wife and due to the seriousness of the charges, we could not get him released. Said you were in town and if you had time you'd swing by. Obviously if you don't have time, you can't. He also said the IRS was auditing them and he was trying to help his wife with that but that he couldn't because of the MPO. Plus, it seems that when he was in TX he rented a hotel room with his private credit card but somehow it got charged to his Gov credit card so he was being transported over to see his SgtMaj today to answer questions about that. Told him to remain silent and not answer questions. Maybe Meridith can get us a copy of the charge sheet and take one over to him? S/f, N Neal A.
