No Sir.  Have a safe deployment.  Haytham is providing advice on Hawk's
appeal.  He's also working on Wacker so at some point we may need you to
testify on that case.

Capt Hur,

I apologize for not getting this to you today.  As I stated, I was at an Art
32 hearing and am getting ready to deploy (I am finishing up some things
before I report to Pendleton tomorrow).  Please find the enclosed statement.
I will sign and have my Marine scan and forward to you and Mike first thing
tomorrow morning.  I should talk to LtCol Tafoya about other things for him
to do as he sees fit.   

Thanks and Semper Fi,
Maj Bueno

Sir,

I just spoke with you and want to make sure that everything I typed is
correct. As you know, I'm working on a 69b appeal for SSgt Hawk.  Below are
my notes from the interview that I will use for the appeal.  Will you please
confirm if this is correct or incorrect based on your recollection?  Please
make any additions or changes.  I've attached an affidavit template for your
convenience if you don't want to respond back via email.  Thank you Sir.

During a meeting with Col Smith, Agent Rendon was present in the conference
room.  Another agent was present too.  She told me (referring to Daniel
Ligon) "have you interviewed her?"  I said that yes I had and that her
intent was just to meet with a friend and to just hang out, it wasn't to
hook up.

Col Smith then said "Rob that's not going to make her believable.  She needs
to say that she went there knowing that there was somebody waiting for her
to hook up and that her intent was to meet this Hawk guy before showing up.
Because you can't paint her to be the virgin mary (Col Smith may have said
Mother Theresa).  You need to have her say that she went there knowing that
she was going to be fixed up with another guy."

I looked at Agent Rendon and made I contact with him.  She was telling to
change a witnesses testimony.  I believed that Col Smith, as the SJA, was
directing him to change the victim Daniel Ligon's testimony in this case.

Later, the same female victim in the case, Daniele Ligon, told me that she
didn't want to testify anymore and that she didn't want to be involved in
the case at all.  Col Smith told me to get her back on board.  Col Smith
said words to the effect, I don't care what you have to do.  Do whatever you
have to do.

I kept at it until Daniel Ligon changed her mind and wanted to cooperate
again.  

Regarding all of the other charges not related to Daniel Ligon, Col Smith
was looking into Hawk's background herself, looking at his security
clearance issues and drunk and disorderly conduct as the SJA on his case.
She brought all of that stuff up and handed it to me to prosecute.

Col Smith also found out that a CID agent was covering for Hawk.  Col Smith
got a MSgt at CID relieved.

Col Smith dug up the petty cab and drunk and disorderly incidents against
Hawk as the SJA.

I'm aware that in other cases Col Smith would frequently talk to witnesses.


Many times Col Smith would say that defense witnesses should not want to
testify for the defense...Col Smith did this in other cases.  I'm unaware if
she did this in Hawk's case.
