Subject: Air Force Circuit Rules for withdrawal Partner, We'll need to comply with this rule, with a justification and averring we have the client's consent. I'm not really clear on what reason we're going to give. Not as easy as in the old days when you just got the client to waive. AF is the most rule-bound of the services.

Dr. Papcun is going to be great for us. Here is the rule on
dismissal of civilian counsel.
Air Force Rules of Court, Rule 2.4
(C) CIVILIAN DEFENSE COUNSEL. Civilian defense counsel may not withdraw
from representation of the accused without the military judge's approval,
whether or not the accused desires to release the civilian counsel. Willful
failure of a fee-paying client to comply with the terms of the contract for
representation may provide grounds for counsel to request to withdraw. The
failure to pay the fee does not, however, terminate the attorney's
obligations as an officer of the court. If counsel seeks permission to
withdraw before the case is docketed for trial, send the request to the CDO
for action by the CTJ or DCTJ.
So if Haytham is not going to be available, and Burke is OK with that, we
want to file Haytham's request to withdraw soon.
The course is going well and I'm glad my computer access is actually working
the way it is supposed to : ) If you have a list of things you want/need
printed out to have available at trial, please let me know so I can work to
get all that together once I get to Dyess.

Thanks, Ranae! Just between you and me for the moment, Haytham has gotten
pretty busy of late and is unlikely, as of today, to be able to make the
trip. So it'll be just you and me for the trial. Haven't told our client
yet. Was going to wait a bit. Will call him later in the week to discuss.
Just got good news from Dr. Papcun. He can definitively say that there was
less background noise before the car door closing than before and that it
remained the same throughout the rest of the call. He's going to render
some sound "images" that prove it. He can already prove that the car engine
revving was from a car that was moving neither toward nor away from the
phone making the call. We only need ask Wendy a few more questions to be
able to pin her down that she didn't climb into her car after "finding" it,
as one would not do if making a stolen/crashed vehicle report to the cops.
You'd want to leave the car in the place you found it for the cop to find.
We can prove she's lying about the whole assault, driving drunk, car theft,
leaving the scene of an accident thing, solely through audio forensics.
Hope you're enjoying the course!

I believe you are asking for a certified true copy of the record. Is that
correct? If you can clarify that this is correct, I can have that ready for
you to pick up by COB.

Subject: U.S. v. Burke -
Maj Williams & Capt Gorham,
The attorneys for 1st Lt Patrick T. Burke (the Defense) have notified the
Government of their intent to offer the defense of lack of mental
responsibility at trial. As a result of this notice/intent, the Defense has
already provided the Government the Sanity Board "Long" Report.
Additionally, both of you are now potential witnesses for the court-martial.
At this time the Government requests you provide copies of any and all notes
created as part of or a result of the sanity board. Anything you provide to
the Government will be copied to the Defense immediately.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding this
matter.
v/r,
Dustin B. Kouba, Capt, USAF
